Review summary

I am a three-star on the Holland America line and I use carnival for its distance convenience. Charleston is a great departure point and it is a disappointment that the citizens there, the elite, feel it's a burden on the city to have Cruise lines.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Two adults and two 13-year-olds were very happy with the layout. The sleeping was fine. The location of the room was excellent and the balcony was superb.

Ship tip

Be prepared for the shortage of staff. Which is not a reflection on the ship or the line. It's just a fact of life on every Cruise line.

Did you by chance drive and find a motel with park and sail where you can leave your vehicle while in the cruise?
