Review summary

Overall the ship was just too big for me. It was very hard for me to get around the ship and the layout of the ship was so much different than all of the other carnival ships. The fun shops were scattered over three floors. On a positive note all the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Unfortunately, the bigger the ships the more walking there is likely to be

Thanks for your review. I've seen mixed opinions regarding the ship's layout, but most everyone agrees they had a wonderful cruise experience. Most of us have our favorite ship class from each cruiseline, Carnival's XL class may not be the one for you.
