The serenity deck was unattainable unless you put your towel out early as people were saving them. The ship says they do not allow that, but they do nothing to rectify it. Also, kids under 21 were there and the ship crew also did nothing to correct this.
1) We were not introduced to a library (it would be nice to have some time to sit and read . . .)
2) Wi-fi / internet usage affordable
3) The ship's wi-fi purchased did not work
4) A good tip is to check the bill each night, especially the night before leaving the cruise
I don't know if there are quieter staterooms where you can actually sleep on this ship or not, but definitely don't use the Main (level 2) deck near the back of the ship. You will be hard pressed to sleep a wink. And don't worry about dining in the dining rooms at night. Disappointing service.
Don't purchase spa treatments in advance. Wait until on the ship. They always have last minute specials.
Consider purchasing a bottle of alcohol prior to your cruise, which you can consume onboard. If you wait until on the ship, any liquor purchased will be held until the end of the cruise.
Fish n chips upstairs Lido deck is awesome. Morning tacos are great opposed to lining up for 'normal' breakfast...also on Lido deck outside. Take lots of cash for excursions. There's few ATMs on shore at the destinations and the exchange rates and fees aren't great. All destinations take US $.
If you plan an excursion that is not through Carnival, allow at least two hours to be back before the ship sails. Our port departures were changed for two of our stops, which made us have to cut one of our excursions short.
The adults only section at the back of the ship is a nice retreat for pool, hot tub, bar, and food. Plenty of lounge chairs available to soak up the sun as well.
