We were really thrilled with this new ship. This was my 17th cruise, so I know a little of what to expect. Embarkation was TERRIBLE. We arrived in Florida at 12pm and did not get to our room before 4:30 and the airport was only a ten minute ride away from the port. Disembarkation was much better. It was the first time I have ever gotten off a ship at 6 am. The food offered in room service could use a little tweaking as the variety was not very big. We had problems with our air conditioner and the workman only showed up at 10:30 pm after we were in our pjs and watching a movie. The outdoor theater is super. We were comfortable under blankets under the stars. A great experience. I will not hesitate to go on this ship again.
This was my 17th cruise, my 5th with Carnival. Even though this was just a one week cruise we had a peaceful and restful cruise which is just what we wanted. We were upgraded to an outside room which was spacious. On other cruiselines where we had an outside or balcony room, their size was no comparison. We ate upstairs in Rosie's for most meals and never tired of the variety. The room service menu could use a little updating. I would recommend this ship to everyone. It is a great value for the bucks. We will definitely go on this ship again. A+ to Carnival.
