Veterans are entitled to a discount, by sending in DD 214, thru Carnival. It is not advertised and I found out about it on board talking to other vets. Called Carnival after and they said seeing I booked early I was not entitled to discount. Sounds like a politician talking out both sides of mouth.

Debarkation Info; passed out last day of cruise states each adult allowed 2 liters of alcohol, their on board shop selling a package deal of 4 one liter bottles of vodka, duty free also.

Wife and I purchased their 4 - 1 liter bottle offer prior to New York arrival. US Customs held me back till I went and paid tax on 2 of the 4 bottles. Customs agent said that you are only allowed 1 liter duty free. Wife waited with all luggage while I scampered down to the other end, about 1500 feet away, to the duty tax window and back again. Only $6.00 tax but a great inconvience and misinformation by them.

Center of ship cabins you hear alot from the atrium area of entertainment. very late into the evening.

The lower berth and more center of ship the least movement. Of about 9 previous cruises, this is by far the most movement ever experienced, with as little as 2-3 foot waves. Sad seeing ship is only 8 years old.

Very limited channels available on TV. Cruise highlights of shows always showing same from the first day and not updated with other events, etc..

Other cruise lines show highlights of the previous days and is changed each day for your in room viewing, but not Carnival.

Room service was very good, fast and unobtrusive to the guest.
