I love Carnival!  I've been on other 'upper class' ships and I prefer Carnival over them any day.  I can afford any cruise I want with any line I want to cruise with but Carnival is my line of choice.  I like the laid back, relaxing atmosphere.  Never mind that hurry up, dress up, be snobby atmosphere.  It's supposed to be a vacation not work.  

I found the staff and people in general to be more friendly, laid back and fun than on the other ships I was on.  

We cruise every year and I'm working on booking cruise #3 and possibly #4 with Carnival.  As long as Carnival does the ports I want to do I'll be there.

I could never imagine doing ANY cruise with ANY line with just a couple of people, would get boring!!!.  We do anywhere from 8 to 30 people a cruise and there is never a dull moment, only a lot of fun and laughs.

Nana is the best in the dining room.  Yoke is the best drink server and Xavier was an awesome room guy!

**Carnival Victory and Destiny both get my votes.  I'll have to tell ya about the Legend and Splendor after we sail.
