Well we are a family of 3 and this was just an amazing cruise. We live in CT and left our house around 3:00a.m. and got to the Bradley airport around 3:25. There were delays so our plane was right ontime. We got into Phili. around 6:45 and then our plane got delayed 30 min. and we didn't get to New Orleans until 12:00. We got a taxi to port and it was only like a 25 min. drive with out traffic. EMBARKATION: Since our plane was delayed we got to the port around 1:00 and there was a line. We were in line for at least an hour. So it wasn't that bad. We recommend to get there early! When we got on the ship it was very nice when we went in kept it clean. We were able to go into our rooms we had a window in ours it was small but it wasn't as bad as we cruised Carnival before we had a interior room which was REALLY small. We went to the Lido deck for some lunch(very good cheeseburgers). After lunch we got our bathing suits on but never went in the pool. lol so we just checked out the ship and you know its not a very big ship but it was pretty good. We had a dinner time of 6:15p.m. Our waiters were Armando and Dennis(they were excellent very funny we made him strip one night)lol The dinners were very good and we recommend getting the chocolate melting cake for dessert YUMMM..... DAY AT SEA: WE woke up went to the lido deck for some breakfast and the breakfast wasn't the greatest but it was good(very good hot chocolate). After that we went to the pool(saltwater). The pool was a little on the small side but we enjoyed it. Then we got some pizza(open 24 hours) yum.. This was formal night so we did have to dress up... Pictures were all around we did some pictures everyone looked nice...After that it was time for dinner and had the veil i think that was good and then our chocolate melting cake..Then we went to the WELCOME ABOARD SHOW which was good... KEY WEST: Our itinerary got changed to Key West because of Hurricane Dean, The cruise ships wont be going to Costa Maya for a while because the whole pier got demolished. So we got into Key West around 5 a.m. which was bizarre cuz no one is up at 5 and we had to get back on the ship by 12:30 and the ship left at 1. So we had only like 3 hours there. We got off the ship around 8:45 after we ate breakfast. We really only had time to got the shops which were nice and was an enjoyable time. We got back on the ship at 12:30 and left at 1.We went in the pool the remainder of the day then we went to dinner....That night they had a comedian he was alright.... COZUMEL: Luckily, Cozumel didn't get hit hard. We originally had an excursion booked but since we lost time in key west we had to cancel it but we still went to the shops and we saw the mayan ruins those were nice and then we went to the beach for a little turquoise water. Got back on the ship and went to dinner. They had a really good comedian that night very funny... he was suppose to perform the last night of the cruise but he got a call that his mother died so he had to leave... FUN DAY AT SEA: our last full day and we sat by the pool and lunch and pizza went down the water slide very fast...went to dinner and then the Beatles tribute show very very good we really enjoyed it. DEBARKATION: We did general debarkation and it was pretty fast got off the ship and went down to the terminal to get our bags went off to the airport. We really enjoyed this cruise even though we got our itinerary changed

we recommend to cruise Carnival!!!
