Review summary

I was expecting a very small ship, but it felt big. It did seem like the ship skimped on somethings. No refrigerator in the room, the buffet didn't have little cups for the syrup or honey, the main show had bad singers. I did have a good cruise and the food was good.

Rented a golf cart an drove around for an hour. Then went shopping for an hour. After shoping we went back to the ship for lunch.

There are no refrigerators on either ship unless maybe in a suite. I have been many times in an ocean view on Imagination and never had a fridge, just an ice bucket.

We just got off the imagination and we thought the diva show was good. We were in an inside rm and no refrigerator. We brought a small drink carrier. Food in dining room was wonderful. Stayed away from buffet.

On Inspiration and Imagination I always have had a refrigerator, except one time when I had an interior romm. Did you have had an interior room? They used to have little carafes for syrup, but it is such a waste of products. People filling them up and not using it. I miss them too. Bad singers? All of them? If they were bad they wouldn't be working. They could be a little less Broadway than you were expecting. Maybe the show just wasnt choreographed properly.

I had a much better experience on the Carnival Splendor

This was are first cruise and I think it was a great way to learn about cruises. LOVE the crew and the friendly others also taking the cruise.
