Family Dw (61),DD (40), DGD (8) Grandpa (62). I'm limited by COPD. This info will help to understand levels of cruise features.Family flew in to Houston from Michigan April 1st I drove in from Louisiana picked them up and off to Galveston.Friday in Houston at 3:30PM nuff saidWe stayed at the Bestwestern seawall which we find to be fine for overnight every time in Galveston.Saturday cruise day we used Lighthouse parking for the third time covered parking great service. Arrived at the terminal 11:00 AM used porters for luggage which is a must for me. Carnival provided wheel chair boarding for me and allowed rest of family to follow which was very fast on the Lido deck at 12:10 PM.My DGD is gluten intolerant and we spoke with Dining room hostess and arranged for her help everynight for next days meals for grand daughters meals. This was handled very well even with ATD and plenty of food on board that she could eat.I would say the food overall was good to very good and at the right amounts for our family's liking.The ship and crew are very well maintained and trained. Room steward was excellentkept my cooler drained and full of ice at all times.First port day family did Dzilbilchaltun ruins with Autoprogreso tours and had a great day.Second port day Cozumel was of to Chankanaab park and the Dolphin swim booked on our own before the change. This was a wonderful excursion for our grand daughter well worth the cost for a life time memory.Final sea day and off the ship weather was outstanding all week and sea weremoderate.I would say I think Carnival still provides a very good overall service for the cost.Overall a wonderful cruise and upon returning we stayed three days at the Casa del Mar in Galveston which we found to be perfect for the four of us the rooms are small condo type and very well located with two pools and a Kroger and Golden Coral you can walk to.
