Getting on the boat was very, very smooth, it was beautiful, as we expected. It was a lot bigger than the Imagination. Our room was larger than last year, we had a cot and 2 twins put together, and the bathroom was way bigger on this boat. We do prefer the layout on the Imagination better, as everything was a lot easier to find. The food was awesome, I gained 9 pounds, there was a deli, pizza, buffet,burgers and fries and the dining room. I found the breakfast buffet to be pretty boring, the eggs were pretty runny, besides breakfast, the buffet rocked!! The dining room was wonderful, our servers were excellent. Two formal nights, lobster was only served on 1 of them. The places we visited were great!! Half Moon Cay, St. Thomas, San Juan and Nassau. Everything went very smooth, getting on and off the boat. We only went to one show, and it was basically like every other show that we went to last year. My daughter went to every show and she said they were the same as on the Imagination. I didn't care much for the cruise director, he liked to get on the loud speaker at 9am, and wake everyone up. Some of his jokes I found were not very funny, they were a little rude. Besides that which is really nothing too bad at all. My daughter was in the 12-14 year club, and she basically only went to the dances, which she enjoyed.We took the tour to South beach with transportation to Fort Lauderdale airport through Carnival, which I think maybe Carnival should test it out before they endorse it. Our bus just about flipped over, and we were supposed to be on the bus by 12:30, 12:45 at the latest and our tour lady waited till 5 after one for 2 ladies, we had a 4pm flight to catch so I was not impressed, not to mention as it rained the bus was leaking water all over everyone. We did have the time of our lives and I can't wait to do it again!
