Please consider submitting it to the site for publication as well: Click: Write a Review" Kelownabccan was awarded the badge 'Great Review' Wow.....had a great time.....did a family cruise and booked three cabins....two balcony and one inside across the hall from on of the balcony ones aft on deck 7.....very nice location.....quiet and not lots of traffic as only 5 cabins from the end of the hallway.....boy was the room steward a super person.....chatty, pleasant and did a fantastic job....seemed to have a radar system....knew when you were gone and snuck in....lol.... We lucked out.....6 days of hot sun and hardly any wind....even the day out of LA.....only poorish day was the last one heading back with a wild wind from the north and cloudy....so was fairly chilly.....even shut down the rope course and the bike race thing.....even the water slides were shut for a time....the water was cold....haha.... Food was great....loved the prime rib and lobster night....had both...lol.......figured the cost for the 7 of us in a normal restaurant would have been over $400 just for that dinner......so really good value ........even my 8 year old grand daughter had food she had never tired and loved it....frogs legs for "heavens sake" one night....the 6 year old...chomped on the squid one night and loved it also..... My wife and I actually were very surprised how much we liked the ship and the activities...as normally would not have picked this ship or cruise line but with the family they wanted a splash park and lots to do for the kids......we did not have the drink package but bought the new "wine Package" for 5 bottles....the wines we could pick were very good....no problems there....and brought two more on with us....so never really short on a drink before or with dinner..... Lucked out as with seven people gave us table 412 a round one....right at the window over the stern.....that was one of the best tables we had ever had on a cruise.....and the waiter...wow.....great and funny....he loved the two small kids....reminded him of his at home waiting for him to finish his contract.....no complaints there....got the table by finding the head "restaurant guy" the first day we got on and he organized it for us.....had early open seating.....5:30 ish.... Being from Canada....we flew into SNA....lovely airport and stayed overnight on Friday and then organized a shuttle from hotel to port and then back to airport on the Saturday morning......getting off the ship....super fast....did early get off with carry on.....got in line at 8;30.....at the parking lot to be picked up at 9;15....could not believe how fast it was....got to SNA before 10 and only bad part was having to wait 3 hrs to get our planes..... will try to answer some questions if I have time....lol.....being retired and all.....Thanks Carnival for a great time..... 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ninjacat123 Posted April 22 #3 Share Posted April 22 Lovely report! When my DDs were little, they would try anything Carnival had on the menu. Jumpy chicken (frog legs) was a favorite along with escargot. Your granddaughters made me think of that😻 Happy that you all had a great time!! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
