This was the biggest ship we have sailed on and was well worth it. We loved Guys Pig and Anchor, the Heros lounge, Emerils for breakfast. It's going to be hard to go back to smaller ships without these venues.
Crowds were well managed.
It may not be popular but Carnival really made an effort with the smoking areas. There was actually a drink station in the area and a bar!

MDR wasn't good the first night. Ate there many times after and it was excellent.
Buffet was extremely disappointing
ChiBang and the Italian restaurant were great
Breakfast: powdered eggs
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Trivial pursuit - fun as usual.
Build a bear - better than other ships. In the center stage area
Portrait appt. - Not good. They lined us up in an area with mirrors. Way too expensive
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Love and Marriage - always entertaining
Too crowded to see Voodoo nights but the people in my party who did attend said it was the best show they saw
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Our room steward always greeted us by name and kept our room clean.
Waiters were very professional and friendly
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Very clean and new.
As far as design; there were maps at every elevator and the ship was very easy to navigate. No going up and down to reach your destinations across the ship
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
The cabin was very small
Clean and new
Bed was comfortable.
Ship tip
Watch YouTube walkthrough videos and make a cheat sheet of what venues are on each deck. It was a life saver
We had two wheelchair requests for our party. It was disorganized and the wheelchairs were never provided. The terminal only has 6 elevators in the parking garage for thousands of people. Pick up areas reminded me of the Atlanta area
