We are coming up on our fourth cruise, three being with Carnival.  The ease of coordinating and booking our vacations with OJ Callahan, our Personal Cruise Representative, is always fun and relaxing. OJ has booked all of our cruises and has dealt with several changes we were forced to make during the planning stages. He is very knowlegable and regularly contacts us with new information before we sail. The  task of boarding and settling in to our room ihas been one of the more pleasurable beginnings to any vacation we have experienced thanks to their helpful staff dockside. 

It doesn't matter which ship we have sailed on, the Carnival staff is friendly and helpful.  Our room stewards, as busy as they always seem to be, usually will greet us by name and ask how our trip is going and always ask if we need anything. Upon returning from an excursion, or evening out on board, our room is always fresh and in perfect order.  At night, the bed is turned down.  Room service is prompt with plenty of selections. 

The buffets have wonderful choices and the lines move quickly.  Lots of fun to experience the formal dining room, which we usually try to attend most evenings. 

From the casinos to the theater, on board shops and spas, or,  just hanging out and relaxing at the pools is wonderful.  We love the option to join in with a group or to just sit back in one of the many little quiet areas the ship has to offer.

Whenever we see children, regardless of age, they were well supervised and having fun. we notice the attendents seemed to genuinely enjoy their jobs working with the little ones.

Part of the excitement is the excursions, whether we are part of a supervised tour or just out on our own, its so exciting to see different countries and cultures without the hassle of dragging our luggage behind us.  We settle in once.

We plan to go on many more cruises.  We agree that its the best vacation we can experience for costs. 

And no we don't work for Carnival. We just really like them.
