Why would you book any type of an excursion through and Airlines company?

I agree cruising is probably not for you. This is an older ship with a short itinerary aimed at first time and budget conscious cruisers. A longer itinerary on a newer ship will usually be a better experience. Not sure what the airline has to do with the cruise, but I much prefer American over United, so that would have been a plus.

You couldn't find anything you liked? Maybe cruising isn't for you? I don't understand what your airlines had to do with Carnival or Miami ratings? United didn't show up for the excursion? Not Miami's fault. You had to take a different airline's? Not Carnivals fault. Maybe next time try one of Carnivals newest ships? Victory is an old ship. In March 2020 she will under go extensive 38 day dry dock and be renamed the Radiance.
