Review summary

We enjoyed the trip, and have already booked a trip for next year. We look forward to sailing with Carnival again. The trip gave my husband and myself a new look on our marriage. We sat and talked about how we should have done this sooner, but with small children and financial responsibilities we just could never swing the expense. So now that our kids are in college we have a lot of time for us and this cruise really help us renew what is important in our marriage, time for our self.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

This was our first cruise so we didn't no what to expect. The window was wide so we could sit on the side of the bed and look at the water. We rally enjoyed our room even when we had a night of rough seas.
