Review summary

If cruising with a a family with kids above 7, check out the activities onboard. Carnival should offer activities up to midnight at no charge because there are several adult activities to do. For 2 kids, I would pay $15/hr each night over what I already paid for the cruise. Also, Carnival should re-evaluate their actual activities and time they do paid for activities (early evening). Ship size is almost too big as far as waiting in buffet lines, chairs by pool, waiting to get on and off ship at ports. We waited 1 and 1/2 hours in hot afternoon sun in line in Cayman islands to get back on ship. RIDICULOUS! Why are there no garbage cans in the commom areaa of the ship. Very iritating to have to go into a stinky bathroom every time you need to throw something away. The decor of the ship is OK but it make the ship look older than it actually is and kind of on the dark side. I would give the ship a "C" grade but will look into other options next time.
