Great cruise despite worst dining room at sea.

Additional details
This was the 5th Carnival cruise for my wife and I along with our two boys (ages 11 and 10). Overall the cruise was great however this was somewhat offset by a terrible experience in the dining room.
Embarkation was smooth. First time out of Port Everglades but we are Gold and were booked in a suite. We arrived early and then waited in their side waiting area for suite guests and higher status guests. We boarded around 11:30, ate in the Lido and then explored the ship like we always do.
Our cabin was ready at 1:30 and it was great. We saw our luggage sitting on carts by the elevators and waited an hour for them to deliver it. When they didn't, I simply walked over and took them myself back to the room to unpack.
Cabin Review
First time in a suite and it was well worth every penny. Lots of room and plenty comfortable for a family of 4. Balconies are pretty small but nice enough.
