Review summary

The cruise overall was a great cruise, have been on 7 or 8 cruises mostly carnival and RCL the ship was old was in good shape for a 90's model. Lot of people from the south one guess the Florida  people used it as their vacation..  all of the people that work and run ship very nice and talk with you anytime. Shows were some of the better ones I have seen, Calivyn cruise director different type than I have seen, but still ran things good. cowboy comedian keep me rolling  very good. Food was good as always something I didn't care for, still had a good taste. If you're looking for a cruise without many kids this is not the one to go on, all were good kids. If you want a five day cruise at a reasonable price this is a good cruise

Cabin / Stateroom

cabin was clean had a flat screen tv, This was first inside we had done in a while had plenty of room for two, kids in another room . Only thing complaint I have is cabin is in front of ship and anytime they use the front motors to turn it's loud sometimes shakes the room, but that was only in cayman and tampa return

being from Florida I agree, it is a great quick getaway. The Paradise will be my 6th cruise in 14 months and already booked on the Fantasy for December

Just got off the Inspiration Friday. To many kids and rookie cruisers. Food was horrible, the MDR wait staff was clueless. The ship for being older was in good shape and clean. To loud and not nearly enough to do on sea days. Overall FAIL! We got what we paid for.

I enjoyed reding about your Carnival Cruise that overall was a good cruise.  I have been on Carnival with Calvyn as a Cruise director, also. Good to know that the shows are still good on Carnival..  Thanks for writing your first review on this site.
