Review summary

Not sure I will cruise on Carnival again. This cruise line tends to attract large groups traveling together. These groups sometimes made it hard to maneuver around the ship. For instance on lido deck and in the buffet they would have large groups gathered around one or two small tables.

Ship tip

Eat in the main dining room as much as possible to be free of the large groups that were everywhere

Thanks for your review, when we see large groups there is always someplace to go sit and not let be a bother. They just want to enjoy themself also.

Glad you had fun but you do know other people and groups of people like to cruise also maybe your more of a all inclusive type person. Good luck.
