Traveling has a way of rendering you speechless, but yet turning you into a storyteller at the same time.
At iCruise.com – we like stories. We like to hear stories, tell stories, share stories. Stories of happiness, excitement, adventure and paradise found.
We work hard to ensure our clients are, well, happy. So when we receive stories like this from a happy Debora and Paulo – it’s hard not to smile and share:
Carnival Imagination Jan. 2013 — "Paulo and I had a really wonderful time on our Carnival Imagination cruise. We relaxed, had a lot of fun, made nice new friends, got to see beautiful places and, of course, we ate soooooo much! I can surely say that we went from: 'maybe we will like it' to 'we loved it, had a blast, the best vacation ever!!!'
We were so happy and so excited that we did things that we hadn’t done in so long like going to 'Michael Jackson’s night' and dancing a lot, all night! We also went to sing karaoke. By the way, I was surprised because my fiancé never, ever sings a song in front of anyone and there, he was so taken by the nice, friendly and relaxing atmosphere that he just wanted to sing, laugh and have a lot of fun!
I have to mention the employees. They were so nice to us, so polite! All of them, no exception! Our room was super clean and we loved when we used to get into the room and see those beautiful folded towels on our bed. Just amazing, thoughtful and, of course, romantic!!!
All this and a great time for an affordable price, even for us who went all way from Brazil straight to the ship in Miami.
I want to thank John Morn from iCruise.com and WMPH Vacations for all his help and recommendations. If it weren’t for John, I wouldn’t have had this gorgeous time. Since I first called iCruise.com and WMPH and talked to him on a Sunday afternoon, he was so patient, polite, courteous and attentive.
My fiancé and I had no idea about cruise ships, destinations, cabins…nothing! John was the one who gave us all kind of information, answered all my billion questions and presented us deals that we could afford. He gave us time to think about it and, in between, we were emailing each other.
When we decided about going on a cruise, he kept in touch with us all the time. I could call, email…and there he was helping us a lot. He also gave us tips about documents since we are from Brazil. It was really kind of him. And last, but not least, he emailed us many important suggestions so that we could enjoy even more our vacation since our first hour on a cruise ship. John, thank you so much. You offered us something that we really loved and needed!!! We owe you!
We definitely want to do that many more times in our lives. Traveling, relaxing and a fun time for us now means being on Carnival Cruise!"
How about this story of being so overwhelmed with the positive atmosphere onboard that Debora and Paolo tried new things, things they would never have done before? How amazing!
The Carnival Imagination originally debuted in 1995, but was completely overhauled in 2008 with a nearly 40-million dollar refurbishment that was included in Carnival’s Evolutions of Fun revitalization program.
Newer features include all kinds of deck-top fun including: a 9-hole mini golf course, Carnival WaterWorks spray park, an amazing tropical resort-style pool and Serenity-Adult only Retreat. And, that’s on top of the delicious dining options, onboard activities, nightlife, casino games and relaxing spa treatments that have been part of Carnival Imagination all along.
This mid-size, 70,367-ton ship currently sails 3 to 4-night itineraries from Miami to the Bahamas and Caribbean. In early 2014 she will make her way to the west coast in order to depart on 3 to 4-night Baja Mexico cruises.
The Carnival Imagination is really a melting pot of cruising demographics from honeymooners to multi-generational families; it attracts first-time cruisers as well as veteran cruisers due to its shorter cruises and comfortable atmosphere.
Book your Bahamas or Caribbean cruise now and spend a few days letting your imagination — and the rest of you — run wild.
John Morn is a Travel Advisor with iCruise.com and WMPH Vacations. John grew up an army brat, which meant traveling around a lot and may explain why he’s such a travel junkie. He has traveled all over the U.S., including Alaska, plus Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Europe and has sailed on seven different cruise lines. But the bucket list is still quite long. John enjoys finding the perfect itinerary for his clients to make sure you will go places that really suit your interests.
