Awesome Carnival Imagination Cruise by Mohan G from Columbus,OH
Sailing date: Jun 2011

Pros:
Excellent service, great food and Family friendly environment

Cons:
none

We went on 4 nights 5 day's cruise from June 13th thru 17th. It was an Excellent experience. Carnival exceeded our expectations in every aspect. Staff was excellent. Room Steward and Dining room server were very friendly and took care excellently. They had fabulous dining rooms along with LIDO deck ( which is more informal buffet ). Food was excellent. They had countless number of items to satisfy everybody's hunger. We were 3 families travelled together with kids ages ranging from 5 thru 12. Everybody had a great time. I would rate this vacation as 5 STAR. I recommend this Cruise to everybody.

Fabulous cruise! by Megan H. from Enon OH
Sailing date: Mar 2011

Pros:
Very nice dinners, excellent staff, fun things to do.

Cons:
We thought the shows were kind of silly. We wished that there was an adult pool.

I thought that the ship was very nice. The workers were constantly cleaning. There was plenty of space. I thought that the grand atrium seemed a little bit dated. Although it was pretty, I feel that they could renovate it to look more modern. Overall, very nice an clean. This was my fifth cruise, and it was my favorite one that I have been on.

Everyone from the bartenders to the Matre D' went above and beyond all the time for us. They were very friendly and very kind. Our steward in our stateroom was wonderful as well. Many people called us by name, and that was very welcoming.

We particpated in Karaoke which was very fun. We actually wished that the ship offered that each night, because we enjoyed it more than the shows that the cruise staff put on. The family friendly comedian was hilarious.

First timers best time ever by A Traveler from Dallas, Tx
Sailing date: Aug 2010

Pros:
the food

Cons:
leaving

I was always afraid of sailing on a cruise ship for many reasons. This year I turned 40 and wanted to break out of my fears. I asked the kids where would they like to go for vacation if they could go anywhere they choose. My oldest stated she wanted to take a Disney Cruise. My youngest stated that he wanted to go to Mexico. I combined their choices along with my own and came up with a Carnival Cruise. We had just visited Disney World and I had been to Mexico several times. So, if I could take a short cruise to a beach i've never been, on a ship with kid friendly activities what would it be. Carnival Imagination!. This was a wonder trip for myself and my kids. I was able to enjoy relaxation while knowing they were enjoying themselves. My fear of being on water was non existant. I took full advantage of the scheduled activites offered and enjoyed all of it. Thanks Carnival for a wonder first timer experience

want to go again!!!! by Stephanie M from Rocehster,NY
Sailing date: Jun 2010

Pros:
the atmosphere, it was so relaxing, everyone was friendly, and it was very clean!!!!

Cons:
There was always tons of little children in the pool, and it was hard to relax and enjoy it without kids splashing in your face.

I would recommend this ship over and over again!!! It is an addiction, once you go once you will want to go again and again. It was wonderful. So much to do, you were never bored. And if you wanted to be bored and lazy you could do that too! It is a ship for all ages and all people.

Dining/Food
Food was fantastic! Loved it. You could always find food to eat that you like. I a picky eater and food was hot and tasty. Loved it. The only thing I did not like was the coffee. 24/7 ice cream station and pizza station. You could dress up and have a "sit down" dinner or go to the buffet line. Perfect for kids and elderly people.

Size was fine for us (only 2 people) I just hope that there are bigger rooms for a bigger family! Bathroom was nice, not fancy but no mold or gross areas. There were a few times where the ship was very rocky, but I would just recommend some sea sickness pills.
