Creator's Key Takeaways

This is the oldest ship in Carnival's fleet.

I got to say, this the worst mattress I've ever felt on any cruise ship.

It's a small buffet, but it'll be fine.

Welcome aboard show's in the books and it was meh.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Bring conditioner from home as the ship does not provide it.
βœ“Check in at your muster station before getting a drink.
βœ“Expect crowded seating areas, especially on sea days.
