Reading the reviews it's hard to believe some were on the same ship.

Embarkment: We arrived at port via hotel shuttle around 12:30PM, we had requested wheelchair assistance and that never happened. If I have a complaint about Carnival- they can certainly do better in this area. We were told there were no wheelchairs available and to "grab" one if we could. After going thru security we did find one, on our own, and proceeded with check-in process. This went smoothly for us. Getting the wheelchair up that steep ramp was another story. Again there was no assistance. Thought I about died pushing that chair up that steep ramp. We were onboard by 1:30PM. I did hear it went down hill from there with waits as long as 3 hours.

Ship: I thought the ship was fine. I didn't feel like it was Pepto Bismo but do agree with another poster that the pink circles on the elevators was a bit much. Having sailed on the Liberty in 2006 I thought the ship was very similar in layout with a few exceptions. The lido deck roof did not open the entire time. CD Goose told us that in rough seas it had come off track and weighed 40 tons so was not an easy fix. It was unfortunate but people seemed to go with the flow and enjoyed the aft pool and upper deck for sunbathing. The lounges were similar in size and venue to the Liberty also. Read more
