Review--Ecstasy --November 26, 2007 Just The Facts: Carnival Ecstasy Five Day-November 26-December 1, 2007 Captain: Pier Paolo Scala Cruise Director: Goose Neumann Ports: Galveston-Progreso-Cozumel-Galveston Weather: Overall Nice. Lt. rain in Progresso, Beautiful in Cozumel
Aware of pricing going up for cruises out of Galveston, and looking for bargain fares, I booked this as a 1A solo as it seemed to be a good value. Actually had a very small price drop, but pricing really went up on this as well as all cruises from Galveston. This was my 11th Carnival cruise and 3rd on the Ecstasy. I booked cabin E-181 which is on my favorite deck for a Fantasy class ship.
Note: I wanted to note this before reading my review as my activities on board this week were somewhat determined by the 'bug'. As I live in a very rural area and I'm not exposed to many people my tolerance and resistance to germs is weak. I did do the Airborne before leaving as usual, but did seem to get a 'bug' and had a sore throat for most of the cruise. I sure did not drink as much or attend the late shows trying to get more rest. I could have got the 'bug' at Thanksgiving or first day on board so I won't blame 'muster drill' or something else. Sorry the review will not be as complete.
