WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!! by
Phillis A. from Castalian Springs, TN
Sailing date: Oct 2009 Pros:
The dining staff was great on all levels. The shows were excellent!!!!!
Cons:
Guest services didn't have enough staff to help and Shore excursions desk was not staffed a lot of the time. Even when they were they were not very pleasant or helpful
Can't wait to go again!! I took 2 of my grandchildren ages 14 and 9. They had a very good time. Matt in Club O2 was great. He kept control but the children still had a very good time. The boat was very clean and everything was nice. The dining staff was so accommidating and friendly. Anything we asked for was right there. Room service was great also. Boris, our dining room waiter, was the BEST!! Overall rate the trip a BIG 10-plus-plus
Ship Quality Interior of Atrium area was a little dark on the upper levels with the dark tiles.
Dining/Food Dining staff GREAT Very Friendly and FUN Good dancers also
Stateroom Quality Our room steward, Ronito, was very friendly and very accommidating. If we needed anything he was right there with it! Our room was very nice as well.
Ship Staff Quality As stated above --they are a 10 plus-plus
Entertainment & Activities The shows in the Paris Lounge were unbelievable!!! The band, singers and dancers were fantastic! The couple that did the ballet type dancing were amazing. I also met them on the elevator and they were so sweet!!!!
Children's Programs As above, Matt in Club O2 was great. I felt very secure letting my granddaughter go to her group. My grandson, Cody is 9 and he got to his club on the last day but he loved it. he made good friends inthere. I am sure when we go again he will go to his club from day1

Carnival Inspiration by
Nga L from Orlando,fl
Sailing date: Aug 2009 Pros:
Satifies with most things
Cons:
the offer of pictures unfairly
My kids love activities on the ship.
My husband loves casinos.
The services at the room were excellent.
The food and service were excellent.
The pictures were beautiful but the offer was unfair for us. We bought quite a few pictures then couple days later they offer better deal for the exactly the same types. They offer buying three of the pictures get a free 4X6 album and free ship picture on the last day. We bought total 6 pictures and we didn't get any a free album. That's make me unhappy at last. This unfairly offer make me upset. Next time I will tell my friends and family not to buy any pictures until see the best deal.

"A Get Away For Two" by
Brenda S from Savannah Ga
Sailing date: Jun 2009 Pros:
The service
Cons:
The lights flicking on and off during the night woke me up
This was our first cruise on the inspiration. Boy were we ever pleased, the service was wondeful, the people treated us like royalty. We had a wonderful trip from the beginning until the end. I would take this cruise again.

Very Impressed by
A Traveler from Orlando, Florida
Sailing date: May 2009 Pros:
Dining
Cons:
A little too much noise
We had cruised with Carnival before but did not enjoy it that much, anyway we needed a break and this was a very good offer so decided to try again. We were very pleased with our cabin, it was a good size and was kept very clean.
The dining room was great and the staff excellent, we were made to feel very welcome and the added bonus of the waiting staff entertaining us every night just made it a great experience.

Relaxing, just what the doctor ordered! by
Carol K from Cincinnati, OH
Sailing date: May 2009 Pros:
Lots of stress in our lives & we were able to decompress
Cons:
We had PERFECT weather, however, the ship might be a little small if everyone had to stay inside
Our trip was a last minute decision that we would do again & again. The staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. Whoever was in charge of the weather should get a bonus! Interior was clean & decor fresh. Overall it was just what the doctor ordered, relaxing & a great strees releiver.
Ship Quality Ship was great, our only concern would have been if the weather was inclement the ship might have been crowded.
Dining/Food Wait staff at dinner was GREAT!
Stateroom Quality I am a cleanliness freak & appreciated how nice they kept our room.
Ship Staff Quality
Entertainment & Activities Some better then others. Really liked the coordinator.

The Carnival Inspiration is a great ship by
Bob Jonell from Atlanta, GA
Sailing date: May 2009 Pros:
Entertainment was great
Cons:
Too much hot water!
This was a 5 night cruise to Cozumel and Grand Cayman. Cozumel was cancelled due to swine flu problems- so it was 2 nights in Grand Cayman. We were supposed to have 2 ports-that did not happen. We had to leave at night and come back the next day- so no night dive was possible on this cruise.
We did not get any onboard credit either.
Ship Quality We had about 2600 people on the cruise on board. A smaller ship than others- still a good ship however.
Dining/Food Restaurant help was fantastic. Most of the food was very good
Stateroom Quality Room was fine- small, but you dont stay there very often.
Ship Staff Quality Staff went above and beyond on this trip
Entertainment & Activities Very good entertainemtn nightly
Children's Programs O2 Club kept our 17 year old son busy. Good idea
Collapse List of Ports
George Town, Grand Cayman Grand Cayman and surrounding water is beautiful. Swim with the dolphins, go on a pirate ship. feed the rays, go scuba diving- this is the place to be.
Don't Miss: Swimming with the dolphins is the least cost here we have seen in the Carribean

Great cruise by
Sarina G from Clifton, NJ
Sailing date: Apr 2009 Pros:
The crew staff was wonderful and very helpful
The cruise was great, there was plenty of things to do on the ship when you were out to sea. The rooms were clean, and very comfortable. Plenty of activities on the ship for young as well as the older crowd.
Ship Quality The crew kept the ship spotless, everything was accessbile.
Dining/Food The food was great, there was a great variety, and more than enough to eat. If you were still hungry, (which was most unlikely) you could order another entree, with no problem. The waiters/waitresses are very friendly and accomodating, and did not annoy you while you were eating, but always had time to cater to your every wish.
Stateroom Quality You will not miss your bed, the mattresses and pillows were very comfortable. It was like sleeping on a cloud, the room was always clean, and chocalte was there to greet you every day when you came back to your room. Pleanty of clean towels, and ice in the baucket without even asking. Very accomodating.
Ship Staff Quality Ship Staff was excellent, they went out of their way to please you, and treated you like you were the only person on that ship. You asked for something and literally you had it in your hands within seconds. The ship's crew always had a smile on their face whether it was 6am or 2am.
Entertainment & Activities The shows were great, they had at least one to two shows a night. The music was great, and the comedians were also very funny. The magician was astounding. Very enjoyable.
