Arthur was the best and how he remember all our names is amazing. Our room was cleaned to perfection everyday. Arthur tended to us at all times And made sure we were satisfied. Thank you Arthur

Ship tip

If you have the cheers package ask for bottle water in the di I g room or bar BEFORE you go to Your too. At night. The bottle water in your room is $3.95

Midnite chocolate bar used to be a staple, now rarely seen.

Have to talk to Carnival if the proper past cruises are not showing up on your cruise card.

Not all of the ships have a midnight chocolate buffet, be each ship usually has some sort of midnight buffet. My favorite was on RC, when they had a midnight BBQ at the pool. Really fun. Midnight chocolate buffets are very yummy...

We've only been on one cruise. I didn't know anything about the chocolate buffet. Will have to check it out in November on our next cruise!!

The Fantasy class is definitely smaller, but it works great for short cruises. I use this cruise to introduce new people to cruising, it's smaller and less overwhelming. Plus it's perfect for my quick getaway. Regarding the missing cruises, just call customer service and they can help you.

Just as it is described. It's a chocolate dessert buffet, put up at midnight.

What is the "midnight chocolate bar"?

The Inspiration is a Fantasy Class ship. Definitely smaller than the other classes. With that said, it's much easier to navigate the decks and find things in a shorter amount of time. Which is perfect for the shorter cruises that it runs. When you say "your card showed only two" cruises, do you mean you had a red card instead of gold? If that's the case, you should contact Carnival and get your cruise history updated.
