Great 13 day cruise, an 8 and 5 day cruise back to back, wonderful staff and lots to do. The entertainment was excellent but sadly, the orchestra is no more!! we have a 14 year old boy who we hardly saw, he was in his Circle C club most of the time. High point was him speaking self taught sign language with a deaf boy of the same age. We self assisted for disembarkation which suited us better, we left the ship really early and were on our way.

I used the well equipped gym on several occasions and had great confidence in the PTs. Our dinner was anytime and we stayed with the same outstanding crew all through, the hostesses and managers were brilliant in their work and engagement.

I would strongly recommend this ship on the strength of our experience, the crew were second to none and couldn't do enough, the current Captain had his family on board and they were equally delightful too, no airs and graces, normal people on holiday. A great advert for Carnival on this showing. Why only 4, well, it wasn't perfect as nothing is but there were a couple of minor matters that if resolved, could have earned a 5.
