I CRUISED ON THE DESTINY ON 4/13/08. IT WAS GREAT!! WE WERE A GROUP OF APPROXIMATELY 30 PEOPLE AGES 3 TO 74 AND EVERYONE HAD A GOOD TIME. I CRUISED WITH CARNIVAL 19 YEARS AGO AND THINGS HAVE ONLY GOTTEN BETTER! MY STATEROOM WAS KEPT IMPECCABLY CLEAN.OUR WAITER,ARNUL WAS BOTH FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. THE ENTERTAINMENT AND ACTIVITIES ORGANIZED BY DARCY OUR CRUISE DIRECTOR KEPT EVERYONE GOING. ( CAN YOU CLONE DARCY AND PUT HER ON ALL YOUR SHIPS? ) ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T PRE-BOOK ANY TOURS, AT EVERY PORT YOU CAN FIND HELPFUL TAXI DISPATCHERS OR TOUR GUIDES WILLING TO MEET ANY OF YOUR TOURING REQUESTS. THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE IN OUR GROUP HAD NEVER CRUISED BEFORE, BUT THEY ALL AGREED THEY WANTED TO DO THIS AGAIN.

ON MY NEXT CRUISE (CARNIVAL OF COURSE !! )I WILL OPT TO PAY MORE FOR MY ROOM TO BE ON A HIGHER DECK. ALSO 6 PORTS IN 7 DAYS IS ALOT. NO TIME TO RELAX ABOARD THE SHIP. EVERYDAY YOU WANT TO GET OFF TO VISIT THE NEW ISLAND. AT LEAST 1 DAY AT SEA IS BETTER.
