Every staff member I came into contact with was very friendly. I especially liked Eva, she made my omelet every morning. The chefs in the steakhouse were fantastic.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Layout and design is the same as the Dream, very easy to maneuver through out the ship. Very clean as usual. Carnival does a great job on keeping the ship clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

Same as always, very accommodating

Ship tip

You must do the behind the scenes tour, you really learn a lot about the inter workings of the ship, plus meeting the captain on the bridge is just super fantastic.
