I sailed on the Destiny on 7/26/10, Boarding was a breeze 5 stars Food on the Destiny needs a lot of improvement pretty much the same menu every night, and service in the dining room is not like it has been in the past, I was on the Destiny in 2003, its more like Applebee's now, I didn't receive that 5 star quality of service as in past cruises that I have taken less than 2 years ago. Food service on the Lido deck is just normal buffet now, I noticed that when I was ordering an omelet that the eggs were poured out of a carton not my idea of 5 stars, and also only lemonade out of an carton that you had to mix with a half cup of water to be able to drink it, it was way to sweet, they use to have servers pushing around carts with drinks in the Lido deck dinning room that service is now gone, so you are having more people up going for drinks. I give 3 stars just because I didn't have to cook. The shows in the theater were lacking the first night they had only one show with over 3000 guest we weren't able to get in, then they had one night that they didn't have any shows or entertainment at all, and that has never happened before, one night the guest performed, that left Carnival three average shows, 2 stars. Cabin steward did and outstanding job and I would say overall the ship was in good shape I did get to run into the famous odors from the reviews I've read maybe twice, but nothing to make my cruise any worse, public toilets were very dirty must be cut backs or something because it wasn't like that in 2003, Islands Grand Turk and Half Moon Cay were not my cup of tea, but people who enjoy laying on the beach will love them, not much to them, but Nassau made up for what the other islands were lacking it was great, go to Paradise Island, and tour the Atlantis Hotel it's unbelievable, this Island has a lot to see and do, 3 stars for the Islands. because Grand Tuck and Half Moon Cay are one dimensional. Debarking was a breeze 5 Stars overall 3 Stars
