My pregnant wife and I at the last second decided to take a "baby moon" to enjoy one last vacation before our bundle of joy arrives. As we didn't plan on taking another cruise as we just went on a 7 day Royal Caribbean Eastern cruise in Feb (Freedom of the Seas) my first goal was to find a port that we have never visited. My wife and I have always been 100% satisfied with RC but I noticed that Carnival was going to Grand Turk which we have never been to before. While looking online I also noticed that Carnival's Ocean View room was half the price of RC. Combining these two factors we decided that even though we had heard mixed reviews concerning Carnival we would never know for sure unless we tried it for ourselves.
Pros:
1) Carnival is half the price of RC!
Being in cabin 1830 you are close to the gang ways which is convenient for shore excursions and the dinner restaurant is only 2 decks away. Plenty of closet room but the cabin is just old. No flat screen in the room...
