We choose this ship mainly for the ports of call and knew it wasn't a new ship BUT this ship was just plain awful. This was our 3rd cruise (6 sailed total) with carnival and will be our last! For my review below, I would have stopped at customer service to discuss with them but every time I stopped the line was ridiculous, so I did not get a chance.
Ship-Overall completely outdated smells of stale cigarette smoke everywhere.
Cabin-we stayed on the 2nd floor, basic inside cabin. Whole floor smelled like mold/mildew, the smell permeated into the room. Washed all of my clothes when I got back because the smell stuck to my clothes. The a/c unit barely worked and the bed was extremely uncomfortable. We did, however, have a fantastic housekeeper!

Purchased the carnival shuttle from mco to port, good deal.
Did a beach/pool getaway. Hot but fun!
St. Thomas is awesome! Lots of shopping and its beautiful. Go to the top of the mountain (8$ taxi ride) to get a great view of the island!
Was at a private beach club. Good experience.
Did power snorkeling, awesome time, highly recommend!
