Me and my friends (6 of us) take a "friendship" vacation once a year. Neither of us had been on a cruise as adults, so we decided to cruise. After some research (googling) we decided to cruise Carnival because of their reputation to cater to a younger crowd (although we are all touching upon 30 years old).

My best friend and I were provided an "upsell" opportunity and accepted the offer. Let me tell you, I am now Balcony spoiled. We had an amazing time on Carnival Destiny. The food was great, the customer service was amazing, and our room steward, Gerald, was so friendly and kept our room very tidy. The food lines were long but moved along quickly. Dinner in the Universe dining room was also great...we had an amazing waiter. Although two of the five nights our rolls were hard.

In Jamaica we took the Dunn's River Falls/Bamboo Beach club. I recommend everyone of able body climb Dunn's River. In Grand Cayman, we got Jet Ski's and laid out in the sun. I declare Grand Cayman is the hottest place I've ever been too. Read more
