Service and Staff

4 out of 5
A few very good, some indifferent. Sent detailed comment to Carnival's survey.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Overall clean, layout in suite was OK: bedroom didn't have direct connection to bathroom, shining light to person sleeping in the living room. Room attendant appeared to be resistant to change the bed from pull-down bed to sofa bed. Wall to next cabin is very thin, not well insulated, butting against our bed headboard; fortunately neighbors cooperated when informed we could hear every single word of their conversation.

Cabin / Stateroom

See above

Ship tip

Be prepared to be in crowd, particularly in restaurants and to board/get off water shuttle. Also expect thin walls between cabins.
