This was my first cruise and I had a great time of relaxation and unwinding. The staff were amazing,from the cabin cleaners,waiters and staff who are everywhere to help you, there was no stress.
I think that Carnival picked a great cruise director on Chris Williams,( give him a raise). I can't say enough about our dining room staff esp Eka, Soyiawan and Avil.
I would definitely come again.

The foods were first class from formal dinning to buffet and the burger stand was excellent. We enjoyed the variety offered and came away needing to loose the weight.

Entertainment
5 out of 5
Cruise Director Chris,the flying Scotsman was great, full of fun and energy. We thoroughly enjoyed the 80's rock show on 3 lobby and his show. I love listening to him speak,reminds of when my friends and I first went to the UK up to Glasgow and followed people around just to listen to them talk. Anyway we loved the 3 violinist play and made sure we were there to watch them. One of the violinist (w/glasses always stands on left when facing elevator) he was very helpful when we first got on and we were lost. He took us to another set of elevators and showed us the way to our cabin. The other shows were just as good and we enjoyed the variety. You guys did a wonderful job or putting together the entertainment. thanks Scotsman.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
A big thank you and kudos to our dinning room staff- EKA,AVIL and Soyiawan who waited on us for 6 of our dinners. They were so friendly, very patient,always served with a smile even in the most trying of circumstances. I know I would have been ready to tear my hair out by the actions of one of the guest who sat near us. You guys made our dinning experience wonderful and thank you for the happy birthday song. Josefina and I will never forget you guys.
The other staff members who we came in contact with at the buffet were also very helpful and what is great is that everyone is always smiling.
Our cabin crew was David and he kept our room clean with fresh towels and always with a new creative animal towel. We laugh and couldn't wait to see what animal will await us when we get back to the room.

Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Our room was cleaned, but stuffy and I thought I had booked a twin room,instead it was a queen bed. It was worked out,but not what I was looking for when I booked the cruise.
We took a cab which we shared and the driver gave us a tour. He was an excellent tour guide,very knowledgeable about his country's history and an excellent driver. It was the country's independence so we could get in to town,but what we saw was enough. the shopping was good too.
I was worried, because I wanted to self assist,but due to my friend who had to buy another bag,we weren't able to self assist. However, as Chris explained to us, if we followed instructions when he calls our number,we would be able to get on in a timely manner and we did. We were off the boat just after 9 and on our way to Arkansas by 9.30.
