I have been on 3 cruises. The first cruise I went on was with my parents, I can barely remember because I was like... 6 or so. We went to the Bahamas, but we didn't go through Carnival. The second cruise I went on was with my family and we went to Cozumel, and Key West, and I went with Carnival on the Imagination. The third cruise I took was with Carnival on the Fascination. I went with my mom and my Girl Scout troop. We went went to the Bahamas, and we were SUPPOSED to go to half moon cay but we didn't. We didn't go because the trip got canceled because of bad weather. When I say bad weather, I mean the ship was rocking from side to side so much the water touched the windows, you couldn't use the stairs or you would fall. Your soup/drink would tilt and spill out of your bowl/cup, and you needed to hold on to rails. Surprisingly most people were not sick because of the major rocking, so don't let that scare you!!!

I didn't really enjoy any of the trips because there literally isn't anything "fun" to do. Everything you do on the ship, you can do on land. They make everything boaring during the "sea day"so you would spend money to entertain yourself. Weather this be drinking, gambling, eating, shopping ,etc. Then notice late at night is when all the shows and clubs are opened. This is because you will be sleepy and less likely to spend as much at night vs. during the day.

Anywhoo, On my last cruise I opted out of doing excursions because I didn't find one that interested me. My mom and I, and a girl from my troop and her mother decided we were going to get off the boat and just walk. Once we got ashore all the shops were closed because it was "Bahamas independence day." I felt the day was really bad because we couldn't go anywhere because ALL the shops were closed. Read more
