my wife and i took our 6th cruise but the first on carnival spirit. we had the wrap around balcony suite on deck 7.
CABIN: quite nice, with the balcony being the highlight and we spent a lot of time there. we did have a little bit of soot problem when leaving Suva. Another problem we encountered was cigarette butts ending up on our balcony overnight. worst night was the 2nd night when 3 butts ended up on our balcony with one of them landing on the outside lounge when it was still alight and ended up burning a hole in it. we complained at the desk because there was supposedly no smoking down our neck of the woods!!. we were under the serenity and were wondering if people were smoking there and getting away with it. the room stewards were fine. they came in at times when we were away from the cabin and tidied it to an acceptable level, nothing exceptional, they simply did their job. one point is that always referred to us by our first names which was nice.
DECOR: we liked it, but it certainly would not appeal to everyone.
