Review summary

This was my first time cursing with Carnival. It was an ok experience. I was very frustrated that the Family bathrooms didn't have changing table for my 22 month old son. The smoke from the 5th floor casino filled the main center on all floors for the first several days. The pools were small and very crowded due to our ship being sold out. We had initially choose late dining and then tried to change it to open dining and hit road blocks every time we inquired but there were plenty of open table at early dining. The instrumental entertainment was amazing but other entertainers were ok. Dr. E was the best part of the day and made the Muster drill enjoyable and unforgettable.
