We were quite pleased with this cruise. This was our 10th time to cruise and our fourth time with Carnival. Embarkation went really smooth and quick. We were on the ship within 20-30 minutes of our arrival at the terminal. We were traveling with one other couple and our dining time and tables were different. This was one of the first things we attended to. There was quite a line of passengers with dining seating mix-ups. They were able to move us to another table where we could dine together. We ended up at a table for 10, but only had 4 other women at our table.

We found the food to be quite good. We had dinner in the main dining room in the evening, but ate at the buffets for breakfast and lunch. The breakfast buffet could use some improvement. Not much variety. For lunch, there was a nice salad bar, great hamburgers and grilled chicken(if you ask for it), pretty good pizza Chris a day and a few variations on the buffet each day.

Our room (oceanview) was quite adequate with a nice size shower. We find that Carnival staterooms are a bit larger than other lines. The carpet in the halls on our deck (upper) was very stained. It looked wet and mildewed. The other decks looked fine. They were in the process of changing carpet in the main lobby areas where you got off the elevator and stairs. I suppose they will be changing the hall carpet fairly soon. Everything else throughout the ship looked to be in good condition. Read more
