'Mode': AROUND
Category: Ship/Boat
Getting TO/AROUND: Embarkation: Lines were long but moved swiftly. When we mentioned that our luggage had been lost by our airline, our processor asked for the lost baggage claim, copied it and said Carnival would take over expediting getting our lost luggage to our first port. He said they would work with the airline for us. From that time on the purser's office handled it. They could not have treated us better. When we told them the next day that our suits/dresses were in the missing luggage, they gave us vouchers to rent tuxes (yes, they had a woman's tux) for free. They called our cabin to report progress (or lack of it) by the airline in finding our luggage. They sent letters from the purser explaining the luggage had not been found and how much they regretted it. We felt Carnival did a 1st class job & went out of their way to ensure we had a great vacation Keep in mind that Carnival had nothing to do with the airline booking/lost bags. I booked the air separately from the cruise.
Cabin: We had booked a guaranteed cabin w/balconey and obstructed view but were most pleased to be upgraded to a non-obstructed view cabin on the same deck Our cabin was slightly larger than anticipated. It was clean and well kept during our entire cruise. The bath was larger than anticipated. The balconey was quite small but very nice
Dining: Our table in the Empire Dining room was at the very back of the ship against a large porthole window. The food was very good to excellent. The service was excellent and our waiters were most entertaining at times. The buffet style food on the Lido deck was...buffet style. While some of it was very tasteful, everything was just mildly warm.
Entertainment: Most all of the evening shows were very good to excellent. The exception was the comedy routines. They were fair to not so fair.
Spa/Gym: The gym was most impressive. We used the steam rooms and both enjoyed them.
Ports: Please see our sections on Panama, Belize and Cozumel
We highly recommend Carnival.
