This is going to be a LONG review so if you want to skip you wont hurt my feelings!! I really truly do not understand all the hate reviews for this ship. We found it to be amazing!!! Granted we're pretty easy to please since we are not at work but still!

We received an email the Monday before we sailed asking us to not show up to the port until between 1230 and 100 due to disembarkation issues. Odd but ok.

We flew out of SLC into IAH the day before the cruise and stayed at the Marriott hotel there in the airport in an M Club room. Cannot begin to say how much we enjoyed this hotel, location and amenities!!! We arrived at 11 that morning and we had a room waiting for us as well as some breakfast still left in the club. So nice to get some food after getting up at 3am to get to the airport!!! We took an Uber from the hotel to an Outback Steakhouse and holy moley we took our lives in our hand with our driver Bertha. Never given 1 star on an Uber driver but man it was scary!!! Found the people at the steakhouse that worked there very nice but the patrons were so RUDE!!!! Pretty much everyone we encountered from Texas on this trip were very rude (but then there was a really rude woman from N Dakota telling the poor Carnival worker off so it's not just Texas) but man rude rude rude rude rude! This theme continued through the entire cruise Read more
