Review summary

Staying in the air conditioning area's of the ship.  Shops were nice.  Found some nice souveniers.  Food was good in the dining area.  Did not like the location of our room though.  Heard the theater underneath us and the vibration of the music.  It was nice and quiet as we slept though.  The humidity of the trip was awful.  We aren't used to that as we are from California.  I hadn't sweat like that in my entire life.  It rained one day but that was ok until I walked out on deck and my glasses fogged up.  Felt like a sauna.  Did not swim or take in any shows.  Overall the trip was nice.  Met a nice couple on our dining times.

Sachin was very patience with me in the jewelry store. Pande did a great job in housekeeping. Our waiter was really funny in the dining room. Basically everyone was great and very friendly

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Did't like the location of our room. We were over the theater and heard music, pounding and vibration while the shows were going on. OK at night time though.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Room was fine and roomy. Loved the balcony. Did not like the location as it was above the theater and got vibration from the music. Could even hear the words being sung. It was kept clean and stocked.

Ship tip

Do not book a room above the theater. If so, these rooms should be discounted or half price. Bring an umbrella or poncho or rain coat.

Seems likes all her ratings are low because of the humidity. Really???

You could have researched your stateroom before you booked your cruise. It is not fair to only give 3 stars for things that are not Carnival's fault!!!

Tropical areas are humid. I thought that was common knowledge. What was the reason for not seeing any shows? Just not your thing or what?

Did you only give 3 stars due to the humidity? Carnival can't control that.
