I started on this cruise a little skeptical. It's our fifth Carnival Cruise, sixth overall and while we've always had a great time, these ports didn't interest me as much and on our last cruise some of the on ship activities started to be "old routine." We picked this cruise because of the dates and because we wanted "something different" than the Carribean.

Well, we had a great time. We met some of the nicest people of any cruise. Our dinner-mates matched out age and interests pretty well and activities were well attended. Someone said that average age was 55, but frankly it seemed well distributed between people in the 20's, 30's 40's 50's 60's 70's and 80's.

Even though there were 3500 guests, there was never a crowd except for the chocolate buffet which could have used additional lines.

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin 8C

Our cabin was a balcony cabin - midship on 7. We love that location. Convenient to go up or down (we take stairs) and we heard very little outside noise. We've been on 8 below the Lido deck a few times and there we hear the deck chairs being put out in the morning, etc.

The biggest negative was that there was only one american and one european electrical outlet and we brought two computers and two cell phones that need electric/charging.
