We sailed on her back in 2003 and had a great time.
We are headed out again later on this month. I am sure she is fine. She is an older ship (built in 1990) but Carnival does a good job keeping their ships in shape. Yes, there could be some stains on the carpet and a ding here and there...but overall, nothing that I would think would ruin your cruise.
We are just doing a 4 day *since we had to be on the Mississippi Gulf Coast Christmas Day anyway. We have already done 2 cruises this year...so this is just a long weekend getaway for us.
We know the Assistant CD (Noonan) since we sailed with him on the Pride in March and have kept in touch. So that will make our getaway a little more enjoyable.
Happy Cruising!!
