This was our 7th Carnival Cruise . It was by far the best . We flew to Tampa, spent a day at Busch Gardens . As we booked a category 12 Penthouse Suite, we had VIP check in, we were guided to the entry point without having to wait hours to hear a group number called. We were on the ship within a few minutes. Our room was tremendous, huge suite with large balcony & bath,whirlpool tub & bidet.

We dined two nights in Nick & Nora's, the $30 per person supper club. The food & service are incredible. You must try this. Its never very crowded, the cruise line doesn't seem to really push this fine experience. The sushi appetizer is remarkable . IT is worth the small fee.

We booked excursions on line. In Cozumel we took a jeep trip to a Mayan temple, snorkeling, lighthouse and a Mexican meal. In Grand Cayman we swam with the stingrays, went to Hell, & snorkeled and visited a turtle farm. In Belize we took a fast boat to a private beach, in Costa Maya, we also went to a Jungle beach, drove our own mini boats. Read more
