This was a great cruise, generally - I do believe that 7 day cruises are better - I also found, from my own experiences that the entertainers are probably a little better on a 7 day cruise....although they had some good shows on this cruise as well. The piano bar was slightly disappointing - but maybe it's because we had such a blast on the Pride....we were there every night.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining

Food was wonderful - drinks were great.....the servers were courteous, helpful and couldn't do enough for you.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Loved the Serenety Deck and Jacuzzi......also enjoyed the fun stuff on deck 9. I wish the sun were pointing toward our balcony because I usually enjoy sitting out there as well.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Some were really good....I found the Piano Bar a disappointment. I didn't like having to walk through the smoky casino to get there....I think the piano bar is in a bad place on that ship.....should be something more accessible instead of walking through the casino. The person playing, although he was social, did not have 'fake books' so didn't know several songs.......I have been on other Carnival Ships, especially the Pride, where the piano player had several fake books and engaged the people to step up and sing....much more engaging.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Everyone was accommodating - seemed very happy and hard workers. They tried to please and meet any needs.
Ship Quality

Again, wish you didn't have to walk through the smoky casino bar to get to the piano bar and dining rooms where there wasn't smoke. I know the elevator kind of eliminates this but you can still smell smoke....wish they had their own floor.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Was great - only problem is there was only 2 plugs.....with today's electronics and different things, wish there had been more. I know we are on a cruise and I really didn't use them that much - but they still needed to be charged, as well as toothbrushes and shavers.
Ship tip
If you go on a 4 day cruise, you really start relaxing on the 3rd day so although they are great for a short break - to truly relax, you need a 7 day cruise minimum.
