We go on a cruise every year. We picked this cruise because it only had one sea day. We had one of the rooms with floor to ceiling windows on the 9th floor. The 9th floor is the perfect location. However, every day around 530am a loud noise exists which is rediculous and lasted a couple minutes. I think it's the opening if the blinds in the floor above. This ship had the worst entertainment we have seen thus far. Every single show was some sort of musical. Very limited. We are vegetarians and they had very limited almost non existent options. The dining room had very good Indian vegetarian option though. The ports were naturally amazing. They had very good movies at the outside screen. The ship never seemed crowded which is a very good thing. The water slide allowed for use for smaller kids and they had nice doctor suess activities. This ship had more to do for kids than I was expecting. Very nice. Disembarkation was the longest I have ever been involved with by far, but I don't hold that against carnival.
In end, I think we will stick with Royal Caribbean. Don't get me wrong as the cruise was amazing any cruise would be amazing. The two main negatives were shows and lack of vegetarian food at the buffet.
