Review summary

This was my first cruise and I had a wonderful experience. I was warned not to cruise with Carnival but chose to do so anyway. I'm happy I ignored the negative comments because they were all wrong! The food was wonderful and the bed was more comfortable than a four star hotel's bed. The workers really engage with the cruisers and will go out of their way to make sure you're happy. Ace and Trinidad were our AWESOME waiters. I'm glad we were placed with them. They typically only have water and wine readily available in the dining room. I requested lemonade and Trinidad was happy to oblige me. The next evening, he had the lemonade waiting for me. I highly recommend cruising with Carnival. If you decide to do so, be sure to find a cruise with a live concert!

Trinidad and Ace were wonderful! Trinidad kept us laughing and Ace kept us entertained with parlor tricks. I never had to wait on drinks or food and they never complained about our requests.

We departed from Port Canaveral in Orlando. Since we flew in, we got a hotel close to the MCO airport. We stayed at the Renaissance Orlando Airport Hotel which was great. The only negative was that the hotel charges for Wifi. I definitely recommend using Hotwire.com to book your hotel though. It really brings down the 4 star hotel prices. Have fun!

Thank you everyone for the comments also! I will definitely be cruising again; possibly even next year. Yes ma'am, "Billiken," I only use honey!

Thanks for the positive comments. I am going in Feb 2016 to the Bahamas. Any suggestions on hotels in Miami?

I heartily agree! Cruised on Cunard, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Princess and MCS and enjoyed them all. Have had (knock on wood) only one problem on Carnival in the 23 cruises with them and it was handled pleasantly and quickly. Could be the attitude people have when they complain. Things can certainly go wrong, but you can still catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.

Welcome to the world of cruising. Thanks for posting your first review here. I enjoyed reading about how wonderful your first cruise went on a Carnival ship. I cruise on Carnival many times and I always enjoy the experience. I hope that more cruises are in your future.
