WOW where do I start... Staff - They were very friendly and out going(it seemd like staff was non stop cleaning). Savio the bartender kept a close eye on my daughter(not the creepy eye either)and made sure she felt like a queen on the Lido deck. He recognized all of us just after the first day calling us by our name. Dinner was the same way, Nugusti(Nicki) and her helper LULU always made us feel like Kings and Queens. Nugusti was fast and very busy, while LuLu made sure we had everything we needed including a smile. They even sang Happy Anniversery to us the first night at dinner(LuLu added Kissy Kissy) I didn't see our room attendent that much, but our room was always clean and ice bucket full. The Lido deck music was always going and the coordinators full of energy. Brett the cruise director and his staff were wonderful and the Captain made me laugh with his words of "Chow" and "Yee Ha". Slot machines were normal and ate my money, why should it be different than the idian reservations. Food- Lines at the buffets were long at times, but went pretty fast. The food there was pretty good, not great but far from saying it wasn't tasty. The dinning room food was GREAT. Everynight we had shrimp and Ceaser Salad for starters which Nugusti noticed on the second day and was already writing it down when she came to our table. She was very sweet and one night my 7yr old daughter Jade didn't feel good and only had 2 bites of her pizza. Nugusti had another one ready for us to take back to the cabin just in case she was hungry later. Prime Rib, Ribs(BBQ&Rubbed),Chicken, Lamb, and of course the melting cake tasted out of this world. Cabin - was clean and air conditiong work very well (I was scarred considering a few reviews that I read). We loved the Balcony. Beds were very comfortable and had plenty of pillows, Bathroom was a bit tight, but who hangs out all day in the bathroom anyways. Windows and balcany glass had spots,but who looks out when you have a balcony. Room service missed a couple things 2-3 times when we ordered. I don't think they took the time to listen long enough, but we didn't let this ruin anything, they just didn't get as much for a tip. When Carnival Glory pulled along side us at the Nassua Port we did notice that the outside of our ship seemed not as sharp and rust free, but how often will you be looking at the ships paint job? Shows were very nice and the comedian was hilarious. Lido deck was lots of fun for all of us. Tasha-17, Joshua-9, Jade-7, and my wife and I. Ports of call - Grand Turk was cool, but lots of rocks and seaweed in the water, Half Moon Cay was BEATIFUL by far my favorite, Nassua save your money for here, because they have a lot of street shops where you can bargain with the people. Entering and exiting the boat was easy just as long as you listen and pay attention. Get your FunPass done on-line through carnivals website. this will make the boarding process even easier. Some areas on the ship is hard to hear the announcments so keep a ear open when debarkation is happening. Enjoy the breakfast on the Lido deck especially when you are waiting for your time to exit the ship for the last time. sniff sniff Warning for those who are impatent, expects everything to be the up most perfection, hates kids, thinks music is loud noise, thinks lines and crowds are nuts, and doesn't like to have fun!! This IS NOT the cruise ship for you!! Everybody else- "TAKE THE CRUISE" YOU'LL LOVE IT!! For first time cruisers - Attend the Port of Calland debarkation seminars(you'll be happy in the long run) DUTY FREE on the ship and lots of deals keep your eyes open. You get a "today at a Glance" pamphlet the night before. When they prepare your room for night time, they'll put this on your bed with chocolates, and of course the wonderful towel animal. Oh Yea- Joshua and Jade loved Camp Carnival. They even had a late night for them which made them feel so special. Jade 1am and Joshua 3:30am - they did so much and they looked forward going there on the 3rd,4th, and 5th day from 6p-8pm before dinner. This made time for mom and dad ;) You know shopping and stuff.. I know I wrote a lot, but I hope this helps and please forgive my spelling. Feel free to E-mail me if you have any questions. We will be going again(just my wife and I) in 2012.

Half Moon Cay - Beautiful beach {{WOW}} We couldn't even find shells to collect, because the beach was so clean. Prices were OK, but still were kind of pricey. Lunch Buffet on the beach was good and nice that it was provided for us.
