Went on this cruise with my two sisters and it was something we looked forward to for a year. One of my sisters had never cruised before so it was exciting to watch her reaction to everything. We chose the Eastern Caribbean as we liked the ports of call. It was a great week...the weather was great and we had a terrific room. We decided to go for an ocean suite since there were three of us. It is the first time I have had a balcony and I loved it.

The staff was wonderful. We had a great room steward and great dining room staff. The food was great and lots of options to choose from. The entertainment could have been better in the Amber Palace but the comedy club entertainers were really good - at least two of the three we saw.

The only disappointing part of the cruise was the time it took to get on the ship. We had priority boarding but we were delayed until almost 1:00 pm - apparently because there was a delay in getting everyone off the ship from the previous cruise. Once we were on board, we were fine. We are looking at another sister cruise in the future with Carnival.
