I have not been on a cruise since COVID hit and I really hope ships can continue to sail.Cabins are outfitted with queen beds that can be separated into twins, small bedside tables and reading lights, a desk area with a mirror and some shelves, and closets with hanging and shelf areas (but no drawers for socks and underwear). The only 'hiccup' in the entire trip was the wait at ports of call. The entertainment was good and plentiful, the atmosphere fun, and the New Year's Eve bash was a blast. The food was delicious, and the service was EXCELLENT.

Our room steward was amazing! We had 'anytime dining' and had no wait ever. Everyone went out of their way to make sure every need was met very quickly. Even with all the extra duties, the ship staff was wonderful! Employees thanked us repeatedly for sailing. The ship was not at full capacity (I heard it was 65%) and measures were taken to remind passengers to social distance. Hand sanitizer was available throughout the ship and offered by staff at numerous entry ways throughout the ship. The ship staff took major precautions to prevent the spread of COVID. I wish I had the name of the woman who checked us in-it was only her third day and she was flawless. The Carnival employees were well prepared for the additional red tape. Check-in in Miami was the easiest and fastest I have ever experienced-and this included checking COVID vaccination records and the 72-hour PCR COVID test. This was a vaccine required cruise-which I was thankful for. Leading up to the cruise, Carnival communicated frequently and well. Actually, we had a wonderful experience overall. HOWEVER, we had a GREAT experience on the Carnival Sunrise. I didn't expect Carnival to compare with Disney or RC. I chose this Carnival for this trip because it fit the time frame we had to take our grandchildren on a cruise.

In the past, I have cruised Disney and Royal Caribbean. However, this is my first Carnival cruise. I admit I am not an avid cruiser, but I have been on several cruises before.
