My wife and I have been on 6 cruise lines .

I didn't say anything bad about Carnival. It just isn't for me. I am happy Carnival exists and fills a need. Without them there would probably be more demand for the RCI cabin that I want and a higher price that I'd have to pay for it.

I can only have a Handicapped cabin and they are always in great demand .

We have been on two Carnival cruises.  The first one, July 2008, my youngest sister was getting married for the second time, and was going on her very first cruise.  She has 5 children, and had 2 grandchildren at the time.  She wanted as many of us who could, accompany them on the Honeymoon Cruise. My two other sisters and their husbands, two of my brothers and their wives, and Jim and I joined in.  Several nieces and nephews and spouses also joined us.  It was on Carnival Miracle out of NY.    It really wasn't a bad cruise;  crowded around the pool, but it wasn't too bad.  A nice time was had by all.  Then, in Sept or Oct. 2009, we went on our second Carnival cruise, from Hawaii to San Diego, a Repo.  It turned out to be a great cruise to all of the Islands.  The price was unbelievable for a 12 day cruise.  It was the same price we had paid for the 7 day cruise on the Miracle the year before.  It wasn't until I was passing by the pool bar, when I heard two guys talking about this great Repo we were on.  Oh, so that was why it was so cheap!  It was our very first Repo.

We have only done one Carnival cruise,  but we enjoyed it very much. It was on Horizon. Excellent and varied included food options.  Lively atmosphere and lots of fun.

3 of our cruises have been on Carnival: Breeze, Glory, Vista. I don’t think we’d take a Carnival cruise again unless it was an itinerary we couldn’t pass up 

Crystal where are we going next?

Ooops 😁I mean where and when is your next trip? I love going with you virtually! Your pictures are amazing and at times I scroll back to see them again.

Very good friends of ours sailed carnival out of baltimore and told us story about activities that occurred while on their balcony.  2 guys were smoking a joint on night one on their balcony.  The next day these same guys were back with another joint and got a string from wherever and were passing the joint back and forth between a balcony below them.  They saw this happen everyday and it was a 10 or 12 night cruise.    No idea how they got enough pot onboard.   

This was pre covid 2019.

We have  been  on a couple Carnival Ships, Triumph and Miracle, ever since we saw this in the Dining Room on Miracle we promised each other never again.

 

They had Pepto Bismol Tablets all over the ceiling of the Dining room, made us sick !!

How convenient....just in case you needed one, you could have pulled it off the ceiling. Would have saved the trip to the over expensive ship store!😁

That hurts my eyes and it’s only a photo. Can’t imagine it in person.

I bought a foam cannon from Amazon and did some washing. Foam and let sit.  I’d give it a rinse and reform. 
 

Then scrub with a telescopic brush. 

 

Power wash for the finished product. They haven’t looked this clean in a while. Done in 2.5 hours from start up to clean up.

Speaking of clean… I used Lisa’s hand sanitizer in her car after Owen’s hockey practice.

Oh it was even worse in person, left dinner with a headache more then once !! It was like a glow in dark shade of purple pink.

 

Makes you wonder what drug the designer was on when he thought up this look, Can't believe that dining room is still like that today. I would think after a dry dock or 2 they would have fixed that?

 

This was many, many years ago when we sailed on Miracle.

It's a "miracle" you could even eat. Now I know what taking acid makes things look like.

Well, since today seems to be cat show and tell day, this is Lila. She is a Platinum Tonkenese....

 

 

Still playing "catch up", but had to jump in here to say that this cat is beautiful.  I am a cat lover and most of mine have been Siamese.
