Well I choose this cruise because I did not want to spend a ton of money on air fare. We booked last minute and got an upgrade to a balcony room. We arrived at Baltimore port around 1pm check in was exteremely easy, we were on the ship and in our room by 1:30pm.
Our room was great it was a balcony room, my biggest disappointment was the noise. The banging of the balcony room aside of us was unbeleivable. I swear to you those people banged that door every chance they had. Ok so that is my biggest complaint.
the cruise was very different then other carnival cruises we have been on, the people were very different, not bad different just different. Many first time cruisers.
We were in cabin 8217...it was terribly noisy but it was nice and comfy. The balcony was nice but the noise from the chairs above in the restaurant dagging across the floor, and the slamming of our neighbors balcony doors. Also there is a reason is privacy dividers, it means don't look at my balcony, I will be naked...LOL
