Review summary
In gereral it was well worth the money (got a last minute deal). There were a lot of travel agents and special rate people on the cruise. Also I understood that it was only at 70% capacity (and still crowded). Few kids on this boat, and a lot of experienced cruisers. Food outside the main dinning rooms was only fair; feeding was 24 hours and a line all the time. Excursion were good and diversed. Entertainment was very mixed; many great shows, some very poor artists (the jazz band sounded and looked like a few college kids getting together for the first time and trying to jam together).Ship experiences

Ports of call
Pros: ship was well maintained and of good size. big event entertainment was great; small shows were below par. Food had its better moments; snacks were good.
Cons: Carnival knows their cruisers; they do an excellent job where it counts (main shows, main dinning room food) and skims on other areas (breakfast, bar room entertainment). The pools were too small and were like stew pots with bodies wall to wall. Drinks are circulated about and pushed.
