Review summary
Booking this trip with Carnival was a little bit of a concern considering our only other cruise was on Princess. Due to the fact that this was a larger ship, the only negatives I would add would be the long line to embark on day 1 and waiting for tenders in Belize, both were taken easily in stride. Everything else about this cruise was absolutely wonderful. Anyone who complains about the service, accommodations or food is out of their mind. We met wonderful staff personalities that made our trip all the more memorable. Our room was always clean and the beds were so comfortable that we slept like rocks all night. I would highly recommend eating in the dining hall as much as possible, we only ate at the buffet for snacks, which was lacking when compared to Princess, but the food and presentation in the dining halls for dinner and brunch was outstanding, and we had no complaints. A great addition to spending time on the ship during at sea days was the Punchliner comedy club in which we saw 4 great comedians over the seven days. The main theater shows in the Encore theater were entertaining and all musically based which made for a fast pace and a lot of dancing. I would not hesitate to book on Carnival again after this wonderful experience.

Ship tip
Check out the Punchliner Comedy Club, we had 4 different comics over our 7 day cruise with a lot of fresh material, hilarious. Avoid the buffet and eat in the dinning rooms, much better food.
