We really enjoyed this cruise; being a Platinum member made the cruise that much better. Getting on and off the cruise ship were a breeze and done very quickly and efficiently. Having priority on embarking on a tender at a port is a big plus. There was ample seating for the evening shows. The complimentary beverage event for Gold and above members was one of the best we've experienced on a Carnival ship - not very crowded and great service and entertainment. One of our waiters, Gerard, a World History teacher from India, was very entertaining - during the evening dinner entertainment by the dining room crew, on three nights, he donned and imitated Michael Jackson outfits and Batman and Spiderman outfits. We definitely will consider this cruise again in the future.

The only complaint I have is that the coffee on the Lido deck is on the bitter side. We ended up going to breakfast in the Pacific dining room because the coffee, although using the same coffee grounds, was much better - we found out the dining room brews the coffee differently.
