Chose this cruise as part of a crochet cruise. We had a group of about 100 on board, with daily meetings in the conference space. With only 1/2 the conference center available to us (Park West was permanently in the other side), it was a bit crowded using tables with all of us working, but it was manageable.

The cruise was originally an Eastern Caribbean but got rerouted to the Western route after hurricanes flattened all the eastern ports. We were on a back to back, so got to go to all the same ports twice. This review covers both weeks.

Cabins: Our first week cabin was an upgrade - an exterior view cabin on Deck 1. Carnival had offered us the upgrade for $70. The cabin felt much more spacious than our usual interior, with enough space for a couch (pull out), and the porthole right above the gangplank - fantastic for people watching. The cabin also had two bathrooms - with the second one having a "bathtub" that might fit a small pre-teen for soaking and a sink (no toilet). However, it made a fantastic shower, and it was nice having the two rooms. Read more
