It was wonderful! The room service was the best I have ever experienced!

Ship tip

There is a special area for adults only (Serenity), it was wonderful but you have to get there early to get a lounge chair.

We had two teens with us that had a great time in Club O2 until the pizza making party. They were two of the last to leave. The pizza chef practically had them in tears yelling at them about how many pizzas were left sitting by the other teens. A kids party on a cruise is not the place to lecture about world hunger.

I am glad many of you seemed to enjoy the cruise. We just got off on Saturday and we were not happy with anything on the ship other than the dining room staff and the bar tenders. Embarkation and debarkation went very smoothly as well. The food on the Lido Deck just sucked. It is possibly some of the worst food we have eaten anywhere.

I wasn't meaning that negatively. I responded to the wrong text. Some people were bashing not Carnival about how boring, how bad the food was, the service etc.

Well I didn't look to feel as I did nor go through what I experienced. It was what it was and I had no control. The plan was to have a great experience. One out of five days I had a great time.

Oh wow!!! That's a long cruise. Sounds exciting, This was my first I think I should have started with a 3 day. Those 5 days were long for me but every one that went with me had a blast. I was told it gets better with each cruise so I will try it again. The crew, I agree are fantastic on the fantasy.
