Review summary

No improvement needed. What is not to love!!! It is a wonderful way to travel, see all kinds of ports along the way and never lift a finger. There is no better vacation than a cruise. The only thing I would do different next time is book a balcony cabin. We've never done that and would love that feature. But as far as service a cruise can't be beat!!!

We had a balcony our first cruise, heading out on number 2 on April 15th! Love the balcony! Well with the funds! Carnival is an awesome cruise line! They have my vote!!!!

I've done interior I've done Ocean View and once my wife saw a balcony room, even before we had one she wanted it non-stop so all the other Cruises have been balcony rooms. Personally I do enjoy it but I don't think it's worth the extra money because we're never in the room , however it is great to wake up and sit on the balcony it's sort of a win- lose type of situation. if I'm worried about the money I wouldn't get it but I do enjoy it once I have it . but I stay with one now because my wife likes it and it makes her happy and that's all that matters.

once me in the wife went on our first cruise we decided that we were cruises for life. it's like four or five vacations at once with way less work just all the fun. We love it love it love it

we're leaving in 6 days and booked our first Balcony this time! We've done interior and OV... I don't mind OV but never again will I get interior, I hated never having natural light in my room, not knowing if we're at port unless I turned the TV deck cam on lol. but

We love the balcony. Got it on our 1st cruise and now again for our 2nd. So nice to wake up and sit outside.

Short cruises don't both with balcony, we didn't use ours enough for the cost. But a 7-day! Get it! It's gorgeous

I'm glad someone finally got it right. I get so tired of hearing people gripe and complain about Carnival. We have been on 8 cruises with Carnival and not once had a bad one. Thanks for the good remarks. I don't work for Carnival , but am a loyal cruiser.

I've been on 7 or 8 cruises @ April 1 will be the first time with a balcony. We booked a cloud 9 spa room. I'm counting down the days!!!

Definitely balcony is the way to go. Ever since I tried an inside cabin my husband swore nothing but balconies

Once we had a balcony, we never went back. Love looking at the sunrise and sunset from our balconies.

Thanks for the info. We are sailing on the Magic April 1. We booked inside this time. We have done both balcony and OV and we never used either so we are doing the cheap seats this time to see if having a view from the room is really worth it. We just spend so little time in the room unless we're sleeping!
