Review summary

This cruise was about what I expected for Carnival. Too large a ship for my tastes. All of the music played on the ship was at full volume; very annoying. I enjoy a martini before dinner with some soft dinner or classical music. Ours was loud and annoying. Believe Carnival had not provided sufficient wait staff. They did a pretty good job taking your order and serving your food; once that was done they were busy taking care of other tables and if you needed additional bread, drinks it was very hard to get their attention. The food was generally average; although I did have a great prime rib and lobster tail.

In general Carnival was catering to a young crowd interested in partying.

Good comfortable room with excellent room stewards . Only problem was TV programs from off ship volume was so low you could barely hear. Tried to get it improved, but was told the only volume control was on the TV. Mine was set to maximum which was not hear able.
