Review summary
This cruise was enjoyable. The Pros: Great check-in: fast friendly and easy Very clean ship The cabin was a good size and comfortable Security was evident in all areas Food was improved over previous Carnival cruises Plenty of food choices including Indian, American cuisine, a rotisserie, brunch, pizza, custom wok lunches/dinners Maitre D' was helpful in getting a table change so my group could sit together Pools and spas were plentiful Although there were a lot of people on board, there were only a few times when it felt crowded Staff are as always, polite, helpful and smiling The stops were excellent The Cons: I really miss the steel drum bands and calypso music All of the Lido deck big screen movies and some of the Lido deck DJ music was way WAY too loud There was a lot of down time when not much was going on, more activities would have been welcomed The cabin stewards seem to have more to do/more rooms to care for, although my room was always made up and clean, I rarely saw the cabin steward, which is different from previous cruises The stops were great, but a little short of time on land The biggest Con: Babies and young children in diapers were allowed in the spas and pools, no one ever asked the parents to remove the children from the waterShip experiences

Ship tip
The Lido deck main food lines are set up to start from the ends and meet in the middle, so the lines are mirror images of each other
