I've been on some other cruise lines that we loved and even another Carnival ship that we were not impressed with, but this ship and staff...exceeded our expectations. Enjoyed the trip and am looking forward to another sailing on this ship.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Dined in the main dining area 3 evenings and enjoyed the meals. Decided to do the Lido buffet a couple of nights for dinner. Enjoyed "Cucina" for lunch and it was delicious. The pizza from Pizza Pirate was always great. My husband loved the soft serve ice cream...often! Pig and Anchor had great bbq. My family enjoyed Guys Burgers. I didn't get to enjoy it because I preferred a turkey burger option, but there wasn't one. The restaurant serving the tacos and burritos was super and fresh. Looking forward to trying the Seafood Shack and the Sushi restaurant on a return visit.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
There was so much to do all of the time...and I still didn't get to do it all. MarQ the Cruise Director was so much fun. He made the parties and shows fun. He even made the disembarkation information session interesting. Lots of energy. Loved karaoke, the Violin Trio and the young group that played in the Ocean Plaza! Loved the trivia games!
Entertainment
3 out of 5
The shows were entertaining and I am hoping they do a little more work on timing and really hitting those notes.
The DJs were amazing. They really kept the parties going!

Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Balcony Cabin very clean and roomy enough for 3 people. Plenty of closet space and shelving.
One item I did not share in my review...we were assigned to the Blush Restaurant. I am hoping the chairs get a refresh. They are cloth and show stains. Perhaps it will be addressed during a drydock.
