Our third New Year's Cruise: 2 Carnival, 1 RCCL. This was the WORST. 2,000 people on Prominade Deck. Shoulder to shoulder. Can't sit. Can't move. No champaign at midnight. No dancing or music...no room to do anything except stand. Cost $1,000 extra per person for New Year's cruise. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON RCCL NEW YEAR'S CRUISE. Everybody packed onto Prominade Deck. Can't handle that many people. "Lobster" for New Year's dinner was a joke and should be an embarassment for RCCL. One to two ounces of lobster meat MAYBE (ONE BITE). Meat stuck to the shell. Only allowed one miniscule tail per person. RCCL new Port Canaveral terminal also a joke. Opened a week earlier than expected for our cruise. Waited in one of two car/bus lanes for ONLY FOUR open spaces to unload. 1 HR. 45 MINUTES IN LINE WAITING. Disembarking was worse. In line from on the ship all the way down their twisting ramp (five levels) to baggage claim. Person in charge would not let ANYONE get their backs until all the bags on the whole ship were unloaded. Another almost 2 hour waiting in line. Our 2 Carnival New Year's cruises, on the other hand, provided us with two of our BEST new year's ever out of 45 years of marriage. Will book New Year's on Carnival again this year. We have been on 25 cruises, so we are not novices.
Cabin no different than on other ships. Okay.
