Review summary

We enjoyed our cruise. We have always heard that Carnival is a "party ship". It is and the people that were on the cruise to party had a great time. We were not on the cruise to party but to relax, which we did but we just had to be creative in how we did that. You can't beat the service though. There were many families on board and they seemed to be have a fabulous time. This is a great cruise to take if you want to bring children and if you want to have a fun entertaining time.

Cabin / Stateroom

Great layout and very comfortable. No noise from the Lido Marketplace right above us. The air conditioner and other items needed fixing and couldn't be fixed during the cruise. Cabin steward was amazing.
