This sailing on board the Destiny will be my very first Carnival Cruise!
I've sailed Royal Caribbean twice previously, most recently last month on the Enchantment during Hurricane Ike! The rough weather kind of "iked" up our itinerary, so I decided another cruise was the proper course of action. As a Floridian, I might as well enjoy the close proximity I have to all the cruise ports.
I'm a single male, sailing solo and anxious to see what kind of stateroom I'll wind up with, having booked the guarantee 1A category.
Also anxious to hear more details about the status of Grand Turk and their hurricane recovery efforts, as well as which shore excursions will still be viable. They got the tar kicked out of them by Ike, and it will be a long time before things outside the Cruise Center there return to normal. I'd heard Carnival would offer us a volunteer-humanitarian-style excursion to help the residents of the island. Does anyone know anything about this?
