Review summary

We really enjoyed our balcony to see beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Staff were all friendly and helpful.

Was not impressed with the ship layout at all. Hard to find places because you had to go to one floor and then down to another floor to get to places. Not well designed.

There was also a problem with outlets in the room. Only on at the desk for everything--very outdated with all of today's electronics.

Will cruise again, but will check out the ship a little better before we book it.

Nothing against the cleanliness, just the design.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Plenty of room for 2 people. Wish the people around us knew how to close a door without slamming it---but that is not something Carnival can control--just rude people.

All the ships only have 1 outlet in the cabins, it's a safety issue. We always take a multi outlet cord with us.
