Carnival Imagination

Pros: Accomodations and entertainment
Cons: length of stays in ports

This four day, five night cruise was a vacation to remember. This floating city, the Imagination, was more than imaginable. I have been on cruises before, but this blew the others away. There is something to do on this ship no matter what time of the...

Pros: Great service, food, atmosphere
Cons: They kill you with picture prices

I had the opportunity to cruise the Imagination this past summer. As I had never cruised before, I was not sure what to expect. I did go with a group of friends that had cruised before and what I imagined the ship to be was based on their...

Pros: Sun and ports of call
Cons: Overpriced package, smoky air

This wasn't my idea, but it was a family reunion type thing. I knew the decor would be tacky, I didn't expect a lot of activities that meant anything to me (I'm not a lounge lizard, gambler or dancer), and basically the ship was a floating hotel to me,...

Pros: fun for everyone
Cons: nothing really...

I went on the Imagination 3 years ago, on my first cruise, with my entire family. There were 10 of us in total, all different ages, and with completely different interests. We ranged in age from 18 (me at the time) to 75 (my grandfather). A cruise is...

Pros: The Grand Caymans
Cons: The dirt pile and extra untold cost of calica.

Carnival is as advertised the party ship.From the moment you step on the IMAGINATION.The ship is a little run down but it is my understanding that they are to up date it this year.Still the Imagination is breath taking as is all of Carnivals ships.The...

Pros: "Leave the driving to us" atmosphere. Get on, unpack and enjoy the ride.
Cons: Older ship showing some wear, Port stops need to be longer

That Carnival’s Imagination is a good time waiting to happen. If you are looking for a fun vacation with a slightly “Vegas” flair, then the Imagination is for you.
My husband and I picked the August 30 sailing with stops in Key West and Cozumel...

Pros: The variety of activities and flexibility of the crew
Cons: Long days at sea, when not going to port of call, and transportation but that is a different article.

During my spring break of my junior year in high school my family and a couple close friends went on a cruise for vacation. The choice of Carnival was not a disappointment. On the trip were my parents, my grandparents, and a good friend of the family,...

Pros: Decent size staterooms, good food
Cons: Need more days at sea, bring cash for tips

(Please note: I am posting this review for a couple who were first-time cruisers when they went on Imagination, so "we" in the review refers to their perspective).

Imagination was a great experience, from embarkation to...

Pros: getting pampered
Cons: high drink prices

My husband and I took a cruise for our 10th aniversary. We went with a large group. (which I recomend) We did somehow manage to go during spring break. Even though the ship was full of college students they did not bother us. We were in our early...

Pros: Bigger, Jacuzzi, Balcony, smaller ship
Cons: Older ship

My husband and I just finished a cruise on the Imagination. We decided to go in style and get the most expensive room on the ship (U-89). I had cruised before with my sister in a tiny inside room and we really enjoyed ourselves. BUT, it felt like a...

Pros: Large rooms, good food, good shows
Cons: Bad babysitting hours, bad ports of call

My in-laws recently celebrated their retirement and 20th anniversary by taking the whole family on a cruise. As you'd expect we took Carnival's Western Carribbean cruise on the Imagination.

Having just gone on a cruise last year--and loving...

Pros: Entertainment, casual dining, service
Cons: Expensive shore excursions, rollaway bed

My family and I went on the 7-day cruise in the last part of May. The price for my husband, daughter and me came to approximately $1900. Our itinerary included Mexico, Grand Cayman, and Ocho Rios, Jamaica.

The ship is beautiful. Our cabin was...

Pros: Clean Ship, Excellent Staff, Fun Itinerary
Cons: $500 limit a day on purchases onboard!

Hands down the 5 day Itinerary to Ocho Rios and Grand Cayman gets the TOP rating from me. The ENTIRE staff and services on this ship were BEYOND impeccable. The food was abundant and delicious. The ship was the CLEANEST ship I have boarded and this...

Pros: stress-free, easy going, lots to do
Cons: over-priced drinks, not enough time on the islands

Oh my gosh, where to start. My husband and I took a late honeymoon last July 31, and took our very first cruise. We were not sure what to expect, or if I would stay sea sick the entire time. We were very pleased. Even though we couldn't get the cabin...

Pros: food, service, cleanliness
Cons: amount of activities

My family and I went on Carnival's Imagination 5-day cruise during spring break 2000. The ship itself is exciting for the first couple of days, but being a junior in high school, I found that there was a lack of activities for my age group. There was a...
