We booked this cruise while on the last BN cruise in Feb. Just a good winter break for us. We were offered an upgrade or money back and not being in the cabin much we choose the money. In Feb there were a lot of issues with lounge chairs. There were over 3000 people and only 1000 chairs on board. By 8:00 most of the chairs had white bath towels to reserve chairs and sometimes it was afternoon before bodies showed up. Only the very last day did anyone police this issue. Carnival would put a time sticker and come back hr later and remove items to free up chairs. We were in our chairs by 7:30 and one of us always stayed there until we went for a late lunch. The next cruise has even less deck space because there is a huge slide/waterpark area which reduces deck space.

The other complaints were the ports to visit and cruise going out of Port Canaveral adds to the issue. Even for us we don't feel flying into Orlando and getting to ship is as convenient as Ft Lauderdale or Miami.
