Review summary
From parking in handicap area till exiting the ship we were treated kindly, with friendly professional staff. Monica and another young male wheeled my 87 year old mom and me who had a fractured ankle from entrance to terminal to our room on embarkment which took over an hour due to a missing document. They were wonderful happy people and kept my mom calm. Our cabin was fantastic...steps from the elevator and customer service area on the Empress deck 7. It accomadated the mobility scooter I rented and that was a life savior for me. Mid trip there was an issue with scooter handle and special needs company and a Carnival superwoman were able to fix in about an hour. Best investment ever if you want to enjoy the views and have mobility issues.
The evening shows were high energy and may have been too much for my mom. We stayed on the ship during the half moon port and enjoyed spa services getting hair done and I had gel nails with French manicure. Excellent application.

Ship tip
Be sure to choose early or late dining. You can always skip a dinner one night if you want a change. Fine dining with staff and perhaps fellow travellers you get to know has always been one of the best experiences when cruising for us.
