9 days was perfect - I really like the first day at sea, then a stop, another day at sea, then several days of stops and ending with 2 days at sea before returning home.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Being a gold member - I would have thought that being a member would have afforded a quicker embarkation process.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Our waitress Deandra was excellent. Garret who was still learning - definitely learned quite a bit by the end of the cruise.
Boleros Lounge
3 out of 5
It was great until the band came in and then too loud to have a conversation.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
The shops were lacking and the prices were much more expensive than previous ships. The wave pool was cool.
Solarium
4 out of 5
This would have been better if you could find seats.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
The gentleman guitar player and singer in Two Poets was excellent.
Royal Theater
3 out of 5
The late night comedian was very good. The shows were average. Believe or not, Carnival has better shows.

Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
The bed was too hard and no matter how many mattress foams they put on it, it still wasn't comfortable. The a/c wasn't cooling enough and we had to keep balcony door open just to be cooler and try and sleep. This by far was the worst sleeping I have ever done on a cruise. If I got 2 hours of sleep a night, I was lucky.
Ship tip
Make sure you get a room with comfortable bed and a/c that works correctly.
