I'll be honest, my parents LOVE cruising and took me and my fam on a Carnival 3-day cruise to nowhere (LOL, sounds as bad as it was!) with them, and all I wanted to do was get off the ship. It was like a floating all-you-can-eat buffet with sub-par entertainment and patrons the likes of who you might find on the "people of walmart" blogs. Sorry if this sounds really judgy, I just dont understand the appeal of cruising.
Well that's because Carnival just sucks. I've been on Disney, Carnival, and multiple Royal, and much prefer Royal.
Been on Carnival and Disney. Carnival is like the Golden Corral of cruising. Many people, much food, much diarrhea. Disney was fantastic but I was a kid so..idk. It might be fun to take a nicer cruise but I’m thinking smaller is better. I remember the Disney one rocked like crazy, had a blast.
I still remember the weird mustard smell in the Carnival cabin head.
Never been to a Golden Corral. Is the food bland there too? Carnaval has 'much food' but it's pretty much inedible- even desserts were bad like they forgot the sugar.
It’s been a while since my GC days but the food was plentiful and bland, yes.
Not judgy at all...I'm with you there on all points. I took one Caribbean cruise a bunch of years ago (It was a 4 or 5 day voyage), had bad weather over half the time, which meant the ports of call on those days were canceled due to the inability of shuttle boats to get us all to land (no docks large enough to accommodate ship) and so everyone was stuck on board all day. Not much to do except eat. And this wasn't one of those bottom of the barrel discount lines, either. The whole experience of getting off at the same place I got on was immensely disappointing, much like an overhyped theme park ride. I'm intrigued by the idea of a transatlantic voyage with a European tour on the other end, but I think I'm done with overcrowded journeys from point A to point A.
