I have been on the Fantasy and the Jubilee and the Inspiration. Out of the three the Inspiration was the best. It is very showy and is kept very well.

The main show lounge was wonderful, Since we were sailing to New Orleans it had a jazzy theme. The pools are very nice as well as the surrounding area. The bar and grill is very large and is very fancy with lights in the shape of huge trees. There is a piano bar as on every ship. But the thing that caught my eye was the guitar lounge. It had huge guitars and leather seats. The candlelight lounge was very nice at night because the curtains were closed and the only lights that were on was the million candles that they have. Were ever you go there is fiber optics hanging from the ceiling and leather seats every were.

The food was very good maine lobster tails one night roast duck the next, and the last day the gala buffet with ice statues and all kinds of goody's. The lido bar and grill serve good food as well. The pizza is the best you can get any way you want it. The only thing is that they serve hamburgers and hot dogs on the outside lido lounge. Even though they serve other food in the lido and fancy restaurants it still gets annoying seeing it. The deserts were bad though they were bland and had no texture. But the rest of it was very good.

The cabins are big compared to other cruise lines. they are very clean and well kept. Your room stwered comes in every night when you are out eating and folds down your bed and put a towel animal on it. A fun way to give you your towels. They only thing wrong with them is that the showers are a little small.

The shows were very good. The broadway shows were the best I've seen. we had a group come on the ship in Mexico that danced with fire. Then the last night we had a balancer guy come on. He did very well on the rocking ship. There is activities for the kids also called camp carnival, they play games and make stuff. Adults can do bingo, betting on horses shopping etc. From the time you wake up until you go to bed no matter what you like they have something for you.

The Camp Carnival gets your kids out of your hair all day so you can relax in a spa get a manicure or shop for anything you can think off. New Orleans was great, the best port I had been in. Cozumel is not as great however. The are not really friendly over there. They no longer go to New Orleans so you would just be going to three places in Mexico.

Everyone Children Adults They sit you with people you get along with like number of childern etc so you get along.
