Review summary

We all enjoyed this cruise and was happy with the ship. It was very quiet and relaxed. You won't find all the other exciting. loud entertainment that you may find on a carnival cruise as it is not geared toward young people. It just depends on what you prefer. Great staff and friendly service. Very clean, elegant ship.

Food was fantastic and dining room was very clean. Guests were not allowed to touch but very little of the food. Most was served to you to cut down on germs.
