Carnival Cruises from the UK

Anyone sailed with Carnival from Dover?

Might be worth asking on the Carnival board as well.

What questions did you have? 

Is it  mainly about the ship  or cruising from Dover?

Yes what do you want to know

Worth considering for a first time cruiser? I was looking at a budget cruise line like MSC, but Carnival look good value too.

Not sure that MSC can be considered a budget cruise line !

I suppose that "budget" means different things to different people, but I would put MSC alongside Costa and, to a lesser extent, Carnival as offering good value for money. 

 

We all have different criteria for our ideal cruise. For me,  small is beautiful - 3000+ passengers is too many and cruises that are aimed at the family market do not appeal. But that's me, and I understand that others will disagree. Also that we all change our ideas as we get older and children leave home etc.

Mind you, if you look at the cost of the Yacht Club on MSC you are into luxury cruise line territory !
