i chose carnival cruises because we have never sailed with them before.the food was delish,the entertainment standard,shore excursions expensive as usual,our cabin was an inside but was fine because you don't spend a lot of time in it.i found out that they only had 900 lounge chairs for 3000 guests.they don't enforce the 40 minute if you covered your lounge chair with a towel and left all day.pretty crowded but we had a great time.disembarkment was easy as pie.overall i would give an 8 out of 10.weather was hot as could be sunny and beautiful.guy fieri's hamburgers omg i couldn't get enough of them.i defintily will consider cruising on carnival in 2017 as long as they are going somewhere i want to go.they also gave me a personal vacation planner which is free of charge through carnival and all you have to do is tell her what you want.you can call her anytime with any price reductions and she will take care of it.
