This was a great cruise! My husband and I brought his brother and sister-in-law, and my sister along on this cruise. My husband and I have traveled many times on Carnival, but this was the first time for the others. A lot of memories were made on this trip!
Our balcony staterooms were fantastic, and we were all able to be within a couple of doors from each other, so very convenient for meeting up with each other when getting together for dinner, or going to the pool, entertainment, etc...
The music was great and we enjoined participating in the line dances with the staff!
Dinners were amazing, as our head waitress was very personable and was always excited for our return to her table.
Also, we enjoyed the entertainment in the Encore theater, which was very versatile; song and dance productions, country music production, and comedy and juggling!
Can't wait to go again!

Food and Dining

We had our brother and sister-in-law and sister traveling with us and enjoyed the "anytime dining" during our cruise. We ate in the Crimson Dining room and sat at a table with 'Myra' , who was our head waitress, from the Philippines, and her crew, who were ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!! My husband and I have been on many cruises and Myra will stay in our memmories forever! She was very personable, and always soooo excited to see us each night; greeting us with hugs and a big smile!! We truly felt like we were her only customers!! and of course, the nights of the whole crew dancing in the Crimson Dining Room were so special; she would come and get us to dance with her and the rest of her crew!! Soooo much fun! We couldn't wait to come to dinner each night! We can't wait to get on another cruise and hopefully see her again! Thank you!

Entertainment

We've been on many Carnival Cruises and enjoyed the evening entertainment in the Encore. We were surprised to see that this time, there was, instead of a song and dance show, there was a whole show of a comedy, juggling act!! We had previously been on a different cruise line, just to try it out, and one of the things we liked about that one, was the fact that each night in their main entertainment lounge, there was something different; song and dance, juggling show, comedy, etc...so, great improvement on the Carnival entertainment !

This was the first time we had ever booked a balcony on the 11th Deck, so were a little leary about it, especially because it was also at the front of the ship....However, we were pleasantly surprised to see that we had a very comfortable ride! So, thank you for that!
