Review summary

I have been on over 40 or more cruises and almost diamond on Carnival. Carnival does a wonderful job, and we always have a great time with the family. For myself, I think I enjoy the bigger ships with more selections on food and entertainment, etc. I would definitely choose Carnival over Royal, NCL and Princess any day.

Ship was older so problems in the room, closet door would not shut and they never fixed it. the bathroom lights sometimes would not work, it was very hot in room at night.
