Carnival lives up to its claim of being the party cruise line! The cruise director, Rainier did a fantastic job of getting the party started every single time.
The staterooms and bathrooms are a little dated, but the lounge on the family floor was fantastic, so convenient to have food and rinks right there.
The dining room unfortunately was a bit hit and miss. It was always quiet and freezing cold. Service was OK, but never outstanding, The portions are small and the food never very hot. Guys Burgers and Iguana Tacos are excellent. There are also some good choices in the Lido, although the food was pretty repetitive.
The staff are generally friendly and helpful.
