Review summary
We went as a family of 5children 4-15 and six adults 35-65. I chose this cruise for the itinerary as it seemed child friendly and the Carnival line as it caters to children. I have to say that we all had a great time despite it being Spring Break busy. The best part for me was being able to have dinner together each night. Our wait staff in the dining room were absolutely amazing. Yasa, Arya and Muryana(sp) were incredibly patient and kind with the children and went out of their way to make dinner each night a special experience. My husband and I have cruised frequently on celebrity and were not sure how the menu would compare. The quality of the food and menu options in the dining room was as good as we have ever had and loved that they had a kids menu option. We were in a Spa room and loved the convenience of the location and enjoyed the spa options. The bed was the most comfortable we have experienced. The bedding ie. duvet covers and sheets did seem a little worn. One of the sheets had a tear in it and their were visible stains. This did not detract from the vacation but just a suggestion to perhaps retire some of the linen. We all had drink packages and felt they were worth the additional cost. Appreciated that the package included premium brands as you pay extra for this on other cruise lines. Over all it was a great vacation.
