I will never do a southern carribbean cruise again unless we start farther south. Going from Cape Canavaral to Aruba in 8 days the ship has to go faster so it is rougher and windier. Not condusive to sitting in the Serentity Spa - which closed many times due to high wind conditions. I don't like sitting at the pool with 800 children so basically when the Serenitiy Spa are pools closed the others were very full.

Overall we did not like the ship as well as last years ship ( Carnival Freedom ). This one seems older, harder to get around in and yet it is layed out the same. I did not like the gym as there were too many unsupervised younger kids barreling around. I have never seen this on another ship ( and we have been on many). There was one group of kids who consistently RAN around the ship, knocking into people etc. Staff would yell at them but no one seemd to be able to catch them and return them to their parents. Not cool.I went to a yoga class - not well done at all. No warm up excercies - had us doing stuff at the beginning you normally would do after you warm up those muscle groups. Some of our party did like the running machines but said there was always alonf line up to use them.

We enjoyed the majority of the staff everywhere - our cabin people were great, the bar staff, the dining staff were amazing. The coffee bar guy was really good (although he could have used some help - he was run off his feet). We found that with a lot of the staff on this boat - always run off their feet trying to do all the work. THe front desk many times only had one person working, The poor girl working the late shift one night had to deal with a floor fulkl of people with no air conditioning ( including our room ). THey took all night to fix it but it worked and things were good. SOme of the people were very rude so I must commend her however boos to the cruise ship line for not giving her help or training her better to deal with it all. SO unfair. People had her in tears. Lines ups at the counter, 6 phone lines ringing and she did it all. Good for her. ANd she never once got mad at a client. .
