First timers with Carnival and on the whole had a good experience.
Embarkation was very smooth with no hitches. Cabin was very roomy with the most storage space we have ever had on a cruise. Room steward was rarely seen, but we do not tend to need much in the way of service in this area.
MDR was fine with good staff in Gerson, Atom & Edi. Food reasonable and you could get extra portions if necessary. Breakfast was OK, but lunch was very poor with a limited choice at the Lido. We actually had burger and pizza most days.
