The ship feels a little dated in decor. The food choice was limited and buffet selection poor with limited opening times.
The entertainment was mostly piano bars with a couple of good shows in the theatre.
A good point you never queued for the lift or walked far to find a sun bed.
The debarkation was swift and smooth.
Would I cruise with carnival again, very doubtful.

It was wonderful, the ship is beautiful. The people are lovely. I love the comedy night, the Showtime, the food, the whole experience was amazing… obviously I’ve got to go to Ireland and the Isle of Man where I really wanted to go…
The only issue due to the weather was we couldn’t go to Liverpool, so we was out at sea but the whole cruise was amazing.
