Review summary

As before, Carnival did not disappoint.  Only things wrong, missed the third pool, and the children's program (9-11) could have been a little better. Activities should have been an hour, not a half hour. Food was great and the entertainment was fabulous. The piano bar left a little to be desired, however, I don't think the pianist was that good. Staff was courteous and considerate. I noticed the other passengers (mostly from the south) were more polite than the passengers on our Baltimore cruise, just different folks, I guess. Our waiters were terrific. Once we ordered milk and it was always there after that at every meal even before we asked.

We were on same cruise. We thought dining staff was excellent. I was bummed missed the deck towel animals. Saw some pics of great big alligators.

I was disappointed in the 9-11 program too. my daughter always enjoys camp Carnival but when she moved up to that age group it was not the same.

Barry is a terrific piano player. He needs a break though because he has lost his voice.

That's great dining service! My son orders a Caesar salad no anchovies, extra dressing on the first night and after that they always ask him when we are seated if he would like "his special salad"....
