This was our 2nd cruise on Carnival. Last year my husband and I sailed out of Port Canaveral on Carnival Glory and had a great time in the Eastern Caribbean. This year we decided to go again and try the Western Caribbean. This cruise was just as good as last year and last year was great.
Embarkation was a breeze... even easier than last year. We flew in day before and stayed at hotel that had free shuttle to airport. We were on board by 12:30 and in our cabin by 1:30. Luggage was at our room by 5 PM. Port of Tampa was very nice.
Our cabin was excellent and our cabin steward, Pambudi, was awesome. Room always looked great. The balcony is worth the extra money! Now that we have been on two and had balconies both times, I don't think I could go without one. The towel animals were cute too.
