We were offered a last minute uograde which we paid for to go from the very back of floor 1 to floor 6. The logistics of such a move put some strain on the system. We received document, invites and other messages for the previous occupants until the third day. I turned platinum this cruise but got a gold card which was corrected when we went to guest services. Here's the rub, everything on the ship was small and crammed in. Atrium tiny and cramped. Casino all smoking so I feel sorry for those who don't smoke, I do so not problem for me.
If you didn't like what was on the menu for the MDR the buffet seemed to serve the same thing. IT seemed that they wanted to steer towards added charge specialty restaurants.
Casino bar had stainless steel fixtures that were broken for such a new ship . Several slot machines were non functioning.
The cabin was typical Carnival o.k. but not wow! USB ports for charging things is a nice addition. Being so new the cabin was fresh and clean. No real complaints about the room.
