This was a cruise for my boyfriend and my one year anniversary. We are 19 years old and we were able to sail Carnival since he is Army Reserve. This was his first cruise and my 8th, all of which have been with Carnival. I was on the Carnival Glory Inaugural back in 2003 (my very first cruise) and enjoyed it very much. We sailed the Western Caribbean on July 28th, 2007 with stops in Cozumel, Belize, Costa Maya, and Nassau. I will say I believe this was one of the most enjoyable cruises I've been on.

We live about 90 minutes from Port Canaveral so we left the house around 10 AM. My parents drove us to avoid parking in the garages at the Port. We filled out the Funpass weeks prior to our cruise, although at embarkation they never asked for it. At 11:30 there weren't many people trying to board, so everything went smoothly and we were eating lunch by 12. Our cabin wasn't ready until 1:30, so we just explored the ship.

Our room: We booked a GTY 4A, were upgraded to 4D. Once we got into our room, it met our expectations. The only problem was that our shower drain worked very slowly. Luggage came before 3 and life boat drill was tedious but smooth. Sofyan, our room steward was fabulous! We also had a cooler of ice, towel animals and a well cleaned room. HE contacted maintenance about our shower, which was convenient, and it was fixed the first night. Read more
