This was our first cruise and we sailed on Carnival's Celebration out of Jacksonville, FL. Unloading and parking at the terminal was great. Easy unloading, lots of parking, and short walk to terminal. Boading was well organized and hassle-free. Our rooms were more than we expected and the cabin service was faultless. The rooms were alway clean and at night, we looked forward to the "towel creature" that was displayed on the bed (along with the chocolates!). The dining room service and food was first rate. I got just enough without having a pile of leftovers. The buffets on the Lido Deck allowed you to select simplier preparations and also take larger or smaller amounts as you desired. Pizza and soft-serve ice cream was available 24 hours a day. (My family misses the never ending ice cream). We all enjoyed the shows and on-board activities and games. The Cruise Director and his staff really made our trip fun. When we got home, our disembarking was just as easy as boarding. We decided to carry our bags off and it could not have been easier. From leaving our cabin to driving out of the parking lot was about 30 minutes. This included going through US Customs. I would recommend this cruise without hesitation and we will take it again.
