We just returned from our first cruise and this Disney World gal is now a cruiser. I am already planning our next cruise for January 2014.
This was the first cruise for myself (51), husband (55), and our 21 year old daughter. We sailed on a four night Bahamas cruise on the Carnival Ecstasy. This was perfect first time cruise. The staff was great, the food was plentiful and good, and I loved the neon art deco decor (made everything fun).
We had a balcony room which was well worth the extra money. The stateroom was small for three people but the balcony gave us the extra room we needed.
It took some getting use to. The third be was directly over the king bed. Everyone hit there head once or twice. Room was very small but functional.
