Carnival is FULL of niggers. Pay double and go royal caribian
Depends on what you like and where you like to go. If you want to see many ports of call and not have to fly each time then a cruise may be for you. Of course like anything else it's about the money. There are some great deals to the Caribbean and almost anywhere in the world. My last cruise was on Holland America in a presidential suite and there was little left to the imagination right down to a Butler and a 24/7 private chef and private balcony but that said no matter the level you won't be disappointed but that's Holland America. Do your homework because if you don't want older people there are lines that specialize in family's, younger people without kids, basically something for everyone's taste but if you assume every cruise is alike and are looking for some romance with your so, carnival may not be your best choice. Just Joogle and you'll find something to give you a great time. The only caveat I'd mention is if you're looking for a ship with gambling then plan on losing money. Cruise ships aren't as strictly regulated for gambling if at all. Good luck man and have a great time!
Cool, thanks for the input! It would just be me and my woman.

edit: see comments too, I'll never forget this:
My husband and I met performing on Carnival Cruise ships. We referred to them as WalMart of the Seas. That's basically the clientele. It's the weirdest lifestyle you can imagine. All my most vile human stories come from my five years working for them. I'm still shocked reality tv has not capitalized on the insane amounts of human debaucery that occurs on them, it's unreal. And yes they have a jail. And it's usually right next to the morgue. On longer cruises, which attract older clientele, they have a larger morgue because these old people die on ships ALL the time and they have to store them somewhere until they get back home. I was on a ship where several old people kicked it within the first few days and I saw the captain of the ship who said that if anyone else died they would have to empty the ice cream freezers which eerily played into a joke among the crew that if they were serving ice cream in our dining room for no reason, it meant they needed to stash a body.
Lmao
It’s worth experiencing but I probably won’t go on another one. Mostly it was eat, drink, eat, drink, check out some entertainment, eat drink some more. All amenities are extra so plan on spending the cost of your ticket again. ‘All inclusive’ is misleading, you’re constantly being tempted with extras. Yeah shopping mall at sea is about right except you can’t leave when you want, so spend more $. I prefer to rent a condo and a car so I can plan my own excursions on my own timeframe. The “cattle” comment is probably pretty accurate.
Yep, not a fan of the big ocean cruises at all. I don't get the appeal. If I wanted to see a foreign country in the Caribbean, I'd just hit up an all-inclusive resort and go on a few tours. I wouldn't do a villa or vacation rental until I knew the area.
they are just an overpriced shopping mall on water. You can't escape!
"Day Seven: The hurricane pushed us out to sea. We can't make port." "Day Nine: All the toilets are backed up. This morning I had to shit in a bucket." "Day Thirteen: The crew is searching for a man name Hernandez. They say he may have gone insane and jumped overboard. They found some weird medical carrying case in his stateroom, with broken glass vials in it." "Day Sixteen: Everyone is sick. The ship's doctor doesn't know what it is, but he's got it too." "Day Twenty-one: I think we're all going to die. If you find this notebook, pray for us."
Sounds like something from resident evil
Shit, that sounds as bad as my experiences were. At least I was getting paid!
A floating septic tank staffed with surly Turd-Worlders, great
I've been looking into cruises too, there are massive cruise ships with everything you would ever need including movie theatres. From what I understand you can rent a cabin on the thing and just live there. It's probably really nice.
There'a also cheap shitty cruises. Watch for the really huge ones they're floating cities.
What your ticket buys you is: square feet-your accommodations,everything else is the same,food,activities,tours.
I always tell folks,go to an expert ie: a Travel Agent,they know everything you need to know & they get you the best deal and TIME,
Time is the key: for me-3 day cruise-to short,10 day cruise-WAY to fucking long,7 day perfect-I run out of patience & cash on the 6.5 day.
Good idea. I didnt even think about a travel agent.
Do it. We can really help, especially if you're booking travel you're not familiar with at all.
Destination has as lot to do with the type of crowd you will be on board with. My wife and i don't like to be around people so we like north bound cruises. The cruises that go south have all of the loud party people. I can write for hours about things but i will just address your questions from my opinions.
What company is the best, with the best experience to be had, and the best ships
I prefer Norwegian. The crowd seems to be older and quieter. Carnival is a carnival. Think party party party. I think most cruises are going this way but Norwegian has anytime dining. That means no assigned meal times and assigned tables.
Would it be perfectly fine to get one of the cheaper cabins and still have a lot of fun,
Yes. You won't be spending your days in the cabin. Think of it as a place to sleep. We always upgrade our room to a balcony because my wife smokes. And we can keep the door open to hear the water at night. The upgrade usually is around $200 so it's not a big purchase for a bit of extra.
If you are bored on a cruise, it's your fault. There's is plenty to do. The bigger ships have more activities but also more crowds so longer wait times. I was on a smaller ship and got to see all of the shows and do all of the activities but they weren't as grand. On a big crowded ship we had to be an hour early to shows just to get a seat and wait in long lines for activities (water park on top of ship).
If you are a drinker, get the drink package. It's worth it. If not, and you are ok with drinking just tea and water ( soda is extra), save your money.
Don't visit the stores unless you feel like blowing money. The shopping section is just an overpriced mall.
Don't stand in lines. Don't follow the crowd. Everytime we saw people bunch up in a line we went the alternate route and walked right to the front. It happened so much we started calling it "the phenomenon". We would go for lunch, encounter a huge line and then walk 20 feet to another entrance and just walk into the buffet while the other people would wait for a half hour to get in. People are stupid and will follow the leader even when the leader is an idiot.
Be prepared to spend a lot of money. Or not. Just be prepared. You can cruise for no more than your ticket price and still have a good time. Especially if you like sightseeing. And ignore the shops that everyone hits immediately after getting off at a port. They are worse than the stores on boat. But have money for the taxis and plan ahead.
I'm going to stop or i will ramble on for ages, I you have specific questions just ask and i will answer as best as i can. I highly recommend trying a cruise at least once.
Awesome reply. Thanks man
The pool is basically a giant, unflushed toilet.
Ah yes, just like my old small-town municipal pool. I'd feel right at home, and proceed to make it mine as well.
