This was our 4th cruise and the first on Carnival. I had some reservations about Carnival, I had read all the good and not so good reviews. But like with the other 3 cruises I was looking forward to going, and going with an open mind. Our group included a variety of ages, from 8 months old to a 73 yr old w/ handicaps. With out going step by step details, I'll just tell what I liked and didn't care for.

First I'd like to say I'd cruise Carnival again in a heartbeat. Everything went so smooth. There were no complaints from any of us, everyone said they would go again, this was a first cruise for many.

We had a great time, the food was just as good and something's better than NCL and Princess. What I liked the best: MUSIC by the pool every night late. We had the best time, meeting people and dancing. Being outside, nice breeze. Other ships only had music out side for about an hr after sail-a-way. Then they would close everything up, you had to go inside. Read more
