This is a totally different ship now (2019) I'm sure. But the staff was great, the old girl was great, and the people onboard, the guests were friendly!!!

A bit slow and tedious, this was our 1st Carnival cruise, not sure if that was part of it.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Comedian was so good we bought his CD, then a buddy of mine hung out with him at the club doing shots and partied all night with him. My buddy slept in his bathroom. The comedian was hurtin bad the next day. And me? Well, I picked up where I left off with some "hair of the dog."

Children's Programs

Ummm, no kids were with us

It was great, it has since gone in to drydock for upgrades...I'm sure she's still a gem of a ship!

Ports of call

Baltimore, Maryland

We were just there to embark, but Baltimore, at least inner harbor is a nice place to visit.

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
We did a bar n grill, then a beach, then an "adult" shop...lol. It was a good night back onboard.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

4 out of 5
Wife stayed onboard, I went to casino and open air market. Casino was small, empty, and no real "play." The market was very pressured to buy something/anything.

Disembarkation

Went smoothly
