This was my 6th Carnival cruise. Previous cruises were all out of Canaveral/Miami/Fort Lauderdale.
With regard to the Carnival cutbacks many have spoke about I noticed the following on this boat:
No crew members getting people to use sanitizer at meal times/boarding. I am not a germaphobe, but it seems likes that precaution works. I noticed more people with minor illnesses (my family included) on this boat than I have seen in awhile.
