Cruise Review Carnival Imagination Sailing date 3/26/07 6 people in our party 3 kids, 3 adults

Embarkation = Embarkation went fairly smoothly, although we've decided the port of Miami is out LEAST favorite port. After waiting for a bit in the terminal, we were ushered onto the ship. Staterooms were ready early, and luggage delivery was punctual.

Dining = We actually felt, the first night in the Spirit dining room, that it was the worst service on a cruise ever. My son asked for water three times. The waiter actually stood beside him with a bottle of water once, only to leave without pouring him any. We did not get water/tea etc until the appetizers were brought, and were not offered bar drinks all evening. Five appetizers came out 7 minutes before the sixth persons appetizer. Just generally not a good night in the dining room. We spoke with the Maitre D about it, and it did seem to get better after that. Read more
