Trent I wouldn't do this cruise again. But, then again thanks to hurricane Earl our original destinations where not an option they informed us just before sailing. We are making the best of it. We are on the Carnival Dream which is there largest ship. In this case betters isn't always better. There are approx. 4500 people on the ship. The pools are same size if not smaller. We love cruises but I think we will stick with smaller ships.
