@starbud99 The room was great! Good views and close enough to the lido action without the noise affecting your down time. We always try to stay in this area on each cruise, haven’t been disappointed yet!

Hi! We will be in this room on Sept 30th... I was just offered an upgrade to a suite, but I was thinking this room might be better. Do you have any comments about the view from the balcony? If we are in the room we are on the balcony... lol Thanks in advance!

Our family was on this same cruise. We too had an awesome time. Been on 26 sailing on Carnival and never had a bad cruise. I just love to cruise.
