Review summary

I am a seasoned cruise traveler having completed over 50+ cruises on multiple cruise lines.  I believe Carnival provides an excellent product for the price paid for the trip.  I have been on Carnival multiple times beginning in the 1980s and I have found their food has improved, their ships are immaculate, the crew very nice and welcoming and their newer ships very spacious.  In contrast, Royal Caribbean who people seem to hold as a standard of excellence pales to Carnival in many areas, most notably the cuisine.  Although their ships are something to behold, bigger is not always better.  For those planning their first cruise I recommend Carnival you will most certainly enjoy it and get great value for the price.

I have been on both myself and its Carnival all the way for me. I'm not for the glitz and glamour. I like fun and want to enjoy my vacation that is where Carnival is the best! ⚓️

I have also been sailing with Carnival since the 80s.  My first cruise was on the Mardi Gras.  My kids loved it as much as I did.  I am now on Platinum level and received free laundry service.  I love it.  Happy to read that you enjoyed your cruise.
