Creator's Key Takeaways

The room's great, but they're always working on lifeboats. The food is great, but you never get what you order or

This is a 10. Perfect experience, great food, awesome service.

I love that room. That's probably one of my favorite places on the ship, but today it was just so busy it was unusable.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓If you see a salt and pepper shaker, grab it cuz you never know what you're going to see it again.
✓If you're on a Carnival family of ship, you see something, grab it. You never know when you're going to get it again.
✓If you want a seat in the theater, especially a good seat, you have to get here early.
