Review summary

A beautiful ship. Lots of room where you NEVER feel crowded. Such a pleasure to be able to walk the length of a Carnival ship and not have to go through the heavy smoking of the Casino. Walking through deck 5 is a joy. Nice shops, excellent eateries, the marvelous photo shop, and lounges in the rear make it so easy and fun.

Food was very good.

Staff overall were excellent.

Matt is one of the best Cruise Directors we have enjoyed in our many cruises. He truly has a fun time making sure all of the passengers are having a great time.

The entertainment was outstanding. Like the way they change the Liquid Lounge for the shows.

And, waterpark is one of the best.

Vista is Fantastic.

Ship tip

You do not have to venture to the Serenity area to have some quiet and privacy. Lots of areas on the the port side of the ship where you can sit there with your partner or solo. Read, listen to your music, or just gaze out into the ocean.
