Creator's Key Takeaways

I never been a fan of Carnival Cruise Line, you know, but probably this time, which is I'm surprised it's older ship, but they surprised me a lot

I love the food. You know what I mean? I love the food. Everything that I ate guys in the morning, what I ate at lunch, what I ate in the afternoon, what I ate at night, everything was straight.

The service was above and beyond. And honestly, this service I appreciate it and it a lot.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Experience Carnival for yourself instead of listening to others' opinions.
If you have a young child, take advantage of the kids' club programs.
Be prepared for potential sewer smells on older ships.
