Review for a Mexican Riviera Cruise on Carnival Spirit

Embarkation (1/1/11)
We drove to the ship from Las Vegas and stayed at the San Pedro Doubletree. They let you park for the week as part of a room package and deliver you in their van to and from the pier. Tip the driver, who works very hard at getting you close to the curbside porters. My only complaint was that the porters seemed overwhelmed and you do not get a claim check for your ...

Particulars: My family joining me to celebrate my birthday included Me, DW, DD(5) and DS(8), also adult niece, nephew and wife, and sister.
Since only my niece has cruised previously, when my wife said she wanted to get my family together for my birthday, a cruise wasn't the first thing I thought of. I wanted to get together somewhere warm over the holiday period rather than the chilly places ...

From embarkation to debarkation, the 15-night Los Angeles-Hawaii-Los Angeles cruise on CARNIVAL Spirit was our most disappointing cruise to date on CARNIVAL.
EMBARKATION: Spirit arrived late from her previous cruise due to weather conditions. The late arrival caused all of the embarkation and departure routines to be delayed at least two hours; two hours of sitting in the embarkation lounge ...

This part is going to be mostly about the ship. The review of the ports are below.
Let me start out that over all we enjoyed our trip. We LOVED Hawaii and hope to go back. We felt that for our first visit this was the way to see some of the best of what the islands had. Definitely not enough time on them, but gave us a good taste of what they had to offer.
I'll start with the not so good ...

Booked this cruise for family visit -- one relative in LA and one was cruise staff. Flew to LA a day early and stayed at the San Pedro Inn & Suites, which was very economical, very satisfactory, and quite close to the San Pedro pier. Took complimentary hotel shuttle at noon to the pier, and were aboard by about 1 p.m., having the benefit of VIP treatment.
Really enjoyed the look and feel of the ...

I have taken only one other cruise - the first was with Holland America through the Mediterranean in 2009. That was the cruise of a lifetime so any comparison is unfair but unavoidable. I traveled with my 62 year old mother. We shared a stateroom on the first floor - called the "Riveria".
The ship holds about 2400 passengers but never felt crowded. The activities weren't exactly my cup of ...

This is our second cruise, first for our 3 year old, all with carnival, and spirit class ships. Embarkation took longer than our first cruise, as debark was late, but it was fine as we met alot of nice people who we frequently saw on the ship. Our itinerary changed about five times from booking date to actually getting our last port reinstated as we returned to our ship. Mostly due to "violence" ...

We had not cruised Carnival in two years due to a MINOR dispute with Carnival that was never resolved favorably. Our last Carnival cruise was on the Pride relocation cruise from Los Angeles to Miami via the Panama Canal. This was our 9th Carnival cruise and 20th overall. We relented and returned to Carnival primarily because of the fantastic price and 9 day itinerary of this cruise.
We ...

Embarkation: Basically worst ever. However, I expected it as the Spirit was repositioning and I knew this was the first time Carnival had used San Pedro in a long time. The long shoremans union should be ashamed. I actually heard them tell a woman with her mother in a wheel chair, sorry we can't take your bags, you need to push her to the end of the line, oh about two blocks away and drag your ...
