Creator's Key Takeaways

We were both really amazed at how quickly they got us through security and how quickly they got us onto the ship.

The living room is about the size of the normal interior cabin that we usually purchase.

It's what's called a spa shower. It was just incredible.

I think the quality of the food on the buffet has been going downhill consistently in cruise lines, specifically Carnival.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Go to guest services at midnight on the last day of the cruise to avoid lines.
Visit the Blue Iguana for amazing salads.
Eat breakfast at the buffet for the incredible spread and omelettes.
Visit the Serenity Lounge if you want to get away from the kids.
Book an XL suite for access to Loft 19.
