we have sailed on carnival spirit in 2015, this time it had been to dry dock for a refurb. It's a good change, the food adds are great especially guys burgers. Could not fault the happy friendly staff, it was super clean every where. Plenty of entatainment. We don't expect to be kept entatined by the cruise line so there was enough for us. Embankment was so quick and disembarking just as smooth. Tendering had little or no wait if you got up early, I think 9am got busy. No waiting to get back on ship from islands. Apprriciated that carnival set up water coolers on islands near tenders with paper cups, potty people still don't know how to put them in the bins provided. It was a very good cruise and have booked two more, one repositioning cruise on the legend and another on the spirit. Definitely a resnable priced cruise.
