This was our fourth cruise, first with Carnival. Very disappointed.
Check-in and check-out was a pleasure - went smoothly and quickly. Boat didn't leave Long Beach until 6:45 p.m. We planned to spend some time on the ship, enjoy our little family getaway. The only good place was in our cabin (with balcony). Although it was not very clean (handprints around all door knobs, sunblock/hairspray spatters on all the walls near the mirrors, bathroom smelled of sewage), fridge cooled down only slightly, no lights near closets, we made the best of it. We were also lucky enough to have an amazing cabin attendant, Anita.
I'm sorry, but I cannot say much of anything else good about this boat/cruise.
