Review summary

This shorter cruise is perfect for kids and/or novice cruisers...short enough to get the taste of a cruise, long enough to give everyone lots to do! Everything went smoothly from embarkation to debarkation. Our stateroom (2401) was much larger than I anticipated with plenty of room for all four of my family members and all of our stuff. Our room steward kept our room in tip-top shape the whole cruise, which is a feat in itself with two active kids. The food, drinks, entertainment and kids' activities were plentiful and everyone had a blast! We all loved Guy's Burger Joint and the BlueIguana Cantina as alternatives to the buffet or dining room for lunch and snacks. I hope they appear on more Carnival cruise ships soon! The ports, Cozumel and Progreso, were family friendly and a perfect escape from the dreary November weather back home. All in all, we all loved this cruise and my kids are already asking when we can go again!

This room was so much bigger than I expected and easily accommodated myself, my husband and two kids (ages 13 and 8) and all our stuff. We never felt crowded and the view from the large picture window was amazing! We were down close to the water so we could see flying fish and the wake from the ship. It was centrally located, near the elevators and stairs, so we never had far to go to get to the fun. Great room!
