First time on Carnival in a number of years. Great experience overall. Loved the entertainment - but could not get into the comedy club most of the time. Good comedians so everyone wanted to be there. Good food, and generous portions in the dining room. Dining room had booths in some areas - nice private touch in my view. Had great table and room service and room make up. Everything was very clean. I would sail this ship again but out look at others of this vintage (2007) or newer and hope for a promenade like the Freedom Class in RCCL. I prefer less obstructed pool areas and like the open street feel of a promenade.

This deck plan is similar to Costa Magica - tiered deck around the main pool and only one deck that let's you go from forward to aft. Area around the photo shop also gets congested because the shops are there, there are major support pillars in the center of the walkway, a spiral staircase open to the deck below with a loud musical group. Difficult to get and decide on photos. I don't care for all the steps in the pool area.

The adults only pool area was wonderful. Large hot tub, 2 showers, pizza and burgers stations and it's own bar. There were sliding doors to the "buffet area" and lots of tables for dining. With one small exception the Adults Only was enforced. Pools was salt water and a great water temp to hang out. Read more
