Review summary

It was a really fun ship with a lot of great activities- the cruise director Mike and the fun squadwas high energy and added a lot of fun! My kids weren’t fans of the kids club and only went twice. My main problem was my cabin and I want to warn people who are paying for the Family Harbor Suites to carefully check the location of your cabin - I was in 2431 and it was ridiculously noisy due to it being under the galley - loud banging and crashing throughout the night and day - my kids asked if the ship was sinking - no rooms should be in this location - there are 6-8 rooms affected by this - disappointed in Carnival that they are not upfront with this issue

Ship tip

I learned the hard way to check what is above your cabin - we spent $$$ for a suite and it was below the galley - ridiculously loud - sounded like large metal appliances crashing throughout the night- Carnival knows this is a problem and still books these rooms at full price- I wish Cheap Cruises would have warned us when we booked too
