Review summary
Embarkation was fairly fast and easy although the traffic at the port was a nightmare. Booked an accessible cabin (8304), which was NOT accessible to say the least. It was no larger than a standard inside cabin and with the beds together, you had to climb into the bed from the foot, no room to walk along side. Our shower leaked water into the cabin and soaked the carpet. Maintenance came and worked on it twice but it still leaked ALOT. Also this cabin is extremely noisy as the housekeeping closet is next door. This ship needs updated stabilizers as it rocked and rolled alot the entire cruise causing even some of the shows to be altered or cancelled for the safety of the dancers. The Serenity decks were very nice. We enjoyed the ports of call, in Aruba we took Mi Dushi snorkle and sunset tour and loved it. Grand Turk was our favorite with a beautiful free public beach right next to the ship's pier. Debarkation was slow but ok. We will probably not do Carnival again. We prefer Royal Caribbean.
