This is our first time doing a cruise so we chose a short cruise. I think this is more for younger, party going crowd because of the destination. I commend the impecable service that the crew has shown, they are very friendly and helpful. The sit down food is very good. My son loved the carnival camp. The shows and entertainment was very good too.

The ship does need some upgrade on the decor. The pool was too crowded so I did not even get to use the pool. I am saying this is more of a partying drinking crowd. If you're planning to have a quiet family oriented ship, I don't think this is the one for you.

You didn't state which cruise you were on;but the 3-day weekend cruises are definitely party cruises. The 4-day midweek cruises are less enthusiastic. 😎

The crowd on the midweek catalina/ensenada cruise seemed to be 30-60 years old. Only seemed to be a lot of party on the lido deck on the night we set sail, and on fun day at sea. (yes we participated). I was a little dismayed about the 21+ serenity deck, which i think a lot of 21 year olds took to mean open party bar. But....now I know. It was an awesome cruise.
