Hi, I have done 4 Carnival cruisies and I must say I have never done a cruise that I did not like. Carnival is the home of the "Fun Ship" and fun is what they specialize in. They usually have a lot geared toward the 20-40 age group, but I thought each time that it was a wonderful set-up. I will be cruising on Royal Caribbean Sovereign of the Seas in December. I heard that they are great and a little more classy in presentation since they cater to a little bit older age group. I am only 41 and expect to have just as much fun, since I heard RCC is loaded with fun too. So obvious you can't go wrong with either. Therefore enjoy! JennyB

I love cruising!! We went on the Royal Carribian a few years ago on an Eastern cruise. In May we are going to try the West on Carnivale. I'm so excited I can't wait to go!! We are going to Cozamel, Belize, Grand Caymen and Hondurs.

Have a great time!

My husband, daughter and my daughter's boyfriend are all going on Royal Caribbean's Legend of the Seas. We are doing the Western Caribbean, including Grand Cayman, Belize, Costa Maya & Cozumel Mexico. We are leaving out of Tampa Florida. We are all very excited. I had the gastric lap band surgery on 2/7/05. So I will be just over a year out from the surgery. Meals should be interesting. I do not eat any bread, pasta or rice and I do not drink anything carbonated. But I eat most every thing else. The insurance company had me promise not to drink alcohol for a year after the surgery. This will be the first drinks since before the surgery. We are looking forward to doing a lot of hiking which I could not do when I was a lot heavier. I have lost more than ninety pounds. Diana

HI, The best Cruise Line without a doubt is Royal Caribbean. I've been on 5 other cruise lines and Royal Caribbean maked me feel the most welcome. They went above and beyond thir duty to make sure my husband had everything that we needed. Don't do Carnival. The experiences I had on them was. I went on an excursion in Ochos Rios, Jamaica with my husband and about 100 or so others. We went to Dunn's River Falls, the water is gross. It's muddy and not clear. As we were walking up the falls with the tour guide, I lost my balance and slipped on the rocks and landed a few hundred feet away in the ocean. No one at the falls had any medical experience or medical anything. I got back to the ship, went to the Purser's office and told them what happened. They said it serves me right, someone being as fat as me shouldn't have been doing it and that if I wanted to see the doctor I had to pay out of pocked. I had travel insurance. They said that it will not be able to be used. At this point I was so pissed off that I started yelling that everyone could hear me. Sone big wig from the ship came over and asked what happened. I told him and that I wanted to see the ship's doctor. He said I couldn't because it was my fault that I fell and that the doctor was busy. So as you can tell, it was the cruiseline from Hell. Since that fateful voyage i've done Royal Caribbean once a year and I get treated like a Queen. That's my opinion. Others will say differently. Whichever one you go on have fun. Don't get off at Ochos Rios if you go there. It's filthy dirty and nothing to do. Lisa J
