I went on this cruise with my boyfriend and we both loved it. The embarkation was fast and easy and we were on the ship eating lunch in no time. Our room steward was very friendly and called us by name the whole cruise. Also, we got towel animals every night. I'm not sure if they do this on all Carnival ships, but our first two cruises we only got them every other night. It REALLY doesn't matter I guess, I was just tickled pink to have them every night though.

Our cabin was 7440, a balcony cabin towards the back of the ship on the port side (deck 7). We LOVED this room. We've been unfortunate enough to have booked both of our previous cruises in very noisy rooms. I researched this area of the ship before booking so I didn't make that mistake again ;) It was quiet and the balcony, too, was quiet. Since we were towards the back of the ship, we had the ocean directly below our balcony. If we would have picked a cabin closer to the middle of the ship, we would've had deck 5 right below our balcony with people walking around. We even walked around deck 5 to see we could see everyone out on their balconies, we did. This might not bother some people, but we like our privacy :).

The food was wonderful. The salads, the quesadillas, the pizza and deserts. *wipes tear* all so good. The ship had a grill that served food on sea days in the middle of deck 5 (I believe the area was called the Lanai) it served nachos, quesodillas, sliders, bratwursts and more. Most of the food was good, except the sliders. They had chewy tendon-like "stuff" in the meat, but it was the only thing on the whole ship that I didn't like. We never did eat dinner in the dinning room, so I can't comment on the food there. However, our muster station was in the crimson dinning room and I can say it was lovely, hehe. Read more
