I have been on several cruises, but never have I cruised with Carnival and I will doubt I would in the future.  The ship was clean, well appointed and our attendant was very helpful.  We reserved a suite for our trip, we appreciate the benefits when you travel as first class as possible.  I traveled with my wife and 5 year son, the first night there was a cute little towel animal on the bed, every cruise does it, my little boy enjoyed it. The problem is they never did it again, every cruise I have been on, (this is the first one with a child) every night there was a towel animal was on the bed, it would have been a nice touch.  Cruising as a Suite passenger on other Flags  I have never been been charged for room service, never up charged for an item on the dinner menu.  One of the reasons I like to cruise is because the food is so amazing.  Not so on Carnival, the food was blah and a little worse than chain restaurant food.  The main problem is the premise that Carnival is a family friendly cruise line, that just is not true.  I was accosted at least twice by drunk passengers, had insults hurled at me by drunk people and had a drunk female attempt to poke a writing pen in my nose.  Passengers were so drunk they were falling down, not an environment that I would ever subject my minor son to again.  I could not understand the bar tenders who would continue to serve obviously drunk people. Would it be that Carnival continues to serve because it is the only profit center on the ship? How much would Carnival lose if they ordered their employees to stop serving drunk people?  Remember, when your passengers are all drunk you can serve them crappy food and half assed service, they won't remember anyway, but I will remember.
