In general, the 3 and 4 night cruises have older ships, less impressive shows, and less experienced staff than the 7 night cruises. This is true for RCL, NCL, and Carnival. That being said, I don't recall us ever having a problem with cleanliness on a Carnival cruise. At the first signs of an illness outbreak, they often switch to mandatory hand sanitation, then have the staff serve everything (even at the buffets). After almost 20 cruises, none of our family has ever gotten sick, even when my kids were toddlers and they touched everything and put their hands in their mouths all the time. Any other issues we have had, regardless of cruise line, staff have been universally excellent and finding appropriate resolutions. I you do have a problem onboard, make sure to speak up.
