Our third Carnival cruise because our friends are Platinum cruisers and will cruise no other. I love Royal Caribbean and will never stray from Royal again. Dining room resembled your local Denny's. No WOW factor what so ever. Atrium very small, again no WOW. Show room very small for size of ship. Again no WOW.

Food was fair at best. It was as if Carnival hadn't a clue how to staff a ship that size. I must say the cruise director named Matt was great. The band in the Havana bar kicked butt. The piano bar entertainer was very funny and entertaining even though he couldn't sing very well. Too many nights at sea.

This was my third attempt at Carnival. Every time they fell way short of my cruise experiences on Royal. My advice would be to forget about Carnival when you are booking your next cruise. Many of us save for a long time to cruise, make it a memorable experience, stay away from Carnival.
