Carnival Spirit Review

Additional details
We arrived in Vancouver a day early. The weather was fantastic without a cloud in the sky. After about a 45 minute drive from the Airport we arrived at the Vancouver Downtown Delta Suites. The hotel was beautiful and the rooms very spacious. We choose this hotel because we often stay in Delta hotels and were able to use our privilege points for the stay. The Delta Hotel was within walking distance of not only the embarkation port but also many of the attractions around downtown Vancouver. We spent most of the day touring Vancouver's Stanley Park which is an adventure unto itself. A beautiful place that offers beautiful views of the harbour, beaches and majestic walks through huge Redwoods and forest. A perfect way to begin an Alaskan adventure.
Embarkation:
What can one say about this. Canada Place was beautiful. We woke up early and went for a morning walk down around the port to get a feel for where we had to go. We walked back to the hotel and packed our bags then took a taxi (about 7 dollars) back to Canada Place because the taxi would take us right under ground. When we arrived the porters were there waiting and immediately took our bags and got them ready to be placed on the ship.
Cabin Review
Ocean View
The Cabin was fine. We stayed in Room 1148 on the Riviera deck. The room was spacious and the bathroom was also spacious. Cupboard space was suitable although I always find that there is never really a good place to store ones suitcase when its unpacked on any cruise I have ever been on.
The noise level was fine although one night we were in rough waters and there was a constant banging against the side of the ship or so it appeared. I guess that is to be expected from time to time. Our room Steward was always there to be helpful and our room was always spotless.
