So happy to be back! Never a good thing to say after vacation. This will be our last ever Carnival cruise. Bigger is not better, in fact the total opposite on this ship. I will break down our experience for those interested, though it is similar to other posters stating a less favorable review.
Balcony Cabin, Starboard, 11267, 11th floor. Slight noise issue from pool area due to proximity to Lido Deck. This was never a problem for us. The room decor was orange and brown, three door closet system and VERY minimal drawer space. Tiny balcony with two chairs and small table. New policy is noted to all cruisers on the first day that ANY appliances like irons, curling irons, etc. will be confiscated and returned upon debarkation. I kept my flat iron well hidden :-) We sailed Princess last year and thought their room was better. small shower only bathroom.
Cabin Steward was wonderful as usual!!
Simple, understated room. We were on the 11th floor, cabin 11267, starboard side. even though we were high we did not think we could feel excess rocking of ship. Wish the balcony was larger and more storage space. Did not care for the color scheme of brown and orange...not impressed. Loved the room attendant though!
