Review summary

This was a great cruise, and we were looking for one over the holidays with a similar itinerary. The time we arrived and left from ports were a bit wonky, but we made it work. We had never travelled with Carnival before and there were some pluses and minuses with Carnival, but overall it was good. In fact, the room we had 1269 was the biggest we've ever stayed in, and comfortably held 2 adults, a 13 year old and a 10 year old.

A huge room - big enough for 2 adults and 2 older children.

Ship tip

You cannot enter the dining room until your whole party is in line with you... this is important to know that some of the group cannot go ahead and start eating.
