Review summary

This was my first experience with crusing in general and Carnival in particular.  I have to say that Carnival did a good to great job in everything I cared about.  Getting on and off was smooth and efficient.  The cabin was decently spaced and lots of storage niches.  My cabin steward was a real go-getter.  The food was good in the buffet, and better in the MDR.  The MDR's service was exceptional, and service elsewhere was very good.  The excursions I took (all booked through Carnival and performed by subcontractors) were all of high quality.  I couldn't have asked for anything more and hope I can open up my schedule to take many more cruises in the future.
