Everything excellent . Driving to port saves on cost. The ship was clean, staff friendly. I cruise a lot and carnival suits me fine. The food was great. Cabin was great (interior to save money. I usually cruise 2 times a year. I just like the casual atmosphere of carnival.
I do this cruise at least one time each year
When I want to splurge I go on RCCL. Not stuffy but more elegant in some ways than carnival is.
U71. Very suitable, clean, room steward was. So personable, and seemed to enjoy his job
