We sailed aboard the Carnival Imagination October 3-7 to Key West, Florida and Cozumel, Mexico. Overall, the cruise was fantastic. There was mostly good and some bad which I will try to address clearly in this review.
Embarkation: The Port of Miami is beautiful and well run. We were on the ship in 20 minutes. Nothing to complain about.
Food: The food on this cruise wasn't the best or the worst. There were definitely good dishes and some that weren't too great. I have seen better, but overall it was just fine. The buffet just doesn't work that well aboard this ship. It is extremely crowded and poorly lit. It is so dark and crowded which makes it an unpleasant experience. It really ruins your appetite fighting against hundreds of people acting like they are going to die for food.
Room U65 - a 6D category ocean view room:
This room is very quiet, but still located in a convenient location. There is plenty of storage space. The beds are wonderful. The view is great. The bathroom is small, but that is standard for a cruise ship. It is actually larger than some other cruise lines. The shower was great. One problem was there is absolutely no cold water, not even cool water. All you get is warm, if not hot. I don't know if this happens to every room. But, just a heads up. Overall, a great spacious well maintained stateroom. No reason not to book it.
