The ship décor was fresh and modern. The port stops are all amazing with plenty to see and do. We did a combo of our own excursions and Carnival's. We booked the Mt. Vesuvius/Pompeii excursion through Carnival and it was really good. The comedians were good. Overall we enjoyed the cruise. However, we had a set late dining table at 8:15pm and for the first 5 nights, they kept moving our table, each night telling us 'this' will be your table for the week. This was frustrating (there were 4 of us). At one point they wanted to set us between 2 noisy serving stations - we nixed that and got a window table. We never saw any singing or entertainment from the dining staff either. We actually didn't realize until the 8th night, when speaking to our server, that we were actually 'overflow' from the set-time dining room and we were actually in the 'any-time' dining room, Havana. We have cruised Carnival many years and never had this happen. Ahh! This now made sense. They only do the entertainment once in any-time dining at 7:30pm, so that's why we didn't see any at our 8:15pm seating and also why we kept getting moved around. If they have overflow from set-dining, then they need to better plan the set vs open tables. Food was good; seemed like some new items as well as authentic specials based on the port of call.
