I really enjoy enjoy cruising with Carnival. The staff, the ships, entertainment, variety of food and affordability make for a wonderful vacation experience.
Unpack one time, see a variety of interesting ports, meet great people and and the dining, entertainment and service is all included. If you want to further enhance your cruise, there are are a lot of ways to spend additional money or just enjoy all there is for one price.
The cruise director and entertainment staff were engaging and very talented. The main stage shows were absolutely fabulous!
Lots of room, opted to put bunk bedding on the floor as opposed to climbing the ladder. I would replace the bedding in the morning so the cabin steward wouldn't have to. This created additional floor space to use for dressing, unpacking, packing and preparing for daily activities.
After taking a tender in, we just looked around some of the shops briefly. Having been here a few times before, we went back to enjoy the ship while most passengers ashore.
