I felt that I owed the cruise critic community a review, because I utilized the service & I hope you find it helpful.  I will try to be short & concise.First we had a wonderful vacation.  This was my husbands 1st cruise & my 3rd.  I was really praying he'd enjoy & he did, immensely.  I think he may have enjoyed it more than me.Their are as many activities as you want to participate in.  For us we just found the cruise to be extremely relaxing. Anyone who says, 'you'll never be in your room' is not telling the truth it all depends.  We had an extended balcony & I'm glad we did.  It was enjoyable going out on the balcony as the sun rose, especially when going into a new port.  I'm an early riser & he's not.  Every morning I went to the 1st rate workout facility.  Gym opens every morning @ 6am, but the locker rooms open @ 8am.  I'd arrive @ 8 get a locker, workout, take a shower there (WAY bigger than the cabin shower) go back up get my husband & we'd do breakfast.  He got to sleep & I worked out.  The steam room in the locker room is really really hot...nice!  The sauna was nice but I didn't use.  They also have a jacuzzi in the gym...very nice.  We'd look at the newsletter & determine what activities we wanted to do.Shows...well we only made 1 & then left...I was just too tired from getting up so early, that I went to bed early almost every night, but my husband would sometimes smoke a cigar on the balcony or go to the sports bar that allowed cigar smoking.  We took naps every day & just enjoyed the comfort & fantastic service of our cabin steward.  He was so good we switched the tip & gave him the recommended amount for waiters...because he made our trip AMAZING!  One night we hung out late & that was really fun.  The Newlywed/Marriage show was excellent.  Heard the Comedian was funnyFood: this was the highlight.  Carnival has done a great job.  we ate in the dining room 5 of the 7 nights.  The other 2 nights we ate at David's Supper Club...We are really foodies...I'm snooty when it comes to food.  After eating at David's the 1st time me & my husband said we'd be back.  We went on Mon. & our last evening Friday.  I lived in NYC for 3.5 years & this is some of the BEST food I've EVER had...I've been to France multiple times, stayed at magnificent chateau with wonderful Chefs & this is some of the BEST.  It was so great...we took pictures of it.  Pay the $60 you WILL NOT be disappointed.  They give so much food you won't order dbls...like in the main dining room (my husband did that all the time if they said the portion was only 6 oz there was not problem), but you could order 2 appetizers if you wanted...but not necessary @ Davids...they will give you complimentary things....amazing.  Overall, we enjoyed that the most, we always at breakfast & lunch in the Mermaid Grille, the buffet...it was excellent as well.  A ton of variety.Alcohol:   we brought 2 bottles on wine in our carry on & snuck in gin in a juice bottle & another bottle of wine.  That wasn't even necessary because they didn't check a thing.  We're not cheap...nor do we drink a ton...However, that helped to save us a lot of money.  Because I gave one bottle to the main dining room & had the other 2 in my room.  However, I'd say we averaged an add'l 1-2 bar drinks per person per day & our bar tab was still about $300-$400.  it would have been a ton more if we didn't have our drinks.  You'll buy drinks on the beach, etc.Ports:  Grand Turks was okay, the beach is really really rocky...you need water shoes & the beach area is not very flat...you don't have a lot of flat sand area, but it's still a nice port.  Carnival built this up.  However, the Margaritaville is where it's AT!!  Young and old enjoyed...YOU must get out there kind of early if you want a spot w/an umbrella...wonderful pool area at Magaritaville, we got there around 12pm & lucked up finding a chair & umbrella.  Can't use your sail & sign card for drinks there.Half Moon Cay:  was AMAZINGINGLY BEAUTIFUL!!! However, if you want to get a covering...they don't have umbrellas, their like little cabanas..cost $17.50, you have to get there...again we got there around 11am & they were running out.  It's hot there...you'll really want the cabanas.  They also have real cabanas/cabins w/fans & air coolers,etc.  but they cost a bit..,not sure how much.  They excellent bar service & you can use your sail & sign card for drinks...the barbeque lunch is great!All in all the ship was just great.  However, we went at a great time...very few teens trying to take over!!!
