My wife and I just returned from our 7 fun-filled days aboard the Destiny. We booked this cruise because of the ports, 7 in seven days, and returned dedicated to never doing that many ports again. With the exception of Barbados all the other ports were new for us. This was our 9th cruise on Carnival and we were not disappointed. The Destiny is starting to show some wear, but the crew was one of the best we have encountered.

We had an inside cabin on the upper deck about midship. It was very convenient to elevators going forward or aft. The great part was we were only one deck up from the promenade which would take you anywhere on the ship, and also had the casino! On the Destiny Deck 5 and Deck 9 will get you from the front to the back and 0 deck had the gangway to get you on and off the ship. Our cabin was clean and the water pressure was great. The cabin steward was exceptional (thank you Jacob) and the towel animals were always there when we returned from the evening out. There were adequate supplies of shampoo and body wash as well as toothpaste and razors. The hair dryer worked well and you never ran out of hot water!!!

DINING: As always we never got up in time to eat breakfast in the main dining room but to Carnivals credit you could get breakfast until noon on the Lido deck. Buffet dining at the Sun & Sea on the Lido deck was typical cafeteria food and the Deli and grills served up great sandwiches and delicious golden brown french fries. Of course you can get pizza 24 hours a day along with icecream and I must say the pie was great!!!!!!!!!! Read more
