If you seek a lively, active cruise with plenty of nightlife, this ship is for you. You will find terrific Las Vegas-style entertainment, a selection of theme bars and lounges, and some of the largest standard cabins in the cruise industry. Despite the large number of passengers, there is no sense of being crowded on board. Carnival has made a conscious effort to attract more families, couples, and mature singles, and we applaud this decision. You will not find as much of a rowdy, party crowd on the Ecstasy now as you might have several years ago.
Carnival continues to improve the quality of their food and it has really paid off.
The food on the Ecstasy is excellent and Carnival's food just keeps getting better and better. The service on the Ecstasy is warm, friendly, attentive, and professional. Overall, Carnival offers an exceptional value for your vacation dollars. The Ecstasy experienced a much-publicized fire in 1998, but she has bounced back better than ever. On top of that, she was just in dry dock again this winter for some fairly significant nips and tucks, and she looks shiny and new and in even better shape than when we last sailed on her in 1997.
