Hmmmm.... not for everyone... : )

Having gone on around 40 cruises overall, my one cruise on Carnival was more
than enough...

Just not my cup of tea. I much prefer the likes of Cunard and Celebrity.

Thank you for your interjection Ray, but I was replying to Tom K.

Our trivia partners on Celebrity Mercury (who helped fill in the
blanks of our knowledge) are long time cruisers on Carnival and really
like that cruise line. They went on one Princess cruise and were
highly annoyed when Princess charged them extra for ice cream. Said
they would never do a Princess cruise again. I've never done either
of them. I am looking forward to trying Carnival because I hear the
food is terrific. And although I was disappointed in the food and
general 'togetherness' of the crew on Grandeur of the Seas, we are
trying RCCL again next year on a different ship.

Tom, the only issue I have with Carnival is all the smoking and I know
that is also a health issue for you. If it weren't for that I would drag
you on a Carnival cruise so you could see how they have changed since
your 'ONE', very short cruise with them a very long time ago. If they
ever did anything about the smoke, I would cruise with them again and
would bet you would also enjoy Carnival.

Wanna bet that if I was going, as normal, on the Viking sailing this year...
that I'd have found us another "non-Carnival" option... just like I did last
year? : )

You said the same about Royal Caribbean. You came and now you like
their ships. I think Carnival was in the cards this year for Vikings no
matter what because people wanted something different.

Carnival is not the best cruise line but it is not as bad as you have
convinced yourself.

Why have you heard it as well? I was told about it approx. 14 months
ago, seems it had been in the works for awhile. Lucy (one of my
neighbours) who cruises princess atleast three times a year was told
by one of the purser staff.
