Picked this cruise for the excursions and the fact I had been on the Glory before. I didn’t use the work-out facilities or go to shows. I just love to cruise and hang out on my balcony and watch the ocean. I LOVE the food, the staff, the excursions etc. Im never quite sure when I see others give a bad review. This is my 7th cruise and my 6th with Carnival. I have even had excursions cancelled (usually for weather) but for me, a day cruising is better than a day at work! So I would advise for people to research on their own and take reviews (even mine-good or bad) with a grain of salt. Good luck in your search. While I enjoy Carnival, Disney may be more fun for children. (I’ve been in Disney as well). In my opinion there is a cruise line for everyone. Enjoy!
