[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted at 12:03. I think it is silly and uninformed of posters to keep criticizing a cruise line they have never taken before. My first cruise thus far was the recent one on Carnival, and so I do not have any comparisons to describe. Yes, there were people enjoying the bar areas, but there were also many other patrons as well doing other things. Not everyone was "partying" or drinking.[/quote]

I'm the PP who said I'd never gone on Carnival. I tend to agree with you that you shouldn't comment based on second hand knowledge. However, as a very experienced cruiser who has spoken to *many* people and done a lot of research, I feel comfortable offering what I have learned. I know people who like Carnival but they tend to be the party-hopping type whose ideal vacation is "all-you-can-drink." I've also known a few people who have told me they don't like cruises. I always ask them what cruise they went on an 90% of the time they say a Carnival cruise.

I'm not saying everyone who enjoys a Carnival cruise is a crazy party animal who only wants to drink. However, if you don't enjoy being on a ship that is at least 50% of these kind of folks, then it is something to consider. PP, you may have been on one of their newer (more expensive) ships that draws a slightly different crowed, or maybe you're just more laid back about your fellow cruisers. I'm stuffy (okay, not really) and I like different things than others. Some people think those of us who love Disney are insane.

Hi PP, You responded to my post (at 12:03). I appreciate your response, and do understand what you're mentioning. To describe more, I am conservative and not a drinker/partying type. But I wasn't bothered by seeing people at the bars and so on. Also, like I wrote last, I didn't feel there were so many people aboard who were drinking or partying. There were quite a few kids (teens, younger), and that could get distracting, but that was probably due to the fact that it was sailing during the holiday time. It will be interesting to see what another cruise line is like, if we do go again. But based on this one experience, I don't think I'd rule out taking another chance on a Carnival trip.[/quote]
