Carnival Imagination Review
Rating by category
Additional details
Hello,
I have been doing cruise reviews on Cruise Critic for a few years. This was my 8th Carnival Cruise and I have also cruised NCL one time. Although I enjoy Carnival, I do critique what I see and my overall experience in hopes the cruise line and future passengers may benefit. I tend to cover multiple captions and I hope that my experience is helpful to you.
I took this same cruise in Sept 09 and have a review posted if you want to compare. After such a great experience last year I really wanted to take this cruise again. I did enjoy the shorter 4 day, but with some reservations this time around. This time I was traveling with 7 other people so I was expecting a different cruise experience. We chose this trip as a quick get-a-way and the price was too good to pass up. The IMAGINATION is really a nice ship and very easy to navigate. This could be because it is a smaller ship I think there may have been some additions to the signage on the ship, or perhaps I just noticed them more this time around, not sure.
Cabin Review
Ocean View
OV R192 mid ship.... The setup and positioning of the beds this cruise really made the room seem larger. One bed was under the pull down and the other bed along the far wall under the window. Shift your beds like this it just seemed to create a lot of space. NO FRIDGE, but I knew that. This is your typical stateroom; 2 beds, pull down bunk and located in a perfect part of the ship. SAFE, 32" flat screen TV, room light switches at the bed, water and soda to purchase in the room. Two robes hanging in the closet. Conveniently located made moving around the ship simple. COMPLIMENTARY BATHROOM BASKET included his/her Razor, toothpaste, Pantene-RED color enhancer, some upset stomach packets (like TUMS), bar soap and I think make-up removing wipes? Shower: Shampoo & Liquid Soap (I brought shampoo w/conditioner, a travel Lysol spray)
