An Awesome cruise by Yvonne H from Middletown, De
Sailing date: Oct 2009

Pros:
The friendliness of the crew and the people on the ship.

Cons:
The only con I have is just getting use to finding the different levels of the ship.

My impression of the ship is that it is an excellent ship to vacation on. This was my husbands first cruise and he loved it so much that he is ready to go on another cruise for a longer period and on the same ship.

We were very pleased with the service of the housekeeping staff and our stateroom, we really enjoyed the animals made from the towels. We had everything we needed and anything missing, for instance a hairdryer was provided upon request.

AWESOME! AWESOME! by Teresa P. from Versailles, KY
Sailing date: Oct 2009

Pros:
I was treated like a queen

Cons:
Would loved to have had some bicuits and gravy

My stateroom was always ready for me, I felt like I was home. And the cruise director "Karl" was always on top of his game. Every where you turned was shinny and clean.

We had a fantastic time! by Tabitha B from yutan nebraska
Sailing date: Sep 2009

Pros:
Everyone was so very helpful.

Cons:
It didn't last long enough.

My sister and I took our children and our parents on this ship. There were 9 of us total and everyone we talked to was very helpful. My parents had a room steward who was great. My dad is in a wheelchair and blind so there were a few things he wanted to do like sit in a hottub that if someone hadn't lent a hand, we could not have done. My sister and I went on the deluxe sail snorkel and beach tour and would do so again and again. We had a blast.

Mytwo teens enjoyed their group activities. My preteen loved being in her group. My poor 11 year old wasn't so lucky. She was the oldest of her group and didn't feel the activies were for her. she would have been happier with the preteen group.

Carnival Imagination was good by Kevin H. from Waco, TX
Sailing date: Sep 2009

Pros:
The rooms were nice and well designed. The workers were friendly and helpful! My cabin steward, Rito, did a fantastic job! The ship was kept very clean!

Cons:
The food was fine, but nothing to write home about. The excursion we purchased for $80 a piece in Cozumel was awful (and I don't complain). It should even be offered through the ship. The ship was "chopped up" in design, as numerous people stated.

My wife and I took this cruise as a little getaway to rest and had a great time, for the most part. The ship's personnel were friendly and helpful, except for the one photographer who told me to fix my hair before the picture was to be taken. I wear my hair messy on purpose. Great call! I would be willing to go on this ship again.

The food is not bad, but it's nothing to write home about. The selection is decent. The problem is that they have to prepare such a large volume of meals that it's not possible to have th ebest quality.

Fantastic Cruise by Joanne A from Boston,MA
Sailing date: Aug 2009

Pros:
The FUN Ship

Cons:
needs a little more organization

Great cruise for the money. Could use more workers. The childrens room was great. They could use beepers for the parents in case their children want to come out early or if something happens. Very friendly staff.

good ship by A Traveler from North carolina
Sailing date: Jul 2009

Pros:
Shows were of good quality. Food was great

Cons:
Had a sloppy waiter until we complained and he was replaced by another waiter.

ship was great. Would highly reccommend for a first time or return cruiser. It will give you a good sense of the cruising experience. (this was my 3rd) Our stateroom was kept clean and the food was very good. Productions were good. Cruise director was energetic but talked a little too much sometimes. Never met captain. On another cruiseline, the captain walked thru the dining hall and mingled on formal night. Food was good but desserts limited. No baked alaska here. Pool and slide are great. Don't get a spa massage though. Paid for 75 minute massage and got 55. rest of time I laid in dark followed by a sales pitch.

On previous cruises, waiter devised a chart and addressed us by last name. Learned what we had an likeness for (soda, no ice for instance) not so with this staff. A little disappointed.

GREAT Cruise! by Indy 7 from Indianapolis, IN
Sailing date: Jun 2009

Pros:
Activities for everyone in the family!

Cons:
Only one pool.

There were activities for everyone in the family both day and night. My kids loved Camp Carnival...they did not want to leave. My teenagers found friends and activities to keep them busy and out of trouble. My husband and I loved the piano bar. The nightly shows were great. I am planning on taking the family on another cruise next year.

Good first time cruise by Bo C from New Haven CT
Sailing date: May 2009

Pros:
Prompt service

Cons:
average food

Overall, good for first time cruisers. Plenty of things to do or just relax by one of the many lounging areas and watch the scenery. Staff are friendly and prompt. Food is okay, not spectacular.

restaurants, sevice, and variety are excellent, but the quality is about average. There are a few very delisious things but most are average. The flat steak is overdone and bland, but the chocolate cake is superb.

A Different Experience by brandy b from Lees Summit, MO
Sailing date: May 2009

Pros:
The Bahamas

Cons:
information and customer service

I thought it looked wonderful. This was my first cruise and when we booked the cruise online we thought we covered everything. After stepping on cruise I had a very hard time figuring things out. I feel there should be more information for first time cruisers.
