I think most people would really enjoy this cruise. My husband
had no interest what so ever in going and he was real happy he decided to
accompany me. The service is some of the best I have ever encountered
considering the large number of passengers.
We enjoyed the casualness of the whole cruise even in the
dining rooms, the only stipulation was no shorts during the dinner hour.
Many people wore blue jeans or khakis for dinner with the exception of the
two "dress up nights". I don't believe we found any area that we disliked
on the boat. The promenade was very nice. We didn't use the pool as they
were salt water pools which I don't really care for.
Overall the food presentation and quality was good. The
dining room service was excellent. Believe me you will not go hungry on
this cruise. We didn't indulge in any buffets as we always ate far too much
during the day!
Our cabin was good and the shower was great! Always plenty of hot
water. We really didn't spend much time in our cabin other than to sleep.
Loads of space and we have absolutely no complaint about noise. This was
our first cruise and if I were to go on this cruise again I would book a
lower category of cabin and save some money.
We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of entertainment.
We really were no expecting the level of performance that we were treated
to.
The one thing that my husband and I were both dissatisfied with
were the shore excursions. They were unexciting and overpriced. I would
recommend forgoing the available excursions and doing your own exploring.
As well, there is a demonstration for snorkeling followed by a deal to rent
snorkeling gear. Make sure you read all the shore excursion details before
you rent the gear because most excursions already include your snorkeling
gear.
It seems that everyone travels with Carnival, it is a great family
type ship. We met some very nice people on the ship who we do intend upon
staying in contact with, perhaps even to cruise together again!!
