If you are a first time cruiser and have nothing to compare this to, then you might be just happy with the cruising experience but do yourself a favour and choose another cruise line.

I've been on several cruises before - including Carnival years ago and would not suggest this line to anyone anymore. Nothing about this ship or this experience would reflect what real cruising is. The food was just okay. The lines to the buffets were crazy and unorganized. The dinning room was just sad. Dress code was never respected or enforced. The captains dinner (formal night) the captain was nowhere to be seen - nor was formal wear. The "entertainment" in the dining room was usually late when most of the passengers had finished dinner and left the dining room. The ships staterooms are dated and tacky. The muster station drill was disorganized chaos. In a real situation no one would have a clue what to do.

Leaving the ship after the cruise was insane!! So long in fact we had to race to the airport to catch our flight, even though we were amongst the group of first people off.

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin 8B

7108 Stay away from. Horrible overhang with dangling wires. Big light with more wires and public area on one side - no privacy what so ever !!
