I think 3 night cruises, especially if over a weekend, are party cruises on any cruise line. During the week should be better.

Perhaps they still have the recipe?

Good to know. Thanks.

Was on the Inspiration once before but that was at least a dozen years ago and it was great. Will have to see how much of the ship I remember and what has changed.

I wish I knew how to make it because we loved it.

Perhaps it is in one of the Carnival cookbooks or maybe John Heald posted a recipe.

I prefer to let others do the cooking and cleaning so just book another Carnival cruise when in need of a serious cheesecake fix. :)

Congratulations. You'll have a great time.

The roast beef and cheddar is pretty darned tasty.

On the back of the room service menus I've seen is the Good To Know page with lots of information that is, well good to know. Don't be in such a rush to throw things away.

If missing from your cabin ask you cabin steward or guest services for one. It's easy.

Not all of Carnival ships have room service ordering via the TV.

As the OP thanks to all who left their comments I appreciate your time and advice.

 

The crowds don't bother me, our family usually sails at Christmas so full cruise ships never with tons of kids never really bother me.

 

I was just concerned with the low 58% approval rating on CC of this ship, I mean thats below failing.

 

FYI I called CCL and expressed my concerns and they will allow me to change ships without losing any money at all. Nice! However, I have not made up my mind yet on what to do.

 

We chose this cruise because we want to go to Paradise Island over the July 4th holiday, any other CCL suggestions on "better" ships?

 

Thanks again, PG

There is nothing wrong with your original plan.

That Carnival will allow you to switched demonstrates great customer service and confidence in their product offerings.

Two people can be on the same cruise and have completely different experiences. I rarely read reviews and never take any with more than a grain of salt and often less.

It's not NY cheesecake. It's Italian cheesecake and contains ricotta, which is much lighter than cream cheese.

I like it :)

It is tasty.

How is the ship, Captain and crew? Anyone cruised on Inspiration this year? Okay, how about recently?

Jaime is a phenomenal cruise director and came from the Dream.

I think eventually Carnival will follow the trend and ban smoking on balconies.

thanks for the video..too bad it wasn't in slow motion so we could see it...lol

Mystery Meat = Salmon Cake Thing

would be my guess.

1st Elegant Night. aka Lobster Night.

RCCL knows how to take care of suite passengers. With Carnival, nothing but bigger roomsvand priority embarkation and debarkation. Love RCCL for the suite perks. Love CCL for the value in family cruising. Pretty diverse!

Someone who gets it. :)

Happy Happy Happy New Year, Bob. Enjoy the bountiful entertainment. :)

Not all reviews are bad. Many are quite favorable. I would take all with a grain of salt and enjoy your cruise. I've never had a bad one.

Are you refreshing or using the voting ballot?

I sure hope I don't have any counters break!

Using a macro, but it seems to break now and then so need to restart. :confused:

But about time to party!

Happy New Year!

Looks like the start of a great cruise on Carnival Sunshine.

Hope the counter doesn't overflow. :cool:

Don't think tablecloths have much impact, if any, on noise. Looking forward to trying it.

Carnival's still not in the lead in the some categories. :eek:

 

If you really want them to win in everything get everyone you know to vote!

 

I agree and I love warm chocolate melting cake! :)

They will be. :D

Piece of Warm Chocolate Melting Cake...

I'm thinking Carnival will be a clear winner in every category!

How is the entertainment?

Most excellent!
