We usually cruise with Princess, but decided to branch out and try other cruise lines.

I am so glad we did. For the money we normally pay on princess we were able to afford a suite on Carnival Spirit. (See cabin review below) 4226.

We arrived at the airport to be greeted by a Carnival rep. We did have to wait an hour for other people to arrive and were ushered to the bus. We were given our boarding cards on the bus and as we had a suite we were given priority boarding. This was extremely quick. We were on the ship in no time. There was quite a queue without priority boarding.

Cabin Review

Junior Suite

Cabin JS

Very large cabin with a standard size balcony, was very quiet and suited us perfectly. The spa bath was a nice touch. There is a lot of carry-on in blogs about this cabin. The cabin is perfectly serviceable. There are stairs you can see from inside the cabin if you have the second set of curtains open, but they are hardly used, and you cannot see inside the cabin from the stairs. I would take this cabin again. It is in a great spot, the stairs give you an alternative way of getting around the boat. I really don't know what some people expect, all the negative reviews had me really worried about this cabin I had booked, but after being on board and in the cabin for a week, I believe that the majority of the reviews are over the top and nit picking. Remember you get what you pay for. This is a Junior suite, a large room, with a standard size balcony. Book it and enjoy it
