This was the first time experiencing a back to back cruise. We did the following 5 night cruise as well. We loved doing the back to back! Will definitely do that again. We took Carnival's shuttle from the Orlando airport and when we arrived in Port Canaveral we were boarding the ship within about 20 minutes, so I am glad we didn't pay for Faster to the Fun. The only thing it would have done for us was get our bags to our cabin quicker, but that wasn't an issue for us.

We had early dining in the Sunrise dining room. Our waitstaff was excellent. Thank you Dean, Adolph and Komang. The food was good and varied. We dined in the back of the Lido Marketplace for breakfast daily, using the omelet stations. They also had French toast there so both of us were happy! Lunches varied between Guy's Burger Bar, the Pizza station, the Mongolian wok area and the pasta bar. We were very pleased with our options. Also hit up the soft serve ice cream on a daily basis.

We enjoyed the variety of entertainment options as well. Saw Epic Rock on the last night of each cruise. The cruise director, Emma, was excellent!! Her trivia parties in the Atrium were amazing! We had a great time at all the comedy shows--we went to see all of the comedians that were onboard. The piano bar with Peter also a regular spot for us. He kept the crowd singing! We even attended a couple of art auctions and won a free work of art and a bottle of champagne.

Cabin Review

Cabin Aft corner cabin

Our corner cabin was chosen for the wrap around balcony. We had a lounger and 2 other chairs with 3 side tables. The cabin was arranged very differently from most, but worked very well. Only complaint was a shower curtain that should have been an inch longer--water was running around the bathroom floor most days no matter how careful we were.
