The crew and entertainment make up for the shortcomings of this older ship

Carnival Inspiration

A smaller ship has its benefits: It was easier to get on, get off, find a deck chair, and find a chair at the shows. But this is an older ship, it is worn on the edges, had some bed smells, and had a funky cabin ...
