This is the second cruise my family has taken. Our first was on Carnival Paradise in 2002. Our daughter was only three and had fun then, but this time she had a blast! She was nearly 13 at the time of sailing. I don't know why we waited this long to go back! Will definitely noy make that mistake again! Cruising is what YOU make of it and you have to be flexible, but it it so relaxing & fun!

Port Canaveral-Easy port to get to and embarkation was crazy fast! We got there early and enjoyed lunch outside on the Lido Deck, then started exploring the ship. Tip: Wear comfy clothing & shoes and you can sunbathe, explore, etc. until you get your luggage.

Rooms-We had a very nice cabin with an outside window. Gave great views pulling into port & the waves crashing in the ocean at night. It was a deluxe stateroom that had an extra shower/bathroom sink area. That was really nice since you are all getting showers after a day in port. Read more
