Carnival - last minute

[debs1505]

Just booked to go 2 weeks Thursday! Having 3 nights in Orlando then a 4 night Bahama Cruise with Carnival, departing Port Canaveral! Never done Carnival before, so any comments appreciated!

we have done 7 day cruise with carnival and had a great time, we have never done it last minute though, we may do this next time. Let us know how you get on

Thanks C & D! Which ship were you on? We are on the Sensation. Ports of call are Nassau (been before) and Port Lucaya - the reviews I've read of there arent over grand. But where in the Bahamas isnt nice for goodness sake! Compare to rainy Newcastle!

Hi,
We went with Carnival in the summer and were rerouted to Nassau thanks to Hurricane Dean. The Sensation was in at the same time as us. It looked very nice.
We aren'r great fans of Nassau but went to a beach resort for the day which was very pleasant.
We loved our cruise and will definitely be going with Carnival again.
Wish I was going with you!

Hi Debs


its a few years ago now, but it was the carnival triumph and we did mexico, grand cayman and jamaica. we had a fantastic time, the ship was very relaxed, we were on over new year and had two formal evenings, one of which was new years eve, the children had a ball and we have yet to go back. The only reason we have not been back, is there has been so many other things to do.

Thanks guys! Been on the Carnival website and it does look pretty good. Will defo do a beach trip in Port Lucaya and venture alone in Nassau. Got some pretty good 'copy' designer hand bags at the straw market last time!

PS I want to live in Brock House!

I enjoyed our carnival cruise a few years ago, loved the casino and the shows.

Hi again Debs

I've actually gone and booked the carnival sensation for the 25th!

Done and dusted now! At last

I emailed carnival about where kids were allowed on the ship in the evenings (remember? - thanks for the good advice by the way)) and they sent back a nice email to me saying they are allowed everywhere!

Not sure which trip(s) to do in Nassau. Had a look at the list, but there is so many!

Not long now!

We just took a 6 night trip on the Carnival Liberty on the 9th Sept, we booked it about a month in advance. It was our first time cruising and cant wait to go again it was fantastic . Already looking at the Carnival site to book for next year. We cruised from Fort Lauderdale to Key West, Grand Cayman and Jamaica. I would have quite happily stayed on ship the whole time. I was worried as cruising used to have a snooty feel to it, NOT so, at least on the Liberty it wasent, never felt out of place once. Everybody was so freindly and couldnt do enough for you. We never did the Formal night on ship and judging by the people dressed up i reckon only about a quarter of the passengers did.
Have a great time , as im sure you will.

Thanks! All positive reviews of Carnival. I've only done RCL and can highly recommend them!

S & B - you will get on the ship when we get off it! You really will enjoy cruising! Have a fab time
