Carnival is the Walmart of cruises. Never again.

I agree, No more Carnival for us/

I want to go on a Lindblad cruise. They really look exceptional, and are on small ships with nice service and real National Geographic folks onboard to tell you what you're seeing on the land excursions. There's one that goes down the coast of Costa Rica, stopping two or three times, then through the Panama Canal. That would be great, but they are very spendy.

Is that the Bright Horizons cruises? I would really like to do that
.... if I hit the lottery ;-)
You are right. If you get a nice cabin and sign up for all of the
seminars, it is a bundle. Although I doubt it is much more than we
spent going to New Zealand. That was close to $20 grand end to end.
