We take Carnival every year, this was my least favorite ship that we've ever went on. It was hot all over the ship, the cabins were miserable hot, and every guest that I spoke with stated the same. The bars, hallways, you would be dressed up to have a great night and sweating your butt off all night. It's not a very pretty ship, just kind of blah. The people who work on it were awesome like always. We personally would never go on this ship again. There was not a lot of entertaining on the days at ship , just lots of trying to sale you something, mainly the spa. The children on this ship were out of control, just all over the place. Parents weren't watching them and the staff wouldn't do anything. There is no adult only pool so expect to get water constantly kicked in your face and drink. Couldn't even play put put golf, the kids were sitting all over the course just running wild, while their parents were off not caring. My husband who is law enforcement and I save up all year for this , and what a let down this year. Oh and I always pay gratuities up front, all of them make you feel guilty for not giving them more once you're on the ship.
