So many good options on the ship! Only ate in the main dining room twice. Dining room meals took a long time servers were very busy.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Great staff but some were very busy. Dining room waiters had a lot of tapped each night. Cabin steward was great and gave us ice everyday without us even having to ask.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Took me a few days to get the hang of the layout very different form other carnival ships. Some areas were very crowded while others were completely empty.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Our spa interior was all the way forward so we were very close to the spa. Room was decent size but the bathroom was tiny with exception to the shower which was very spacious.
