Review summary

This was a great cruise ship and ports. I always wanted to see the Coluseum and Pantheon in Rome, as well as the Parthenon in Athens. We enjoyed all the ports and one day at sea was perfect to explore the ship's activities. We were not able to enjoy pool-side movies because there were very few seats where we could actually see the screen and hear the movie. Of course those few seats were always taken. Carnival does a better job with pool-side movies.

excellent food in the main dining and buffet...didn't try specialty

I enjoyed rock climbing and mini golf, but the water slide was not running enough water...too easy to get stuck in the tube.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

beds were a little too firm, but we managed. Port hole window was much bigger than on Carnival

Ship tip

Don't book 3rd party excursion for ports with tendering. Tendering tickets are distributed early that morning...Carnival makes tickets available the night before.
