We are considering booking a cruise on the Carnival Destiny for our anniversary next year (the 27th year) and I love the ports this southern caribbean cruise will go to BUT!!!!!!!!! I have read some very distressing things on other boards about Carnival and this ship in particular. Can anyone give us feedback to help!!!

We were on Destiny last October (2001) (our 40th year together!) and had a great time. There was some "minor" maintenance being done but nothing major. I thought the ship was in good shape. Photos at: http://community.webshots.com/user/robertew2000
Please email me if you have specific questions. I would definately sail Destiny again.

>>>I have read some very distressing things on other boards about Carnival <<<

As have we yet I had no problem booking our next cruise on the Sensation!

I think that the reason we hear more about Carnival is the fact that they have more ships handling more people than anyone else.
I have read many reviews and trip reports on different things and all must be taken with a grain of salt. We have no idea of the writers state of mind at the time.

I read a great review once....first from one point of view, than the other.
The first one made you wonder why the person didn't just go home, the other made you laugh out loud.

You read all those negatives your mind will focus there and you will find even more.

The best trip reports to read are those that are written in a 'matter of fact' style.
Then at the end they will list the good and the bad points.
Those writers don't let a bad expirience set the tone of the entire review and cloud the remaining events.

Just put me on a ship, any ship,going anywhere.

Leave it up to me to make the most of it.

(that's why God greated Corona!)

Hurry up March.

Hi there,

We were on the same exact cruise as "robertew" above! The Carnival Destiny was our first cruise, and we LOVED IT! We couldn't find anything that we didn't like about the cruise. The service was great, the people were memorable, and the destinations were great. We'd definitely go on another Carnival Cruise. We were even down in the bottom level of the ship, and were told that we would feel the waves a lot more, but with the stabilizers, it wasn't much of a problem. It was just great!

The only problem is that we are now "cruise addicts", and can hardly wait until our next cruise.

We were on the Destiny in April 2001. We had some trouble while we were on the ship. We were on the Verandah deck and there was a water main break from our room to the back of the ship. The water was turned of for chuncks of time during the day for 2 days. They gave us drink vouchers and a 10% discount on our next Carnival cruise. This was all done after we called the pursers desk and aksed what the problem was and when it was going to be fixed. Overall the ship was great. We also traveled the Destiny in1997 and had no problems. I guess anything can happen and they tried to solve the problem. LIFE GOES ON!!!

I have sailed on Carnival four times on four different ships. I have yet to find anything to complain about. On the contrary, Carnival is known for being "The Fun Ships" for a reason.

We sailed the Destiny a couple of weeks ago. It was fine. There was more good points than bad points. You will have a great time. If you have some specific questions, let me know.
