This was our first cruise and after reading some of these reviews, I became quite nervous. After the first day, I realized I had absolutely nothing to worry about.

Food: Gained five pounds! I never took an elevator and jogged on the track almost daily. We had your time dining, which I totally recommend. We had the same table and the same waiter each night. We never felt rushed to make it to dinner. Food quality was fantastic. My husband is a chef and thought food was superior. I also liked the fact that there are lots of healthy choices too, instead of the higher fat foods. The buffet was typical buffet food and line ups long at times but you're on vacation, what's the rush?

Entertainment: Kids enjoyed Camp Carnival, 2-5 and 6-8. They went there about 2 hours per day in the evening to allow the adults some fun time. They really enjoyed their activities and counsellors were very kind and patient. There were about 800 kids on our cruise that used Camp Carnival from all age groups. Our groups always seemed very well controlled when it was time to pick up our wee ones. Read more
