May 2010 - 11 Night Ultimate Alaska (San Francisco to Vancouver) Cruise on Celebrity Infinity
Carnival Destiny (RETIRED) 28
Sail date: November 15, 2010
This was my 13th cruise, my first and last with Carnival. This cruise was so bad that if it had been my first cruise it may have also been my last. From mediocre food and often-poor service to nasty drunks on board, it was a waste of both my money and my very valuable holiday time. The decor on the Carnival Destiny looks like it was done in the 1970s - disco-style glitz, and the entertainment was low quality in every way. I could go on at great length about this cruise but I'm sure that you get the idea!
Cruise tips
Celebrity Millennium
"The Millie" is going to be undergoing a major refit to bring her up to Solstice standards, from April 22 through May 11, 2012. The "Solsticization" will be bringing in major dining and cabin changes as well as other venue changes. A 15-night westbound Panama Canal is her first voyage as a new ship.
Carnival Sunshine
Avoid it!
Coral Princess
On the Coral and Island Princesses there are 2 "secret" viewing areas that are superb. They're at the bow on Decks 10 and 11 ( http://tinyurl.com/89xu386 ). Go through the door that says "No Entry" or some such thing. It's actually okay to do - both of the spots are in full view of the bridge.
