Loving your review. We were on the Destiny last December and loved the ship. Going back again in July for my DD's 40th birthday.

My beautiful wife, son and I before formal night outside of the galaxy dining room!!



The Cruise director and other senior officers before formal night.. I wish I could be a cruise director.. Seems like the best job ever!



Marie An dancing with my son.. They truly made dinner special.


The dining room staff performing. They did 4 performances and it added something to the dinner..


The guy all the way on the right is the Magician. Don't know who the attractive woman on the left is.. I was telling my wife that most of the women that worked on board were very attractive.


A shot of an empty Paladium lounge.

They had started decorating for Christmas.. It looked pretty neat.. It didn't look as if they had went all out yet.. Not sure if they were done.

Default Cabana Rental at Half Moon Cay??

I went on Carnival's website to see how much it was to rent a cabana and they aren't giving prices. Can you tell me how much it was? Also, it says for an hour....do you really only get the cabana for an hour?

We paid 229 for it and it was for the entire day. It was great.

Hello - I am really enjoying your review! My husband and I (as well as some close friends) are cruising the Destiny on Dec 14th. We have been reading about the propulsion problems. Did you feel any vibrations or strange movements because of this? Just curious. Thanks!
