Review summary

Ports of call were great; room was spacious; loved Amelia, the singer/guitarist and Edon of the piano bar.  They were entertaining and built a great community spirit through their shows.

 

On the other hand, the "show" with the dancing we saw was incredibly lame--reminded us of an SNL skit. 

 

Sometimes had trouble finding a chair anywhere on any of the decks. When we did find a chair, we occasionally couldn't find a server to take drink orders.

 

Loved the outdoor movies.  Food was fine--no complaints. 

 

Our room wasn't always cleaned in a timely fashion. 

 

Our favorite staff on the ship was Rowena, who took great care of us on deck and in the piano bar.  She was consistently cheerful, kind, friendly and helpful.  Give that girl something good!

Carnival likes to advertise their stage like it's Broadway. But ain't  (intended).

On one of my Behind The Fun tour, the guide said that one many things we learned was they get what can for the least amount of money can buy. Another was that those dancers that stay on board to dance will start losing their knees at an early age because they still dance during rough seas and the dancing shoes are not the best choice to dance in because they are hard to maintain their balance. 

I'm one that doesn't do these shows because I'm a late arrival for the evening meal.
