Review summary
This cruise was during the Swine Flue out break in Mexico so on the 4 night we had two sea days and one day in Catalina island. Since it only made the one stop the price was so low it did not pay to stay at home. I figured for this price what the heck I'll finally break down and try Carnival. Going with low expectations made everything so much more then what I had expected. Boarding was quick and we were on the ship before we knew it. Food in the MDR was great, service was great also. The extra sea days made the trip very relaxing to enjoy the pool. The ship is older and still one of the Las Vegas tacky decor ships. but that kind of adds to the overall fun of not having to dress up or be formal. This trip was good enough that I will do Carnival again.
