The cruise wasvery nice. First time on Carnival in 7-8 years. We found out we were platinum guests having cruised over 10 times with Carn. Treated well from embarkment to bisembarkment. Great food., service and activities. The problem was the announcements, music, bands and games were so loud, they drove us off the deck. The Point Steakhouse was dynomite! Best service, steak, dessert and everything else I've had in many many years. It's worth the extra $30 pp. Better than an excursion! My wife., member name mcbarbee, wrote a detailed review right down to the number of shelves in the room. See her review. As Carnival cruises go, it was very good. A little loud and rowdy sometimes, but great food and service. Something for everyone. Oh, btw, if you take the Appleton Estate Rum tour, take a seasick pill before you go. The ride is terrorizing. My wife's arms and hands were sore for two days from holding on for dear life. Think safety in every port, evev at home.
