This was my first time on Carnival and on a smaller ship. I was very under whelmed, but it could be the right ship for someone else.
The smaller size of the ship was handy since I was with a group of women and it wasn't hard to run into each other or meet up. I really liked the outdoor space especially on the aft of the ship. We could also eat outside as there were several tables around the the buffet on the outside. A big plus for me.
The food was average at best. The buffet lunches looked interesting but i could never get the timing right and missed a lot of lunches. Disappointed that they closed at a specific time. I actually saw a staffer pull a dish away from someone trying to take a piece of cake!!!!! We did anytime dining which was convenient and easy to get seated. They had a pizza (good) spot and a grill at all times so you wouldn't go hungry. And the favorite:soft serve ice cream.
The good: Nice size for a bargain. Big enough bathroom, great shower. Nice window.The bad: Smelled like food garbage after 10pm, but you could air it out by opening the door. COLD!!!!!!!!!I wrote a longer review in the forums.
