This was my third cruise on this ship and same itinerary each time. No problem with embarkation and disembarking the ship. Ship's interior is a bit run down but it is 12 years old. Needs refurbishment. Stateroom was decent. We paid extra for an extended balcony but I don't think it was worth the extra cost. Our room attendant was not efficient. We had to ask for typical items like soap, bottled water, and ice that should have been in the stateroom. As usual, the refrigerator was jam packed with beer and liquor not leaving any room for water bottles or wine. We took those items out ourselves.
Pools were VERY crowded and had a difficult time finding a chair. Carnival's website states there is an "indoor" pool & posts a picture, but there were no covers on any of the outside pools. So you couldn't use any of those areas if it was raining. The Serenity pool is "adults only". That is accurate but the pool is too small for all the adults that wanted to hang out in that area.
Entertainment was fairly good. We went to see the comedy routines and they were funny except for one female. Laughed a lot. One of the lounges had a live band that played "Motown" hits from the past and they put on a good show.
