Excited to see how the vessel is brought into the Carnival Family. Sailing with friends on this voyage. Only my 2nd cruise with Carnival and looking forward to a good experience.

Was just on board doing the London to NY Trans-Atlantic 9.23.22 sailing. I have to say, she is a beautiful ship. Like any new vessel, she had her "needed to be worked out" issues. The dining was a great surprise. I've sailed on a number of NCL voyages, and the restaurants have been upgraded for sure. The Italian optional dining is more upscale compared to other ships. The MDR menus gave some many options, that we were not bothered even after dining in them 6 of the 12 nights on board. The Indulge choices were amazing and the food was very good and very easy to order...once you learned how to use the tablets. Their biggest issue with Indulge is the overall lack of seating. However, I was told that the outdoor areas on Ocean Blvd around Indulge would be available for table ordering thru the tablets in warmer climates. There is also ample staff there to help you to learn how to use the tablets. The cabins are a nice size and the bathrooms are much more spacious then other ships. The public spaces are smaller, so if you are going to attend any of the events...be early for good seating. The service was exceptional everywhere. It felt like many of the staff were experienced and brought on with that in mind. Have a great trip!

Hey everyone. Will be my first sailing on Carnival. Not sure if any other family on board.
