Overall a cruise is what you make of it. My wife and I had a great time from the time we boarded and until we disembarked in Galveston. We just decided to book a inside cabin this time and was plenty of room for the 2 of us. Dining has gone down hill with Carnival a bit. I am not complaining, rather you notice a lack in food quality at times. Guy's and Blue Iguana are both great options too. We enjoyed all of the shows from comedy to theater productions. Cozumel was great as always, we visited Nachi Cocom again and would recommend. Alchemy Bar is unique and fun to try different drinks. Casino was a bit smoky as others have said, but not overwhelming. We would go again, you cannot beat a short trip from a drive-able port for such a low cost. Like I said, you get what you want out of a cruise.
