Both Cindy and I are convinced that balcony cabins are the only way to go now. <br /><br />Have you booked on the Vista yet? We are reallly wanting to do the TA on the Panorama in a couple of years.Patrick N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03129690913317846568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925131761044072546.post-66345674605047391382018-01-10T08:01:35.965-06:002018-01-10T08:01:35.965-06:00Nice Patrick!

Soooo, we back clips (Chips Clips, Clothes pins, etc) to help hold the curtains together. To keep them against the walls - magnets! We still get SOME light in, but it helps. We did book an interior once ... we damn near slept the entire cruise!!

Carnival has expanded their vegetarian menus, too, just FYI.

Thanks for the kind words about the entertainers. I don't know Rob Little or Joanne, but I'm sure they are great. I often miss my days with Carnival, but shifting into corporate event entertainment has been much more lucrative and was a smart career move for me. The next time I cruise may be as a passenger instead of a fly-on entertainer. :)<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11412089195311603402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925131761044072546.post-90988784125212332342018-01-08T12:42:51.575-06:002018-01-08T12:42:51.575-06:00Glad to help!

From Galveston, Carnival ships typically sail full, as I'm sure the other cruise lines do as well.<br /><br />On the last few Carnival ships we've been on, most decks, other than Lido, don't feel so crowded in general. There are exceptions, of course, but overall you can usually find a quiet spot to relax in. <br /><br />I've always enjoyed Carnival's food selection. Even as picky as I am, there's usually something I'll enjoy, especially the desserts. If you cruise with the boys, they'll be happy to know that both pizza and soft serve ice cream are available 24/7.

Not that it doesn’t sound fun - it does! But maybe if there were less people lol! Scott and I are not fond of lines and crowds. Is there a particular time of the year that’s better to take a cruise with less people? If so, I’d definitely check it out. I’m just not so sure about sharing a hot tub with strangers haha! On a separate note, yum to the food! Cindy’s creme brulee looked amazing. That’s one of my favorite desserts. Looking forward to reading about your adventure in Grand Turk!!
