Review of the upgrades to the Carnival Inspiration from an agent's recent trip
Review of the upgrades to the Carnival Inspiration from an agent's recent trip


"I just returned from a great 4 night cruise on the Inspiration. This was my first Carnival cruise & I went with an open mind on how it would all go. At the end of the 4 nights it was difficult to find any real negatives. I actually mentioned to my husband after the cruise; we never heard one complaint by any passengers on board the ship!.that is so unusual!! I generally do not write reviews but I felt that my experience may be helpful. TAMPA PORT: Flawless; never a line at the airport or the port; we boarded the ship immediately. A taxi ride from TPA to the port is $22 one way; very convenient. The airport employee at the taxi stand actually said to us, "welcome to Tampa International, least busiest airport in the world". INSPIRATION: The ship was recently refurbished; you would never know this ship was built over 10 years ago. The new water slides toward the aft of the ship were a huge hit for all ages!! The cabins were spacious (ocean view), clean and the beds very comfortable. The pool area had all new lounge chairs & a covered stage. The pool never seemed too crowded, pool & deck chairs were always available. FOOD: The food was the best I have had on a cruise in a few years; not only in the dining rooms but also at the buffet. SERVICE: From the cabin steward to the shore excursion desk and all in between, the service was impeccable. ENTERTAINMENT: We saw a few shows and they were very entertaining and enjoyable. The singers/dancers were great! If I had to find any thing negative it would be-.the cruise lines have improved the "layout" of the newer ships. The Inspiration at times was a little difficult to get around; I would have to change elevators to get to different decks. The life boats were an obstruction to your ocean view by the pool area"
