My husband and I just returned from our Carnival Ecstasy cruise and we had a GREAT time. I'll try for a play by play-day by day review!

Embarkation- Port Canaveral....you are now our favorite port....10 minutes to check in, waited 20 minutes and boarded the ship! Fastest easiest ever embarkation! Our room was ready at 1 pm and by 3pm, all of our luggage was at the door!

First evening and night on the ship was spent exploring. We had cruised the Ecstasy in 1996 and even 16 years later she was still splendid. The crew is constantly cleaning and polishing! You can see some wear and tear on her but still beautiful! We had dinner In the Panarama Dining area (buffet).
