Carnival Imagination Review, July 2-6:
I sailed with my husband, age 65, and our grandsons, aged 6 and 9. My husband and I have sailed on 25 ships in the Caribbean, Alaska, Baltic, Mediterranean, and in Asia on NCL, Royal Caribbean, Princess, Disney, and Celebrity and have traveled widely throughout all of Europe and the British Isles as well as Japan. This was our grandsons' second cruise, they having cruised on the Disney Dream last year. This cruise stopped at Key West and Cozumel, sailing out of Miami. We chose this ship because my grandsons love waterslides, and it has great waterslides. It was our first (and probably last) cruise with Carnival.
DEMOGRAPHIC: The shoeless (from what I saw, more than half the people embarked in flip-flops), the heavily tattooed, the party heartiers, four bewildered elderly people, us, and a large Black man who was removed from the ship in handcuffs.
Very large closet, plenty of storage space. King bed and pull-out sofa bed. One chair, one stool. Lots of counter space. Bathroom felt cramped. Small jetted tub.
