Review summary

First, realize that you are going on a smaller, older ship and as a result you shouldn't expect all the amenities of others in the fleet. This was our first Carnival cruise, but we have cruised quite a few times. The stateroom attendant was great. Kept the room tidy, brought us ice, even gave me a couple of coupons for my birthday. The food was good, not the best I've had but very reasonable. Our waitstaff was great, we had fixed dining. Entertainment was good for being a smaller ship. The cast had talent and was entertaining. Our grandkids enjoyed it. The comedians were good too.

The best part of a cruise is when the staff is friendly, attentive and happy. Dee was a great cruise director, cabin and dining staff were friendly and helpful.

This is our first time with a oceanview cabin. We usually do balconies. I thought the room was fine, the window was larger than we expected. We missed not having a couch or comfy chair in the room. The storage was excellent, the bathroom was of good size for a ship.
