Review summary

I think Carnival was only concerned with capacity when purchasing this ship , and felt that if there was a fire , or any other emergency onboard it would ensue major chaos due to the poorly designed layout! I felt uneasy due to the layout!

I found the ship to be spacious with plenty of walking room and only crowded in popular areas at peak times . Also , not a maze like the smaller ships .

I think it's the same layout as Celebration. If so, We did not see any issues with the layout as you say.

It’s the most open deck plan carnival has. If anything this is their easiest laid out ship to navigate.
