Price and date played big factors in choosing this cruise. I am trying to cruise on every ship that Carnival has. We enjoyed everything about the cruise except for our experiences during the two brunches we attended. We always enjoy meeting fellow cruisers, but we are thinking about not asking for sharing tables during brunch. Seems like it takes twice as long to get served. This time we were served in three shifts which means some people were done while others were eating and others were just ordering, all at one table. Weird way to handle the situation. They also did not have the buns I enjoy at brunch. Let down.... My husband sat down on some tar balls while in port at Cozumel up in the Serenity Deck. We were issued credit to cover the cost of the shorts. Serenity was very noisy. Don't know how to let guests know that shouting or constant conversation is not meant for that area.
