Once again we enjoyed our cruise; and, it came at a great time as weather back home was dreadfully cold. This trip, my husband and I were joined by his mother and aunt. It was my mother-in-law's second cruise with us and the aunt's very first.

Now--on the the cruise. We reached the port at 11:30 and found the terminal easy to access even though we had to join a line snaking it's way toward the door. But, check-in went smooth and soon we were enjoying lunch on the Lido deck.

My husband and I have been on several cruises and this was the first where the cabin steward just didn't live up to our past experiences. Two or three days we returned to the cabin to freshen up for lunch only to find our room had not been touched! And, he was no where in sight.

Cabin Review

The cabins located on deck 8--specifically--the ones beneath the pool area are nearly perfect during the day. (This cabin was chosen for us by Carnival due to several changes we were forced to make on behalf of Carnival.) However, once the sun goes down and night time activities (deck parties) begin, things change. For example, my husband & I in cabin 8315 and family members in 8320, were awakened one night by what had to have been a table being drug across the deck above us. The sound started at the balcony and continued all the way out our door.
