Review summary

The ship was nice. The cruse director did a great job. The entertainment was good, but a bit heavy on the Motown/Detroit side as that was featured in two of the three musical shows. Kids' area was nice with 2 water slides. Glad Guy's Burgers was added to this ship. Also enjoyed the new bbq place, although seating there was scarce. As usual, didn't see our cabin attendant much -- that experience went away long ago with automatic tipping. She did a good job keeping it cleaned and towels supplied, though. Food was the usual Carnival fare -- it's good, but if you've cruised in the last couple of years, you'll see the same menus. I'd like to see more variety. Ports: Grand Cayman and Cozumel were great. Didn't enjoy Montego Bay -- Jamaica just never seems to do it for me.

Cabin was clean and comfortable. First time with a "cove balcony." Will likely go back to regular balcony in the future -- view was not as nice.
