--This review is organized by port or event. We actually decided to carry on our luggage on the flight. It took some careful planning but we made it work. We really enjoyed ourselves and would like to share the things we really liked and things we could do without. We cruised in early March which was the first week of college spring break. There were many college students on this cruise - translate to lots of drinking and being loud in the hallways all through the night. It got better throughout the week. There were all types/ages of people on this ship of 3600 passages and 1200 crew. We traveled in late March previously and that cruise had fewer college students but lots of kids. I would probably take the kids over the college students.

--Transportation: We booked transportation pre-transfer from FLL with Carnival. The service was easy to locate in the airport, fast, and took us by comfortable motor coach. An employee had a stapler for attaching the Carnival luggage tags. The port of Miami was very busy when we arrived at 1:00 PM. We waited about 30 minutes to get through security. They make you throw away disable water bottles, but they will let you hold on to an empty Nalgene bottle, which is great for shore excursions. Another guest said they were confiscating people's one bottle of wine.

--Room upon arrival: We booked an inside cabin. It was below the galley and next to the ice machine the room stewards use, so we got some preparation noises during the day from the ice machine. We didn't hear any noise from dinner preparation above us. It was small but certainly sufficient for the two of us. Our room was ready for us when we boarded. We kept our backpacks with us so we can change into swimsuits and head to the hot tub. Lido deck was packed with people getting food. We tried the Mongolian grill for lunch. It took about 5 minutes per person in line to get their food. It was good but maybe not worth the wait. There is shampoo and body wash in the shower - both smelled good. Our complimentary basket had toothpaste, breath right strips, and some antacids. (They did not supply lotion or conditioner).
