This ship is 20 years old, but in very good shape. This was my 4th cruise and I really enjoyed myself.

Cruise director and entertainment staff were fabulous. Others at our dining table who had been on numerous cruises were disappointed in our ship and entertainment options. I'd imagine that if you had been on newer, glitzier ships with ice skating, wave boarding, big shopping malls, etc., this may have been disappointing. I was not disappointed in the least. I found there to be plenty of entertainment options and the overall atmosphere very fun.

Pools are a bit small and fairly crowded, but it didn't stop my kids from taking part.

Food was generally very good, though I was disappointed in the desserts. Ice cream and pizza 24 hours a day was great and my whole family took advantage of that. Our waiter, Wayan, and assistant waiter, Ronald, were fabulous and made paper animals for my kids every evening.

I thought the nightly shows were great, and the daytime trivia, game shows, etc., were very, very fun. We went on the Disney Wonder 3 years ago and had more fun on this cruise.

Key West was a charming, quaint port and we enjoyed Ardastra Gardens in Nassau.

I would love to go on one of the newer ships, and hope to do that soon. I will definitely stick with Carnival because Carnival's got the fun -- and it's affordable!
