Review summary

Very nice ship in great condition. We booked on short notice and wanted a suite. The counselor from Alaska advised we should not select a suite and take the cheaper "guaranteed suite" option. We saved a few hundred dollars and ended up getting upgraded to a penthouse suite! It was quite a treat. Staff overall was wonderful. Prompt, nice, very helpful. Food was very good. Definately eat more meals in the dining room than the buffet upstairs. Buffet was not bad, but often very crowded and kinda crazy. Breakfast and lunch in the dining room were quick and much better. Our only minor recommendation is that the shore excursions could be better organized. We did one in each port. Each time we met in a lounge before leaving and the staff there did not brief us at all on the events (how we get off, where we go, when we would be back, etc.). Everyone just ended up going like a heard. In the end it was O.K., but many people mentioned they would expect Carnival (since it was there excursion) to give some type of quick briefing while people waited. Minor issue on an otherwise wonderful experience. Shore excursions were all worth it.
