Review summary

great cruise - loved the staff and the ports. we were a bit tired from all the excursions, but how could one ignore those ports of a lifetime! we had a slight problem with lounge chairs on the days at sea and wish that more could be provided, although i got help from a supervisor when chairs were abandoned more than 45 min. we also had a slight problem - on two occasions - with the air in our cabin. there was an odor similar to paint - and we complained to guest services who claimed nothing was going on. my husband is knowledgable in this field and he thought that there was painting going on near a vent.

we sailed on the "miracle" in november and were told that the ocean suite was identical to the jr. suite - it was smaller.

Ship tip

eat less at dinner as the desserts are fabulous. go to see marilyn at the odyssey lounge for great cocktails before dinner.

Also, Manuel at Casino and our Stewart, Paulsie Aurelis and Luke at Excusions. Also Morano, Lido Deck Supervisor for all his professionalism and help with deck chairs, etc. - my hero!!!! Really loved the staff and met great passengers also - great job, Carnival !!
