This was our first cruise and we decided to go with Carnival mainly for the price and the ability to leave out of Tampa. Overall the cruise was a good experience and we would like to go on another cruise, although we may try a different cruise line. We cruised 7/19/2008-7/24/2008. As the previous poster said, we were diverted from one of our destinations to the Keys due to Hurricane Dolly.
Embarkation- No problems, went quickly and smoothly.
Cabin-We had an oceanview cabin on the U deck (2nd from the top deck of rooms). I was pleasantly surprised with the size of the room. The closets were also very spacious and easily held our clothes. The bathroom was what we expected, tiny!
