Review summary

First of all, When we got to the Terminal,The lines were a mile long. It took us almost three hours to go through security and check in!!! Once on the Ship we were starving but had to go wright to the emergency drill. Then after that we could finally go to get lunch,but nothing open but Pizza.

Dinner service was horrible so we complained and we were seated in another section and it got much better. Shows were just ok, Comics were good!

Housekeeping was excellent!!

The specialty restaurants were delicious!!

Ports of call for this trip nothing great except Boston.

My Wife and I have been on at least 10 Carnival cruises and by far this one was the worst!

Supposedly you can have a carry on. Do most people use a small tote or full size luggage to check?
