Cabin: Grand Suite

Everything about Carnival and the Inspiration ship and crew is totally positive. So far, I've had three perfect cruises with Carnival and this was the 3rd of the three. (Have also cruised with Norwegian and Royal Caribbean).

The ship was spotless, the dining room staff was perfect (even the Lido cafeteria was extra special), the cabin and steward were world class, and the boarding and debarking processes were flawless.

If you haven't figured it out already, I'm perfectly content to wait on a line or two (especially after having served in the US Army for 21+ years) as long as the line is moving -- and everything moved along like clockwork.

Cabin Review

Grand Suite

Cabin GS

We upgraded to a Grand Suite, Cabin U84, on the ship's port side. At first we were taken aback by the pole right next to the bed. We worried that it would be in the way when getting up at night. But we got used to it in a couple of minutes and it was no problem.

The cabin was wonderful. The large balcony had a totally unobstructed 180-degree view when standing. However, we cannot stand longer than a few minutes.

The balcony chairs were very comfortable and we enjoyed sitting on the balcony even though that view was blocked by the 3' high solid metal railing.

Transparent fiberglass below the rail would have been nicer, but the solid railing certainly didn't spoil a moment of our enjoyment.
