I'm an avid cruiser. This was my third Carnival cruise, and the shows have improved drastically from the last two I took in the early 2000s. My favorite was the rock n' roll Vroom show. We loved the curry buffet station. I never got to try the burrito buffet station, but it looked great. The dining room was ok. They had great meals about half the time - my favorites were the surf n' turf and filet mignon . We sat at our own table up top, so we didn't see any of the waiters' dancing/singing. Of course, Carnival isn't a "foodie" cruise line, but we still mostly loved the food. The gym looked remodeled and was really nice looking. It got packed on sea days, though. We really liked the assistant cruise director, too.

Overall, this was a really nice cruise.
