Carnival Inspiration Review

Additional details
My wife and I decided to take this short weekend cruise as we live in the LA area and wanted to do something different for our wedding anniversary. We're no stranger to cruising or Carnival - we have done several cruises before but only 7 or 8 day trips. The 3 day cruise was a new experience for us.
We went with an ocean view room on deck 7. I thought I was being smart and picked a room under the galley. My thinking was that it would be quieter than having someone in a room above us. That turned out to be a bad idea - it was the noisiest room I think I could've picked with crashing and dragging noises throughout much of the night. So a word to the wise - don't pick a room under the galley.
The embarkation experience went pretty smooth - especially with the Faster to the Fun package with an appointment time. I think we made it on board in record time, I'd be surprised if it took 20 minutes from the time we walked into the cruise center until we put our carry ons in our cabin.
Cabin Review
Ocean View
Cabin was a bit dated but the ship is older. It seemed to be kept clean and in good repair though. It is under the galley so it was usually very noisy from galley activities until 11:00 PM at night and started getting noisy again around 3:00 AM. It was nice to be on deck 7 (Empress) as the lobby bar was just down the hallway.
