Review summary

Everything went well except for our anytime dining.  It is anytime they can squeeze you in.  Not happy getting a buzzard to wait 20 minutes after in line for 15 minutes.  All else was great.  My error forgot kids would be off from school!bu

After 23 cruises it's just not the same.  No personal care/understaffed and when in the buffet the bussers just don't see all the dirty tables and people walking around waiting for one.

As pricing of cruising drops everybody can now afford it,  Especially the short 3 and 4 night cruises.  for a better clientele I would suggest  one of the more premium lines like Holland America and Celebrity.  I do enjoy myself on Carnival,  but I also call it the floating Walmart.   to bad that it will be 2 years until you can cruise again.   i would be going through withdrawals.

We finished our 24th cruise in March on the Carnival Liberty. Cruising isn't the same anymore. No chocolates at night, the bowl of samples is no longer and (to me) more ignorant passengers. All cruise lines seem to be cutting back  and the casinos are all definitely tighter. We are relocating next year so we won't cruise in 2016 and our last cruise this year will be on the Freedom of the Seas in October. I wonder what changes I'll see in 2 years.

Great review,  I can tell you know how to cruise. You did not let the little things get to you and you kept the big picture in mind "I'm on vacation on a cruise ship"  Sorry you forgot the spring break thing.
