Creator's Key Takeaways

The midsize of the ship is genuinely a sweet spot, making it big enough to offer plenty of variety, but small enough to feel familiar.

The value for money, however, is hard to beat. Carnival consistently offers some of the most affordable fairs in the cruise industry.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Interior cabins are a good choice for budget-minded travelers who plan to spend most of their day exploring.
Book a multi-day pass for the thermal suite if you plan to use the spa regularly.
Be mindful of the all-aboard time when exploring ports independently.
