Seems that carnival has been plagued with various mishaps over the years. Makes you wonder how this could happen


Carnival is about the cheapest of the cruise lines, but I'd never go on one of their cruises. You're
right, it seems like they have more illness and other problems than all the other cruise lines put
together.

I always say the food and service in general is what you would expect
at a Carnival.

We went on a Carnival cruise 25 years ago. I remember the food and service as being pretty good, certainly not 5 star, but not bad. Then we went on one about 7-8 years ago for an (in-law) family milestone event. We'll never go on another.

We're looking at the Viking river cruises. That's on the list for after retirement.

My Bradenton IBM buddy went on one in Europe on the Rhine starting in
Amsterdam. He did partake of some smokes in a coffee shop before he
left but he said it was a great cruise.

Carnival is just one of the cruise lines owned by the same company.
Celebrity, etc. Maybe, just different price points? I think Holland
America was a division.

Several when we were cruising with Trane and Carrier (sales prizes).
My daughter got married on the Destiny. At the time the difference
between Carnival and Holland America was striking. I am not sure what
it is like now that it is one company.

We'll probably stick with Disney, although I've been hearing some good things about MSC. We're going
out of New Orleans in Feb on a Disney ship. Looking forward to spending a few days in New Orleans
once we return. Neither of us have ever been there.

We are probably done cruising. If we do anything it would be a river
cruise in the US. The only ocean cruises that might interest me would
be one of those New Horizon things with the ship board seminars and
historic/scientific stops. My wife is not that interested.

Getting stuff lined up to do a good river/ lake cruise probably this summer or early fall. Hope nothing crash’s the plans this year. Been waiting on it a long time...
