This was my second cruise with Carnival and my daughter's (12) first one. She LOVED the Circle C activities and met many friends, leaving me to enjoy the ship! I know now why it's the "Fun Ship". The Comedy Club and the Stripes disco are fun! I also liked the trivia games. I'm not the type to sit by the pool, so I didn't visit often, but had a good experience when I did. Both bars had excellent bar tenders. We also enjoyed the slides at the WaterWorks! I didn't go out on the Serenity deck very much, but it was nice when I did.
I heard many complaints about food, noise, kids, etc. My daughter and I don't travel often, so this was a treat for us. The staff were very kind to both of us and we found them hard-working and always smiling. I can't complain when I don't have to cook, clean, etc at home and they're doing that for me! The dining room staff is wonderful! Francis from the comedy club is a great guy as well!
Benjamin Lambert is the best cruise director ever!
Easier embarkation than expected!
