I went on this cruise with my mom and sister and we had a great time. Leaving out of Charleston was very convenient. The port staff was great as were the drivers to the the ship. We were able to go straight to our room which was a first time for us. Usually we had to wait. Even though our bags were not there yet it was nice to get in and meet our cabin guy Arthur. He was fabulous! The food was OK but that's to be expected in my opinion and I am not a big eater. The fruit and salad were very fresh. Soups were good too. As for the activities, I loved the 80's show and won a ship on a stick! Benjamin was my favorite cruise director and overall the staff was great. The Serenity Deck was very nice and I wish I could remember the towel guy's name because he was so super sweet. We will definitely sail on Carnival again.
