We sailed with Carnival a number of times. Unfortunately the food quality and amenities deteriorated each time. Service are suffering too because the staff are overworked. This might be the last time we will set foot on a Carnival ship.
Here are some of the low points of our tripe:
• We sat on a dirty flood from 12 to 5 pm before we were able to board the ship.
The room size is about the same as most of the balcony rooms. The balcony is about 20% bigger. This room is good if you have many sea days as the balcony is recessed from the front part of the ship. You can sit out in the balcony without been blown away by the wind when the ship is moving. The room location also give you quick access to the buffet and Serenity area.
