We always travel this time of year. All in all the cruise was good . The comedy club was great . The musical entertainment was so-so. The food was good . Only went once to dinning room , it takes too long and food is just has good and I can take what I like in the buffet.

I really like the cabin , but the smoking is a problem. I can see that Carnival does not want to get people mad . They have rules about smoking , but they won't do anything about it. The casino smoke fills the Atrium so it smoke bothers you it comes out to the Atrium while you are trying to listen to music. Aggravating!!

Itinerary is good. Also make sure you know which cruise Port your ship is at in Tampa there no signs to tell you where to go . You might go to the NCL ship by mistake.
