Let me start with the positives... We had fantastic service at the Red Frog (our fave spot). Our teen loved club o2 for 15-17 yr olds. She spent a lot more time there than our last 2 cruises with carnival. Maid service for our cabin was wonderful. They left our cabin very clean each day. Overall, the ship was impressively clean too!
Now.... I was super excited about the recent dry dock improvements. Most of it was fabulous. However, the design of the Nouveau Restaurant was very poor and dated. I could see that it was new but I felt I had walked into 1980. Too Carnival, UPDATE THE STATEROOMS!!!! Good grief! Why would anyone find mint greens bathrooms and blush colored cabins appealing. The rest of the ship is gorgeous but the staterooms are downright ugly.
Entertainment.... I'm sure a nursing home is more lively than this ship.
The balcony was very small. Room size was okay. Decor was terrible. Only plus was that the maid service kept it very clean.
We took the shuttle to downtown. Lots of shops and places to see on foot. Wish we had more time here.
