Very disappointed in our shore excursion we purchased, and we will not do it again through Carnival. Felt rushed and each place we stopped was less impressive than when we did another excursion through a private touring company to the same place.

I've had a cruise where you felt the movement of the ship in the dining room. Moved to the Guys Burger area for the next meal.

Thanks for the review. Private excursions are almost always cheaper, less crowded and last longer than those booked through the ship.
