Just spent 12 days on this grand ship, Southern Caribbean. I was not disappointed. The food was good and the ship was clean. This is my second time on her and hope to sail on her again soon.
January 2019 - 3 Night Bahamas (Port Canaveral Roundtrip) Cruise on Carnival Liberty
This is my favorite class and the Liberty doesn't disappoint. This was my 4th sailing on her and I am sailing her again in May. I do wish she did more tha. The 3 and 4 day cruises. An excuse for a B2B though.
December 2018 - 5 Night Western Caribbean (Mobile Roundtrip) Cruise on Carnival Fantasy
Even though it is the oldest ship in the fleet I was satisfied with my experience. This was my second cruise on the Fantasy and Marty the CD and the whole crew made it an amazing 5 day cruise. The only drawback is the lack of ventilation to evacuate the odor of cigarette smoke that permeates the upper decks and staircase by the casino.

December 2017 - 3 Night Bahamas (Port Canaveral Roundtrip) Cruise on Carnival Liberty
Just got off of the Liberty to a chilly 42 degrees in Port Canaveral after a great 3 day cruise. The ship was beautifully decorated for Christmas.and Donkey the CD was great. The food was good and the shows were great especially "America Rocks" The cast did an amazing job. The ship was kept clean and the staff was friendly. I look forward to cruising on her again in the future.
November 2017 - 7 Night Eastern Caribbean (Charleston Roundtrip) Cruise on Carnival Sunshine
Just completed a B2B on the Sunshine. A 5 day followed by a 7 day. Really liked the layout and amenities the ship had to offer especially the Serenity area. Two things kept it from being a 5 star. There was not enough deck space and you had to claim a chair early on Sea Days if you wanted to be on deck. The second thing was with the addition of rooms when they made it the Sunshine from the Destiny they didnt make the Liquid Lounge bigger. So the shows filled up quickly. Will definately look at booking this Ship again.
October 2017 - 5 Night Bahamas (Charleston Roundtrip) Cruise on Carnival Sunshine
September 2017 - 5 Night Western Caribbean (Mobile Roundtrip) Cruise on Carnival Fantasy
This was my first port hole cabin and being that close to the bow. Overall it wasn't as bad as some people make it out to be. Other than when the bow thrusters were running I didn't notice a difference. The Fantasy itself, even for an older ship, was satisfactory.

November 2015 - 5 Night Bahamas (Jacksonville Roundtrip) Cruise on Carnival Fascination
This was my first cruise on one of the smaller ships and I must say I found it slightly more relaxing than the larger Breeze. The ship was clean and food was good.

Cruise tips
Carnival Horizon
The Havana Cabana is the way to go. I wasn’t sure I would like the fact that people would be walking by our balcony area but little traffic just those with balcony’s in that area.
Whale watching was more than I expected. We started out touring the arch and eye to the Pacific. Then on to the whales. Wow, an incredible display we got to witness. 3 different pair or whales were breaching all around us.

Parking was a snap and the convenience to the terminal made embarkation a snap. We pulled in at about 1030am walked in, got through security, got our sail and sign cards, and we were boarding by 1130. And debarkation was just as easy and uneventful. Great Port.
This was my first time out of JAX. I found the embarkation process smooth going and non stressful. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The only drawback is only the one ship here.
Okay the only reason this lort is getting a single star is they actually got us on the ship. It did not matter to them if you were there on time or before your slotted show rime they sent everyone in at one time. Priority boarding didnt matter back of the line. Very disorganised and no manners by staff.
This is by far the most efficient port I have used as far as convenience of parking, clearing security, and the boarding process. And the speed at which we got off the ship and back on the road.
