How was your room? Noisy or ok? I am going to be staying near where your cabin was.

Agreed. My wife and I couple just fine on Carnival and get more cruises for the buck on our budget. That said, the beauty of life is you get to choose what works for you, so do as you please. Happy cruising!

Ernie 8244993, my husband and myself will be going on our seventh Carnival cruise next month and I guess what I was saying was I don’t understand their statement. Our kids are grown with children of their own so it’s just the two of us Cruising and we have no problem. Guess it’s what your expectations are and I’m just happy that I can go on cruises. LOL

For a couples cruise you want princess cruises, they cater to couples in mind. Carnival is a more fun ship a little more wild and kid oriented it's a family/ young wild crowd type of cruise, but if you have children carnival is the way to go.
