We chose this cruise because we wanted to help our friends celebrate their anniversary. Ended up with 11 going but the cruise was delayed due to Hurricane Nate. We waited around and got to go out for 2 1/2 days and everything was great. All the crew seemed to do their best to help us have a good time and very friendly! We had great rooms, most were inside ones on different decks, but no one had any issues. Embarkation and debarkation went smoothly even tho it took hours to get the ship up the river and docked. We really enjoyed it and was happy that we went even tho there wasn't any port calls. Carnival did well to make up for the unfortunate weather event. We ate in the dining rooms almost every meal and was always well taken care of. Evening entertainment was wonderful in the atrium bar area. Lots to do every day.
Our room was comfortable and in a great location near the atrium. Only issue was during the entertainment time at night, it got a bit noisy. We had plenty of room.
We drove into Mobile to catch the cruise and it was very easy access and parking was right at the port. Easy drive to find something to eat in the city center, only a few blocks away.
