This was our 11th cruise with Carnival, and the best ship yet. The ship had an elegant feel to it, as opposed to the 'party' atmosphere on the other Carnival ships.
The balcony-room had no frills, but had the basics for a cozy stay.
We chose the 'dine-any-time' option, and never had any problem getting a table for two, which turned out to be a lovely private booth every evening. The food was served in generous portions, and was always delicious. And I am a picky eater.
