Review summary

We really enjoyed the trip and the new ship. I don't like the fact that Carnival has done away with self service laundry on these new ships. We have lots of workout clothes and it has to be washed. The 5 bags for $50 is what we used but the bags are very small and more costly than using self serve laundry. The ship is big enough to have this service. We are not Platinum/Diamond so we have to pay it.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Embarkation was fine but traffic to the port was terrible. Tunnel was closed for awhile until they finally opened it.

Ship Quality

Layout was great and looked really clean

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

The room was really small. It's really only suitable for 2 people. The bathroom was tiny too. 2 shelves for 4 people doesn't cut it. No, I didn't like the room.
