Review summary

I wish I had more information about my stateroom before we boarded could have used a larger room with my family. We had a great time even though we arrived late in 2 of our destinations. My son especially enjoyed the waterslide on board. We had many fantastic dining experiences. The Fahrenheit 555 steakhouse was AMAZING! My second favorite spot was the Shake Spot!

A little small for 5 people I wish we had done a little more research before booking this room.

Ship tip

Shake Spot is the best place for a delicious shake (with or without alcohol) and desserts (Blue Velvet Cake!!!!)

Great advice above about adjoining cabins. Nice thing about Carnival is almost any age group can be entertained.

For future cruises you can google the ship and see each cabin category. We have been on a number of carnival ships and a lot of times with other family members and have found all balcony cabins except for the rear facing cabins and a couple in the forward area where the shape limits some cabins to all be the same size and layout. The suites are larger. Same for ocean view and most interior. Some interior are smaller with the equivalent of bunk beds. Might consider adjoining cabins with a door. If you have to pay for 4-5 people then the adjoining would not cost anymore.
