Review summary
oceanview room was spacious and king bed was great. big shower and plenty of closet & drawers. food was very good, (lobster nite, prime rib, steaks, steak & egg breakfast etc in dining room). dance and singing shows were good, piano bar sing along was great and comics were okay. had to get in line early to get a seat at some shows. buffet food and special lunch food (italian/stir fry) were good and taco/burgers also. would have liked more ship activity for days at sea. more 50+ passengers than expected on carnival. few children and they had activities/area separate so noise was not bad. 8 day cruise may have made a difference here... casino games all seem to have gimmics and are not standard vegas style except crap table. drink package cost $920 per couple and is not worth it. all drinks are very costly. $5 beer is cheapest and a shame when you can get a beer off boat for $1. they need a modified drink package that you can enjoy. excursions are very expensive and minimal assistance for island info except to take a excursion. cruise price is cheap but they get you big time for drinks and excursions. overall, not bad.

Ship tip
hard to get from front to back. rooms were great. drinks are outrageous. with the cost of booze so low it seems a shame they charge so much. if you buy liquor, verify you get the right stuff. we got wrong bottles delivered and did not check while on board the ship.
