I live in Oklahoma and we had 6” of snow and 14 was the high. Weird weather in the Midwest. Thanks for taking the time to review.

Can’t hardly image it being cold in February, even in Texas….. Curse you Carnival!!! 😤 Based on your other reviews of past cruises, you may want to find another vacation option.

Thanks for the review. Cruising in January can be cold unless you leave from San Juan, Barbados or St Maarten. It is still much warmer than much of the US.
