rhino, while i am sorry you had a negative experience with carnival, there are many others who DO like carnival for the very reasons you do not. to make such a statement is simply your personal experience and opinion. As for your comment about doing a google search, i did one... and you know i found as many reports of people that like carnival over RCCL, or NCL... i've said it before, i'll say it again. each cruiseline offers something different for different people. it does not imply that one is either better or worse than their counterparts. It simply means that some people prefer one line over another for their own personal reasons. Me personally cruise on different lines mostly for itineraries, or savings. I also book cruises on different lines because i want to have different experiences. I will most likely be sailing on HAL next as they currently offer a 10 day panama cruise out of FT Lauderdale. I chose carnival this time because i am sailing with family members who have not cruised before and i didn't like any of RCCL's itineraries, and cost was an issue(RCCL seems to think their product is worth a 20% premium for the same itinerary offered by CCL. I personally don't think RCCL is worth the 20% premium in fare). I have yet to sail X, NCL, Princess, or the many other lines offered.
