Review summary
Favorite:
•The ship with its atrium style is spectacular.
•Our balcony room was spacious with equally spacious balcony
• Crew were ALLL wonderful and they work their butts off [While we always prepay our tips, we ALWAYS throw then more, because they deserve it!]
Needs Work:
•Chef's Table: They use a space in the dining room so very difficult to hear the course 7 wine explanations. We have participated on other cruise line Chef's Table; we are are newly met friend, who said they ALAYS do the Chef's Table and rated this as the lowest, as did my wife and I.
•Carnival Cruise offers small wash / dry with and free iron / ironing board area to touch up clothes in a quick manner. On Royal Caribbean, you have to give to your cabin steward in the morning for use that evening.
* Royal Caribbean has hot dogs and NO sauerkraut.
* I love having a comedy act every night on Carnival, NOT on RC.
• We like going to the special restaurants and have no problem paying the extra fee. On RC, their steakhouse bills the extra PLUS has another extra if you want certain items. [I have NEVER seen that in the special restaurants, only in the main dining room] They do NOT do that in the Italian restaurant.
