This was my 10th cruise with Carnival, while I had a good time there are many things that I didn't like. But first the things I did like. Having V.I.P status for getting on the ship was great, no wait right on boat was a home run. Getting off was just as great.Some of the things i didn't like was that I noticed in main dinning room there was less staff, I hardly got to know my wait staff (on other carnival ships this was not the case) it seems like they were so busy they really didn't have time to get to know you. I would suggest the early seating in the dinning rooms. I have read in many reviews that people were unhappy (and rightfully so)that at the late seating they always had to wait to get into dinning room. This is NOT the staffs fault, dinner starts at 6pm and I cant tell you how many tables around us didn't show up till 6:45 -7pm You can not blame the staff for stupid and RUDE people. The food was good but not always hot, and the fried chicken was just nasty. They have definitely cut back of staff in dinning room so it was not the great dinner that it usually is. Lines at the buffets were longer then I had seen in past. The sports bar is a JOKE ! you would think that with all the new tech in the world that a sports bar could show more then just ESPN. Are they kidding that they cant have MLB sports package. The casino is another JOKE, tell me if this makes any sense. If you play the slots you can hit a point on your players card where you drink for free, but if you are playing blackjack for $10 a hand for hours each night you get zero, that makes no sense. Having breakfast in main dinning room was also bad, waiters were crappy and not very attentive at all
