Imagination 12/18-12/23 review

[kansas kruiser]

Airport- Arrived in plenty of time, Carnival staff really helped get us thru the airport and onto the shuttle bus.

 

Embarkation- Went real smooth, the lines were long but was only in line about 15 minutes, When we got our sail and sign cards found out they had us for the early dining but we requested the late, went right to the Matri-D and with a few changes got it changed!

 

Dinner- Tried something different each night some was ok but most was excellant, Our group dressed in Dockers and collared shirt and the girls wore dresses, other diners were dressed better and others were dressed more casual but didn't see t-shirts or shorts!

 

Shows- went to some and they were good not the best but make the best with what is on the ship, The karoke bar was as good as any, really good singers!

 

Casino- Spent some time in there played mainly "21" did ok, I was up for awhile but still ended up down. Still met some really fun people there.

 

Day one- Fun day at sea started out raining in the morning but cleared up and was beautiful, Our day was on the lido deck enjoyed all of the actitives. We enjoyed the fun and sun because at this time back home they were preparing for a bad snow storm, too bad for them!

 

Day two- Grand Cayman- Got our tender number at 8:30 but didn't get called until 10:30, some didn't get off ship until 12:30, they kept blaming the slow tenders because off all the ships in port. Don't know if that was the problem but they need to get it fixed quickly! Anyway we had to enjoy what time we had and went to seven mile beach and spent some time playing in the water, then went downtown and the girls went shopping and us guys went to Margiritaville and had a few drinks had fun there, but drinks were high dollar! Then had to get back to the ship, there was quite a line for the tender but got back in plenty off time. I still like Grand Cayman and will give it another try but fix those tenders!

 

Day three- Ocho Rios- We went to Dunns river falls and really enjoyed it the guides knew what the were doing, But watch out after you are thru because the vendors will really try to hook you so just keep on walking and don't stop! Then went on a tour off the rain forest the country was really beautiful. Then downtown for shopping they weren't as bad but you still need to be careful. Ocho Rios was OK!

 

Day four- Fun day at sea, Spent it on the lido deck again, and even joined in on the games, I was on the losing end of the pool relay race:mad: but it still was alot of fun!

 

Day five- disembarkation went smooth also, maybe because our flight wasn't until the next day so we weren't in a hurry. Got thru customs and Carnival staff was there to get you on the right shuttle bus.

 

Overall even some things didn't go very well you can't let it ruin your whole trip and I didn't! This was my 4th Carnival cruise and it will not be my last!:cool:

Thanks for your review. Don't see to many for the Imagination,we sail on 2/3/07 and cannot wait.I have just a couple of questions. Were there hair dryers in the cabins? and how long did it take to get from the airport to the pier? Thanks for your help.

No there weren't any hair dryers in my cabins I had an inside 1A, some had said there are dryers in the suites. As far as getting from airport to ship it was about 15 minutes. If there are anymore questions feel free to ask.:cool:
