Review summary

Our first Carnival Cruise, unfortunately all things being equal I will go back to Norwegian- for us a better overall experience. Carnival ran out of several supplies on day one and some more on day three, some of the bars didn't carry all the drinks you had to go around to different bars/lounges to get your preferred drink in some cases. No real reception as you entered the ship, sub par send off party and any other party for that matter-- Probably due to the fact that this was an Alaskan Cruise and not a tropical warm weather location. The sites and views were amazing, I took over 1200 pictures.

Ship tip

We liked the Serenity area (the adult only) area on deck 9, Guy Fieri's burgers were good, enjoyed the staff at the red frog rum bar on deck 9. Didnt like that you had to go through the smoky casino to get to the sportbar and red frog lounge.
