Is Carnival for you? Before you read my review consider the following.......
The word "Carnival" means a period of celebration and Carnival Cruises gives you just that. After 12 cruises on several cruise lines, I find that Carnival passengers on average are the most laid back, easy to please, good time and party loving passengers who tend to be night owls. If you enjoy the finer things in life and tend to be on the picky side, you probably want to find another cruise line like Holland America, Celebrity or Princess. If you demand perfection with everything, you probably want to avoid a cruise in general.
BACKGROUND: I recently lost my father and watched my mother take care of him for almost 2 years. It was time to give the mind, body and soul a break and to recharge. I gave my mother several vacation options and she choose a cruise out of NYC which meant no flying since we are from Connecticut. Our two friends, being over-worked and stressed out, also booked the same cruise.
