Loved this ship design, loved the itinerary. But the service varied from excellent, to adequate, to poor. First time on one of Carnival's big ships. Plenty to do every day. Cabin service was excellent, some of the best I ever had. Entertainment ran the gamut, some very good music groups, I thought the show performers were quite average (the Cuba show was great), bar service was overall fine, but the dining service was poor. Slow, inattentive, and often wrong. The restaurant management did try to address it, but it never got solved. The comedy club is too small. Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes early for the adult shows to make sure you get a seat. The main theater is oddly designed. I'd guess at least half of the seats have some level of obstructed views due to odd seating angles, a flat main seating area, and metal posts. Loved the itinerary with plenty to do in all ports

Cabin Review

Interior

Cabin 4A

Decent sized for a low cost interior. Small cooler. You could feel the ocean roll the ship in rough water, so probably not the best location if you easily get seasick. VERY quiet, decent sized shower. Not a ton of storage space if you bring a lot of clothes, but enough room for the typical cruiser
