A pretty good cruise - not our best cruise but certainly not the worst.

Parking at Norfolk is not good for getting to the port. You have tyo take a shuttle becasue you park about a mile from the port.

Cabin / Stateroom

Our only problems were that the air conditioning was not that great and we had no WiFi which was necessary to use the Carnival app, which is needed for EVERYTHING

The Carnival app was horrible and WiFi was spotty around the ship.
