Review summary

As always, the service was excellent. I recommend purchasing the 'Faster to the Fun' add-on to get you on board faster, along with other perks!

We also really enjoyed the Chef's Table ($75 each, but well worth it).

We also went on two Carnival Excursions: Grand Cayman - Catamaran to Sting Ray City, and then in Cozumel - Mystic River and snorkeling. Both worth every penny.

I can't wait to cruise with Carnival again!

One of the best rooms we've ever had! The pool is above the room, so sometimes you can hear chairs being moved around, but overall it wasn't an issue.

It also guarantees your room is ready upon boarding. So if you get on the ship at 11, your room will be available to you, also your bags get priority to your room as well. Priority tendering in those ports as well. As mentioned above priority boarding. Behind diamond, platinum and suites. Also priority disembark. So if you like to put your bags out the night before you will be in category 1

Luggage in room early, (after Platinum and Diamond) getting on board faster and can go to dedicated customer service. We purchase in order to stay close to our travel companions (who are Platinum) getting on and off until we are Platinum ourselves in Oct 2017. They do wait with us until Diamonds are allowed on and we don't abuse the perk.

We were in a long line to get off the ship and a group went past us so we followed them and they went through maintenance areas and places you never see on the ship and we got off the ship quick! We had not heard about FTTF before, but I'm sure that's what it was!!!!
