I loved the ship, and this is from someone who is not a big Carnival fan. The service, food and decor were all a giant leap beyond my previousCarnival cruise a couple years ago. I would have no problem recommending this ship to both Carnival and non-Carnival fans alike. I was impressed! A full review will follow. Enjoy the pictures!

(There was an error with your link/URL, but I've put it right).
Unless it's fairly new, I haven't heard of any airport at Cape Canaveral. When we've sailed out of there we first flew into Orlando and then had to drive to CC. It's probably about an hour from the airport.

One question for everyone here though : Fourth pic down on the left hand side (bow shot with deck chairs) what in the name are those copper things! I see them on lots of ships! Like satalitte dishes!!??
Good question!Those are spare propeller blades just in case one is damaged. They store them in the forecastle area on the bow. Some other ships where they are visible are the NORWEGIAN SUN and the NORWEGIAN SKY. The SKY used to have them, until the original blade was damaged and they had to use the spares.
Hope this helps,Ernie Roller
