Review summary
The ship is an absolute marvel. It was like a floating resort and every convenience was at our fingertips. I really liked the live music (Lou on guitar - fantastic guitarist), and the service was second to none. Although I gained a few pounds on the cruise ship, I would have gained weight on any vacation and I used the gym nearly every day on the ship. I feel that more time was needed at Cabo San Lucas as the stopover far too short - just a few hours when you consider disembarking and the time needed to embark. That was the only frustrating part of the trip...not enough time at some of the ports. I would however, recommend a Carnival cruise to friends and family and have already done so.Ship experiences
