Traveled with children
Me, my wife, and my son decided to take a bit of an impromptu cruise since we were going to be back in our old stomping grounds of Tampa.
And since we lived in Tampa for so long, it was always very easy to take a cruise basically whenever we wanted. And that meant it was usually Carnival.
Since our son was born, we have had a cruise dry spell. But this was a good opportunity, and we thought we would try out a short one to see how a toddler would take to it.
Cabin Review
Ocean View
Very average. Not the most clean, definitely old and worn, but good enough for sleeping and dressing. Had to have their fix-it man come and unclog the sink since it seemed to be draining slow.
Port Reviews
Tampa
New port, very easy, friendly.
Cozumel
Typical tourist port. I am impressed with how they funnel you though the gift shop on the way out. It's extraordinary the lengths they go to to get your money.
