Obsession with Alcohol

I read posts on many Cruise Critic boards. Still, I must say the Carnival board is obsessed with alcohol. "Can't wait to get my first DOD" etc. I have been on two Carnival cruises and have no plans ever to return. Just too difficult to step over the vomit on the decks. If that's why you cruise, more power to you. But bring some paper towels.

I've seen little kids puke because they are sea sick. Doesn't matter if it's Carnival or another cruise line (which I have been on others). But seeing how this is your first post, maybe staying home isn't such a bad idea for you. :rolleyes:

Welcome to the Carnival board. NOW GO AWAY! On all my cruises I have never seen 'vomit on the decks'. And my group DOES enjoy alcohol!

It is a vacation!!!

I've never seen any vomit on any ship I've sailed on.

I've also seen very few unruly drunks on board.

I know they exist (on all ships), but I have been pleasantly surprised to date.

I only have 139 days until I can savor a piece of heaven which also is known as a "DOD" :D

Well, if you're never sailing Carnival again, then no reason to visit the Carnival boards. :rolleyes: And, just for the record, we cruised Princess once and saw many more "drunks" there than we've ever seen on Carnival--one woman even fell into my DH's lap on formal night. Never once in six cruises on Carnival have I had to step over vomit on the decks.

The fact of the matter is people are on vacation and many of them will chose to drink...on all types of vacations and various cruise lines. Carnival doesn't have a corner on that market.

I've never seen unruly drunks. The drunks I've observed tend to be comical and add to the memories of the trip!

Uh oh. It might have been me on one or two occassions.....:o

I have to say that i don't drink and i have never found vomit on deck. The drunks dont bother me on the ships, its really not as bad as you make it sound. GET A LIFE!

Anyone find it ironic that the screen name is "LaidBack" but in truth they seem to be anything but ....

Oops...I think I know why I haven't noticed unruly drunks...I'm the unruly drunk. :rolleyes:

As you can see we have cruised Carnival a lot, and we do not drink either. I can also tell you in all the cruises we have had we have seen maybe a handful of drunks, but we sure have had a lot of fun!

20 years ago we were on some CCL cruises where high school groups were on board and drunk and rowdy. Someone vomitted in the hall outside our room, but since CCL has changed it's policies we've not seen any major drunken problems. We had a table mate on one cruise that usually was drunk but he was an adult and funny. If you don't like CCL try another cruise line. We found Princess and Cunard more elderly and sedate and maybe that would be more to your liking.

Really? You signed up 5 years ago, made one post, and then came back 5 years later to post this? Awesome...

I've only seen vomit, and a guy peeing on the Lido deck, but not on Carnival.

A friend and I was on the Fascination during college spring break last year and although I have never seen any vomit on deck, I did hear a group of girls outside of my cabin very late one night and one was definitely vomiting right outside my door.

I drifted off back to sleep and my girlfriend got up early and on her way to the Lido for breakfast, stepped in it! :eek: She had slept through it all and didn't know it was there.

Thankfully, by the time I got up, it was all cleaned up.

It didn't bother me one bit. I thought as long as it wasn't me throwing up, I could care less.

We're early 50's and work at a university and took off during our spring break for the cruise. Would we cruise again during spring break? Heck yeah! We partied just as hard as the college students! LOL!
