Review summary

It was a very nice and clean ship. The entertainment was lively and fun. The food was more of a " fast food" theme, and the same food daily. I wasn't too impressed with all the " hidden" charges at the end of the cruise, cleaning fees, taxes on complimentary drinks.etc. The staff was very friendly. I would definitely try a different cruise line just to see how they compare to Carnival.

Windows don't open in staterooms on any ship.  I suggest you get a balcony room if you want fresh air in your room.  Even then, they suggest that you keep the doors closed when not in use to cut down on A/C or heating bills. 

What didn't you like about the entertainment?  Was it the shows that you didn't like or the lounge acts?  Gloria
