Carnival Imagination

Pros: Beautiful ports of call, affordable vacation
Cons: Ship too big and impersonal

A veteran of four cruises, this ship is the one I would least recommend in spite of it's beauty! But, if you've never been on a cruise - GO! If your vacation situation is anything like mine: I like to get dressed up and go to fancy restaurants and shows...

Pros: no pac king and unpacking all the time
Cons: bar bill at the end of cruise

A friend and I booked the Labor Day weekend cruise on the fun ship Imagination cruise to key west and cozumel through a singles site on the net. what a great time we both had. It was one big party from the time we boarded to the time we disembarked. This...

Pros: great staff service!,a lot of activities,mega food!
Cons: can be expensive for drinkers!,be certain about excursions,disembarking>ucck!

For the most part I'd say our cruise experience was a great one and it was our first cruise!!The staff certainly treated us well,and the two that come to mind the most were the room steward and the main waiter at our dinners nightly!Always right there to...

Pros: fun and parties
Cons: you tend to get lost

We cruised the Imagination the week before Thanksgiving in 1999. We departed from Miami. We stopped at the Cayman Islands and Jamaica. The cost just for the cruise was around $1,000 per person. It was the most wonderful experience I have ever had....

Pros: Great price, food good,weather perfect,ports great,entertainment super.
Cons: Carnival has gone to automatic charging of tips, service is taken for granted.

Debarkation was the best of our 18 cruises..embarkation was usual hurry up and wait. Ship was neat, good pool spacing and entertainment was as good as we have seen in the main show room..others left something to be desired.
In room movies were good,...

Pros: ummmm...entertainment, thats it
Cons: cabin, food, ship, embarkation, disembarkation, shore excursions, CUSTOMER SERVICE

I have been on 5 cruises, one Carnival and four Royal Caribbean. I decided to take a short cruise with my family on Carnival's Imagination, the 7/31/03 sailing. I was hoping for a good, relaxing getaway. That was far from what this cruise became. ...

Pros: Cheap cruise (but not even worth it)
Cons: Disembarkation a total mess, Cruise Director, lack of on-board activities, food- taste old.

We went on Carnival Imagination on 2/13/03, 4 day trip to Western Caribbean and it did not meet our expectations. This is our first time on Carnival, we've been to 7 cruises before- Celebrity, Holland America, RCCL, and Norwegian-- And Carnival...

Pros: Value, Midnight Buffet, Service
Cons: NONE!!

We just returned home after a 5 day cruise on Imagination and what a blast! This was our first cruise and I had spent countless hours reading reviews of Imagination..many of which were not positive, but, I can honestly say that our cruise was ...

Pros: Fun ship, great food, easy to navigate, always something to do.
Cons: Drinks are very weak and expensive!

Spring Break Cruise - March 19, 2005 Decided to take my youngest daughter (17) on a cruise for her spring break. We picked an inexpensive port hole window as our cabin but it happened to be the best spot on the ship. Great cabin near everything! ...

Pros: Great time at a great price. Very much worth it.
Cons: Day at the Sea events were a little weak and excursions are pricey.

The dates of the cruise were Dec 18th - Dec 22nd, departing Miami, FL. This was the first cruise I had ever been on and it was also the first for my girlfriend. It was a sort of Christmas vacation/celebration of my graduation last May and finding a ...

Pros: Great price!
Cons: Dated decor and smoky.

We received a fantastic deal on a balcony suite that could sleep our family of five, so we knew the price was too good to pass up. Our first experience, on another ship, was without the kids and in the pacific northwest, so this was our first warm...

Pros: Belize, bagels lasted until the last day
Cons: Embarkation mess, obvious attempts to save money at passengers expense

We've just about decided that our last cruise on Dec. 9th will be our last Carnival cruise. Embarkation is a bigger mess now than it was on our first Carnival cruise in 1996. Even though we got there early (approximately noon), we were at the back of...

Pros: Great Food; Decent Staterooms; Good Service.
Cons: Not Long Enough; Over-Expensive.

A Little About It
The Carnival Imagination was fun, a great experience. I wasn't sure what to expect and exactly what I'd be doing, but they plan so many activities every day is full one! Transportation was decent, taking us promptly to the...

Pros: Many activities, day and night!!!
Cons: not for weak stomachs!!!

Last March, my boyfriend and I went on an Eastern Carribean cruise with my mother and father on the Imagination ship. This was the first cruise my boyfriend and I had ever been on. Although I have always heard of how small cabins can be, I was impressed...

Pros: Shows...that's all
Cons: Ship was HOT, Decor/Tacky, Room needed new bedspread/curtains. Staff not very friendly

My sister & I decided to getaway on this "Fun Cruise". It was my 2nd cruise, her 1st. It was a HUGE disappointment. I would suggest Carnival change their slogan, the only thing that made it "FUN" was the company(My sister & I) & the few guests we spent ...
