Review summary

I think we must not be Carnival cruisers. The cruise was nothing short of boring, with the majority of the time spent in the middle of the ocean with nothing to see. The set up of the casino on the same deck as the shops with smoking open to the entire floor was AWFUL! The stateroom was marginal, but only ONE outlet in the entire place was a pain. Thankfully we had elected to get a room with a balcony which made it much better. The ship appeared to not be clean, and in spite of getting a flu shot, I ended up with the flu that continued into pneumonia. We will never cruise on Carnival again.

Only one outlet in the entire room (including the bathroom) required the use of extension cords which was a pain. The balcony made the room bearable, and thankfully, someone had suggested we take a fan with us, which turned out to be a great idea since the room was HOT.
