The entertainment. The singers and dancers in the theater were excellent. Also the singers and band on deck 3 in the bar area were so good.

The food was wonderful! Always something to do. A lot going on or just relaxing by pool or even playing golf. Great adventure!

Be sure and check out the entertainment at night in bar lounge on deck 3 and also the theater. The frozen drinks are wonderful too.

I liked to look at the wares the locals were peddling, but did not like to be pressured to buy.

Not sure the entertainers but they were among the best out of all cruises I have done they rank up there. The one thing this ship does not disappoint is the entertainment.

The layout of the ship will be frustrating for the first few days until you know where you are going.

Oh understand about the non-live band, this is my 12th cruise, but I haven't been on Carnival for many years. Took this cruise because of the islands. It will be interesting to be on Carnival again.

Don't expect live music on the Lido deck by the pool. All they play is some pre-recorded stuff on the display screen by the pool. There is live music inside the ship in the atrium, casino and other venues.

Unorganized mediocre cruiseline

Ok cruise, but awful disembarkation. Doubt I use Carnival in the future because of that.

Great for our first Cruise
