Review summary

The ship layout if VERY confusing and they place the casino in the middle of course for various reasons but you then are forced to walk through secondhand cigarette smoke! Which I find this very unhealthy, dangerous and disgusting! The crowd of people are mainly loud and obnoxious. If you want a party boat, take the Carnival. If you want something more mature and quieter, DO NOT choose Carnival! I will never sail Carnival again!

There was so much cross contamination of hands touching utensils and such that I could not eat and when I did, it was bland.

I was missing my tv remote though, but the cleaning service people found one for me.

Ship tip

Be aware that the Cheers package does not include sodas, juices or coffees. ONLY alcohol. And ONLY alcohol served at the bars. It does not include ordering drinks to your cabin!!! What a joke! I didn't even drink 15 drinks a day & it was a waste really, especially when you have to go to the bar every time you want a drink. I just wanted to chill in my room on my balcony to drink & enjoy the ocean. NOPE!
