Review summary

A lot to do on a mid size ship!  Only thing missing is a rock wall, which they should put up in place of the basketball court overrun by rude teens.  The sport area really needs better supervision to keep the teens off the pool tables and just lounging around being disrespectful.  The water slides are really nice and higher than expected and fast!  The adult serenity area is really big and one of the nicest at sea.  But, the rooms are so tiny!  The shop is showing its old age everywhere and it does smell in different areas as many people note.  The capacity for passengers really needs to be lowered.  Lines are too long and not enough seating for buffet.  The line for guest services is ridiculously long all day!  Leigh is really great as the Cruise Director, Room steward was awesome, but dining waiters over extended.  Extremely dissapijnted Carnival did away with the free lobster, that was a staple of cruising! Nice ship for kids and those wanting lots to do and not worried about quality.  Our third Cruise line, but we will not Cruise with Carnival again or even suggest it unless you need a cheap getaway.
