Awesome first time. I'm have no regrets at all about choosing Carnival as my first cruise experience
Embarkation

This was me and my husband first cruise and I can honestly say it was a great one to start with.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
The food was good. The staff was very welcoming and professional but it wasn't what many people kept telling me "you can order whatever you want"
It wasn't like that at all. You can only order whatever from the menu and some of those items do cost extra. The first night we ordered steak and lobster tail and we had to pay $20 per plate. So all the food is not included at the main dinning room and room service. Room service charges extra for chicken, fries, ice cream, and soda. But the buffets and all the other all night food was free and good.

The shows was awesome. They had a Motown night (Which was awesome) The Christmas special they put together was great. I seen a few other shows which was great also. Overall the shows are a must go to.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
The service is excellent. From the time we arrive the staff was AWESOME. The staff was very welcoming and professional. The room service was fast and My room steward Marco was the best. The waiters and servers was above our expectations so I definitely give all the staff 5 stars.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Its not one area I seen that I can complain about. The ship is very clean. From the rooms to the restaurant to the eating and dinning areas. The pool sides, the public restrooms, and the decks was very clean also. Overall for the ship to be old it was very clean.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
The size was bigger than I expected. It's not a big hotel room but it's definitely a decent space. Me and my husband are use to a lot of space but we was just fine with the space no complaints at all. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable.
The private beach was cool. At this port I swim with the dolphins which was awesome.The instructor we had was cool but after they don't tell you that when you pay for your pictures you don't get pictures you get a CD. And we couldn't get a refund after we wad mislead
The dining room floor killed me though. The colors and design in it. When the ship was rocking I swear them waves on the floor was to....lol. kept getting nauseous from it. But got to the point I would grab my food and run outside with it.. lol. But I loved it
