First, a bit about me (so you can understand this review a little better). My wife and I are thirtysomething parents of two young girls, which we left at home for this trip. This means we were mainly looking for quiet relaxation rather than excitement and nonstop entertainment. That's why we picked an 8-night cruise with only 3 ports - we love sea days! This was my 12th cruise (my wife's 15th), including 5 on Carnival, so my ratings are based on how this cruise compared to the others I have taken. On with the review:

The ship itself is in great shape - very clean and well-maintained. The layout isn't bad, with the exception of the Lido buffet, which was a little hard to navigate during busy times - it could've used wider walkways, but I guess they were trying to maximize seating. It was always easy to find good lounge chairs up on deck, especially on deck 10 toward the back, though the main pool areas got a bit crowded on sea days. One thing I do like about Carnival is that the only place you find Astroturf is on the mini-golf course.

The overall age of the passengers on this particular trip was a lot older than most other Carnival cruises we've been on - this was most likely due to the schedule (Wednesday - Thursday), trip length and time of year. We saw very few adults under the age of 35, and as a result there was usually not much happening in the disco or nightclubs at night. Not that we cared much - we didn't come to party. The casino was always hopping, though.
