Review summary

Most of the cruise was great. However I did feel like some corners were cut. But I’m also taking into consideration the amount of people that were on the ship. I will honestly say I didn’t feel that the normal love and care that carnival has had (in my experience) was on this boat. There was no “wow” factor for me when we boarded. I really enjoyed boarding a ship and being greeted by a nice beautiful atrium! This boat didn’t have that. Sure it was big but there wasn’t one big wow factor. But overall I was very satisfied and this will never stop me from cruising carnival.
