Great review Ed - I gave you 5 stars.  Like Jim, we love Carnival.  Anytime we have encountered any problems, they are normally quick to fix them.  We have 2 Carnival cruises on deck right now...we do plan to &quot;stray&quot; when we take the grandkids on a Disney cruise, but I don&#39;t think you can beat Carnival for the size of the cabins and the cost of a balcony stateroom.
