This was my 3rd cruise on Carnival, and this time, we decided to take a shorter cruise, and see how it was. The Carnival Inspiration is a nice ship, although I found it "harder" to locate some of the areas that were on different floors. I found myself walking from one end of the ship to the other, just to get to some of the areas. We had a window room and it was nice, but I notice there was not a full length mirror, which I was used to see before. Perhaps this is only on the larger ships. We did have a nice bath towel waiting for us in the closet. There is NO hair blower, so if you need one, bring it. The colors on the ship were nice, and not gaudy like I have seen on other ships. One thing I did not like is they had some type of sign/designation in front of the elevators, and it must have stood for the deck#, but this I did not like. The other carnival ships had the deck # on the floor in front of the elevators, which made it handy. I had to look at the "full" deck plan by the elevator to see what floor I was on. On the elevators, it had A,B,C, etc. instead of #'s. You really had to look hard at these A, B, C's to see what was on those floors. They have a small Serenity area, and some of it is covered, and the other part was open if you wanted to be in the sun. We were in the Carnival dining room with a late seating. Our waiter, Eha (instead of HE HA), and his helper Tutty were really nice and helpful with the 10 of us. There was only one night that I really didn't find anything on the menu that I didn't like. Years before we were able to "request" something else, but that is no longer, unless it is just on the Inspiration. They have 24 hour pizza, if you wish. The deli had some good sandwiches, and the buffet line generally had changes every day. The last day they had some nice desserts. We attended the Love & Marriage show, and it was funny, but it is really for "adults" and they let you know that ahead of time, before they start. They have a nice miniature golf and basketball area at the top.
