Review summary
We had a wonderful time on our vacation. The ship was great except for that fact that there was really one pool which was very small and always filled with kids. The ports of call were fantastic, but, unfortunately, it rained 2 out of our 3 port days. I guess you can't do anything about that. The shows were not that great. I also felt the movement of the ship so much more when eating in the main dining room this time, and I've never had that problem before on my past cruises. This was my fourth Carnival cruise, and this ship was definitely my least favorite. I did love going out of Charleston though. One thing that REALLY upset me was that I was given the first-time cruiser sail-and-sign card, and I never received my perks like a free cocktail. My word of advice would be not to get a room on the sixth floor because there is so much going on on the floor below, and we heard it EVERY morning while trying to sleep. I think 7 would be perfect. Our room and the staff were fantastic.
