Celestial Traveler

Our first was in 1999 for our 20th wedding anniversary. We felt bad about taking a vacation without our 15 yr old DD, so we took her with us ! We were on the Carnivale Tropicale the week after she came back on line after her fire. At the anniversary celebration, my DH asked the captain if the ship was listing and he confirmed my DH's suspicion. We didn't feel like taking another cruise until 2002.

We have taken many, many cruises since than. What a change from going from a room for the three of us to a suite. One moment stands out with respect to the Tropicale. We were on another anniverary cruise on the Costa Fortuna in 2005. Again, we were conversing with the captain and mentioned the Tropicale as our first cruise. He started laughing and said that it was now one of their ships and was the worst they had !
