Excursion cancelled due to weather! If they would have simply postponed, the weather cleared in an hour. We booked a full day dolphin experience & day at beach.

It would have been cool if they showed Christmas movies all day.

I am not sure how much you have cruised before, but I would not judge cruising or Carnival based on one cruise during the busiest time of year on an older ship that is primarily aimed at first time and budget conscious cruisers. A longer itinerary on the larger ship will usually be better.
