Not apples to apples!
Great time with our daughter and her 3 boys ages 6, 3, 1! boys were too young to participate in some of the fun, plus the weather was on the coolish side, but that is on us. we made the best of what was lovely about the experience. my daughter chose an interior cabin for this "cruising experiment." she was amazed how well they fit...she and baby in queen bed and boys in their own bunks...it worked...however, she will definitely spring for a balcony next time around. we chose a large aft-facing extra large balcony which was so nice for the boys to get their wiggles out! here was the most disappointing (shocking) discovery...one of our grandsons hid under the bed during a game of "hide-n-seek"...i found him and a previous guests perscription medication!!!!! a loose pill and an inhaler along with dried rose petals...an obvious indication that the attention to cleanliness was unacceptable! carnival...give them more time to clean or at least up your quality control process!!!
The main dining experience was terrific...quality and service. the buffet and other options were underwhelming.
