This is our thrid try with Carnival and it will be our last. I'll try and focus on pros and cons but I wont hold any punches with the negitivties in order for you to fully understand how Carnival has gone down hill and with it, any recommendation from me.

Arrival and check in: We had an suite and Priority Check-in was a perk as we were on board in less than 10 minutes. Co-travelers with us did not have a "suite" and had chosen the FTTF option. They matched our time, by passing huge line ups due to FTTF. Tip: for $50 per cabin (not per person) FTTF is worth every penny as it gives you priorty embarkcation upon arrival, priority tendering, priority disembarkcation etc....

Cabin: 7325. An ocean suite (OS) starboard side mid-ships. Great location and quiet. Family of three had plenty of room and closet space. The beds were conforatable and the room very clean. Thumbs up to Aldo who pampered us. Water pressure in the shower was very low, forcing you to stand close to the wall to be under the trickle. This low pressure issue lasted the entire cruise regardless of the hour so it wasn't a usage dependant problem. Read more
