This is my 9th cruise, 7th with carnival and 2 with NCL. I was traveling alone like always and 50 years old. I was on Legend last year 12/08/06 and Fantasy 09/07/06, Conquest 2005, Victory, 2004, Triumph 2003, and Fascination 2000. I flew in and stay at the Hampton INN on 12/08. The embarkation was easy and the line was not long. however, while i was in the line i found $100 bill and gave it to the security guy and ask him to give it to the ship staff to make announcement to the passenger without revealing the amount because i was sure the money belong to a passenger none of the guys immediately ahead of me dropped since i asked but the security guy disappeared. My first disappointment, the Cruise Director was only interested in selling and not as activity as the NCL cruise directors. The staff were amazing as always and the food was good but Carnival need to do more with activities for singles.

The ports were good i enjoy the beach and lunch at the Orient beach in St Martin and enjoy a tour of St kits but St. Lucia was good but the time on the Island was too short.

I enjoy my extended balcony and obviously i over paid by buying directly from Carnival. I can wait for my next cruise next year towards the end of the year as always. Read more
