Background; 2nd Mexican Riviera cruise and 2nd on Carnival Spirit.3rd Carnival cruise.8th cruise.Just the wife and myself again.Booked late and were rewarded w/ a lg inside w/ french doors.No view but allowed air inside and was largest inside cabin ever.
Embarkation; flew in same day to LAX.Like San Diego port much better.Long slow process.From start to on board approx 1 hr.But pretty painless!
Cabin; as above, a large inside.Bed was too firm and cabin steward did his best to add some padding which helped but still too firm Carnival.Spirit needs same bedding as the Valor.Stewart Efran was superb!!Always clean and towel animals every night.
Inside w/ french doors.View of a lifeboat.Allowed air circulation.Largest inside cabin we have ever had.Plenty of cabinet space.Small but adequate bathroom.Quiet location.Too firm mattress.Need ESPN or other sports channels on room tv's and more sports channels in bars on board.
