Review summary

This was our first cruise since covid and it did not disappoint! Yes some things are not the same but we had an awesome time every single day. My son loved Camp Ocean and took full use of all their amenities and activities. By far the best bar on the ship was the Alchemy Bar! Annemarie, Maria, Monica, and Jess were extremely personable, professional, and just plain fun! They had great chemistry with eachother and the patrons. The drinks were phenomenal! All of the staff on board were fantastic. They were always upbeat and happy. We love Carnival plain and simple. This was my son's first cruise and needless to say he's hooked! Happy sailing everyone!

We had a cove balcony and it was wonderful. The beds were super comfy! Plenty of storage as well. The only negative was the lack of outlets but with it being an older ship it was expected and we worked around it.
