Review summary

My first cruise with Carnival and I loved this ship! ROOM- we had a midship interior room on Deck 6. Enough room for 2 people but would be tight quarters if more. The shower was roomy with good water pressure. Lots of closet space but I would suggest bringing a few hangers from home. There was no mini fridge which was surprising. FOOD- The specialty restaurants were all very, very good. So was breakfast and dinners in the Sunset Dining Room. Guys Burgers *drool*, so delicious! My mother and I were invited to the galleys to meet with the chef and enjoyed tasting several dishes - a highlight of our trip! I was not blown away by the buffet at all, it was edible but really not many choices and if you have short arms, may find it difficult to reach items in the back. The buffet is the reason I gave 4 stars. ENTERTAINMENT- The shows in the Limelight were fantastic, especially The Rock show. Bingo was fun ( I won $150) and so was the Casino ( I won $400). The entertainment staff are fun, personable and know how to encourage people to get involved! I really enjoyed the Dive-In Movies, a lounge chair, blanket and popcorn made for a couple of enjoyable nights under the stars. We were not travelling with children so have nothing to say about the waterpark or arcade. SERENITY DECKS- I LOVED this - comfy loungers, couches, hammocks and clamshell chairs! The waterfall pool and hot tub were so nice. A long wait for elevators sometimes so a little frustrating for those who cannot just use the stairs. CRUISE DIRECTOR- I had to give Mikey his own heading because I really believe that he is single handedly the heart and soul of this ship! From the first night he engaged with everybody, dancing on the lobby bar and had the whole ship singing " We Will Rock You" by Queen. It was almost magical! ITINERARY- St. Kitts, Puerto Rico, Grand Turk and St. Marten (our excursion here was cancelled so unable to see much except the port).
