Review summary

I found the cruise to be about what I expected.  The food in the evening dining room was excellent.  The buffet food wasn't good at all.  Camp Carnival, which is the main reason we sail Carnival, wasn't good on this ship. The location of the 10 - 12 year old group was in a huge, empty room.  My kids barely went there at all.  The weather turned out to be bad, and we were not able to go to the Private Island, which was certainly not Carnival's fault, but it is still disappointing.

 

The Thanksgiving meal was still turkey and dressing, and it was a fun trip.
