Carnival is a good line. I'll do it again maybe not Eastern but either Southern or Hawaii to change things up. The Ships crew is excellent and the dinners were great. I was not impressed with Guy's burger joint. Tried it the first day I was on the boat and the burger was very dry. The taco / burrito bar was really good.
Embarkation

Excellent, lines kept moving.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
Restaurant Dinner was really good, buffet and breakfasts not impressed. My biggest complaint is forcing all stateroom users to buy the drink package. Wife maybe drinks 1 or 2 a day so package is worthless. They don't trust me to buy drinks for my wife if I have the drink package.

Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The crew kept the ship sparkling clean. Design could be a bit better forcing you to traverse levels at times if you are trying to move from forward to aft and you are on the wrong floor.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Overall excellent, Shower could be a bit bigger and a footrest in the shower would be very handy.
Loved the snorkeling and swimming with the dolphins. Diamonds International was more hype than reality. A lot of talk about great prices but wasn't impressed.
Again lines flowed nicely. Our custom agent was professional and nice. If at all possible do not book your plane for an early flight. Removes a lot of stress.
But if u buy the drink package everyone in the same cabin has to purchase it too. Only one person in the cabin cant get it alone. That is stated in the rules.
