SadieN Posted February 11, 2014 #2 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Here's my review of the 1/26 cruise http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1984056&highlight=imagination and there are a few others since she started sailing on the West Coast. She does not have the drinks package and will be starting the new menus soon in the MDR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitsunegari Posted February 11, 2014 #3 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Aethetically, she's a beautiful ship, with dark tones. One of our favorites, we sailed her 2 times in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
092306 Posted February 14, 2014 #4 Share Posted February 14, 2014 We love the Imagination and had two of great cruises on her. It's a small ship, but we never felt crowded or like we were missing something. Very enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering what you like or dislike about her? other question is do they have the drinks package ? I see she has the 2.0 and would like to purchase a drinks package if possible We sail on Feb. 20th. The price was too good to pass up. Hope the food is good. Otherwise I know what to expect. Taking to locally offered tour to the blowhole. Been there many times, always a fun trip. Edited February 14, 2014 by joeyancho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayMo Posted February 14, 2014 #9 Share Posted February 14, 2014 One of my favorites :) Clean and some of the best, nicest and interactive crew I've ever seen. Enjoy your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyancho Posted February 14, 2014 #11 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Princess, just looked up the weather for Ensenada on the day we are there. It says it will be 70 degrees. A little cool, since the temp here at home will be85 today. Hope it warms up a bit. Do you have an excursion planned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ethel813 Posted February 14, 2014 #13 Share Posted February 14, 2014 My favorite of all Carnival ships. Small and easy to maneuver. I was so sorry when she left Miami ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgie562 Posted February 14, 2014 #14 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) Old and beat up. :p Old yea! but beat up? Maybe some normal wear and tear. OP, the Imagination is not fully 2.0. No rum bar, no tequila bar, no alchemy bar, no guys burger. Shes OK for a quick getaway but not too much to rave about Edited February 14, 2014 by Georgie562 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GROUCHPUSS Posted February 14, 2014 #15 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Just off her in the Jan, enjoyed the cruise very much. But if I were you I would not do ATD you maybe waiting 45min just for a table at peak times. we did late dinning and loved it. Also yo will have one of Carnivals best Piano Bar entertainers on board Marty Gast so make sure you stop my the Piano Bar he is a lot of fun.

(Truthfully,not sarcastically) On the other Fantasy class ships I've sailed on the west coast with ATD the line has never reached the elevators. Even during peak hours.

xbatt8 Posted February 14, 2014 #17 Share Posted February 14, 2014 We did ATD right after SadieN and we had no trouble. Based on her intel, I went to change it to late dining on the first day (citing the long lines on the previous cruise) and the Maitre d' assured me that we would be fine. As it turns out, we were fine because he must have reserved a table for us. Didn't matter when we showed up, the 3 of us got the same table each night. Maybe it was because he wanted to impress me on my Milestone cruise, or maybe he didn't want me to cite the long lines as my reason for changing dining rooms. Either way, I wasn't too proud to accept his offer. :) That being said, we never saw the line any longer than half way round to the elevators, and it moved pretty quickly.

AspenRed Posted February 14, 2014 #18 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I loved the Imagination. It's the first ship I sailed on this past October. As a newbie cruiser, it was easy to navigate. The food was good and the staff was awesome. My experience might be different as it was a charter cruise and not a regular cruise. I had a great time and now I'm hooked on cruising!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
