Repositioning from Vancouver to LA Sept 14th. I'm sure there are many people that were upset by circumstances about our departure which was delayed. This was well explained by the Captain, the tender for refuel had spilled causing the delay. That noted the staff and crew did everything to accommodate the passengers due to the delay getting into LA. We found all the activities available were excellent and enjoyed the cruise in it's entirety. Unlike the poor Holland cruise we had, Carnival cruise line does much better with Princess cruise line for attention to the customer.
Onboard activities were plentiful. The food in the Buffet was excellent and we found it better than the Dinning room fare. Also the Pizza restaurant and International Cafe were wonderful to grab a nice snack or meal at. The ship was well maintained and almost everything was clean and spotless.
The one thing that was difficult was getting used to the Deck layout's and the Dining rooms. Having to go to deck 4, up and down to get to the main dinning room was an odd situation. But once that was figured out it was much easier to work with.
Cabin was roomy and clean. We didn't like the couch that was there, it was a sleeper. That made it uncomfortable to sit on until we modified it with the throw pillows. Balcony was very nice and we spent lots of time outside watching for whales.
