Just back yesterday from 4 day Carnival Destiny and had a great time. The weather was not good and the seas were rough but made the best of it. I also had bad weather on the Victory once going to Canada, and that cruise did not go well, but even with the weather I had a great time on the Destiny. I went with 5 girls and myself and were on board by 11:30am drink in hand by 12. My sister and I had a balcony cabin 9193 few steps from deck and pool. This cabin was great, but I think I will stick with ocean view. I had a suite with balcony a few months ago and said the same thing, but thought I would try it again as carnival upgraded me. The weather hasn't been this bad in florida for 60 years I heard on CNN and it lived up to its word. The seas were very rough, but I do not get sea sick, so not an issue. The service was GREAT, I spent alot of time in Casino because of the weather and actually was the number 1 seed in the black Jack tourney but lost in the final:o( But that was ok I had a great time. Our table in the dining room was not what we wanted. They put us behind a wall in a corner, so we asked to switch the next night and they moved us to the Galaxy table 111 at a window and it was perfect. Our Waiter Ricky was fantastic and the dancing was great from the waiters every night as well. Met many great people from all around the country and 3 girls that I had been with had never been on a Carnival Cruise, even with the weather they said this would not stop them from getting back on. Everyone was great ..The ship was built in 1996 and was refurbished but definately still a good ship, is it gonna be like a brand new ship NO, but if anyone goes on expeciting a 13 year old ship to be perfect than don't go on this one. It is a larger ship for its age and if you like the triumph you will like her! Any questions please ask! Oh and I won over 800 on the black jack table!!!
