Review summary

It was pretty much what we expected form this particular cruise line/ship.  Fun passengers and crew.  Was set up very similar to other carnival ships.  The only thing that really stuck out was that there weren't any specialty restaurants.  Not that we would have dined in them but you never know.  The price of the cruise did drop $40 per person the last week before sailing.  I tried to get to refund the difference but they would not as it didn't fit their criteria for a refund.  It would have been nice for them to do something for the price change.  With that said we thought the trip was a good value.
