Have patience when using the elevators, and look around at who was there waiting before you, just because an elevator arrives doesn’t mean you should hop right on, be courteous

Don't go. I'd either sail on a smaller, standard size ship. Or just understand that you're paying less with Carnival for a reason. Don't set expectations too high.

The only complaint i have is the elevators get quite crowded so adjust your time accordingly or take stairs. My husband and i went on Panorama last year and that ship has it down where elevators are concerned. Just make sure to plan a few extra minutes if you have any time constraints (shows, dinner reservations, ect).

It's crowded. All public venues are packed in one area of the ship. Be prepared to navigate around people in the hallways and hunt for coffee machines

Be patient on the first day. Do not let the first day overwhelm you and dictate your whole trip.

Watch YouTube walkthrough videos and make a cheat sheet of what venues are on each deck. It was a life saver

AVOID THIS SHIP! It's too big with not enough staff, entertainment horrible, Food, choices extremely limited (got to make the $$$ from covid pause somehow. All said and done...worst cruise in 35 years of cruising. Went on Holland America Line 8 monthe ago and it was wonderful. You like to save money???This is the ship...but you get what you paid for. Spend the extra few $$$ and go to NCL, RC, anything but Carnival.

I would stay in the aft close to floors 6-8. Easy access to the dining room , bbq place and 8th floor pools and hot tubs . Plus the back elevators take you right to the 16th floor buffet , shaq’s chicken , the tides pool.
