Review summary

The weather was very cold and windy, but the outside pool was as warm as a hot tub.  We spent all of our evening in the pool watching movies on the big screen.   The food was very delicious, but the lines were too long and everything was crowded.   

The people Carnival hires are the friendliest and most helpful people!   We only had the issue with the sky rope line operators, where the woman decided to close the course (it is was time to close) while we were in line.   She said, come back in the afternoon, but the wind was too strong in the afternoon and the course never opened.   

Most importantly, our room was just below the Japanese restaurant where the crew started preparing food at 5AM and still was cleaning up at 11:30.  It was impossible to sleep!  At one night we went upstairs to find them hammering some crab shells open that shook our whole cabin.   

Talked to many guest who had the same experience.

For your next cruise i would also suggest that you check the deck plan for the deck above and below your cabin.  you also do not want to be next to the crew passage on each deck.  

 

I'm glad you over all had a great cruise and did not let one thing ruin the cruise for you.

Next time look at the deck plans before you book.
