My husband and I just returned from a Western Caribbean cruise on the Carnival Inspiration. We sailed from Tampa, Florida. This was our second cruise, our previous cruise was a 7 day Eastern Caribbean cruise from Port Canavaral on the Carnival Glory.
We arrived at the Port of Tampa and although it was crowded, we managed to get through the process fairly easily. From what I could tell the terminal was not as big as the one in Port Canavaral or it seemed that way. The staff in the terminal were friendly.
Once arriving on the Inspiration, we walked around the familiarize ourselves with the ship. Then we went to the Brasserie restaurant on the Lido deck to have lunch. The variety on the buffet was good and we were satisfied. We went down to our cabin later and our luggage had arrived.
adequate closet space for two people, good location, convenient to lido deck. We were aft which was fine. We noticed a little motion during sailing but it was not bad at all.
