There is a motion sensor light near the bathroom that when someone went potty in the middle of the night, it would get very bright. We covered it with a bandaid and solved that problem!

The one piece of advice I can give is you have to be patient getting to the parking lot, etc. Everyone is doing the same thing. Everyone is anxious to get on board, etc...but it's a process. You have to park your car, get your luggage, etc. Make sure you already have all of your documents printed, the Carnival Luggage tags on your luggage. We got there early enough, brought our luggage that we were going to check with one of the porters, they let you know what time the luggage will be in your rooms, etc. But BE PATIENT, people NOT THE STAFF, but people will be people, they're all anxious to get to their vacation etc. So, we wanted even that part of our trip to be stress free, and it was. So make sure you already have everything printed out, your luggage tags, etc, make even that part of your trip a wonderful experience.

It a relaxing trip

Stay on deck 7-8 as it should be away from the noise enough to get some sleep-otherwise constant banging, loud drunk people and party noises

be nice to staff because they are amazing

Being the primary pools get packed with people, the deck chairs can be hard to come by. If you go down to the outer walkway along deck 5, there are frequently open deck chairs overlooking the water.

If you don't want to be around kids running around find an adult cruise.

Get in line for tender tickets super early! And don’t book second floor aft balconies. Other than that- I loved the ship

Make full use of the Carnival Hub app, to plan everything. Additionally I recommend staying in the middle of the ship so you're able to access everything quickly.

Do not bring your swimsuits expecting to hang out in and by the pool unless you are comfortable with kid crowding, splashing, murky water and loud noise.

don't expect quality or good food

Purchase the Cheers Package if you like to drink alcoholic beverages. It's worth the cost and you'll get your money's worth.

Being in the Terrazza section, you have access to a continental breakfast in the Modo lounge. This is a very nice perk. No crowds.

There's a big freak tree that grows at the Long Beach terminal and sometimes they shake a few out before the cruise. This one had a nice batch (but everyone was well behaved) Just be ready if you go.

Check floor above you before booking room

I would tell them to try to get up early to eat and disembark.

Rooms are small so bring magnetic hooks. Kids ocean camp was amazing for my son. Expect to wait in horrendous lines to board the ship. Skip the performance shows. Not sure why they are so terrible. Performers sing out of key it all seemed a little messy on coordination or they needed more time to practice. Maybe it was satire or something? The audience didn’t seem amused.
