I'll let you know in 30+ years when I'm old enough to feel the urge to be sequestered on a floating bacteria trap surrounded by gluttons and the the infirm.

My last cruise was right after several publicized incidents. Princess took incredible precautions, wiping down any counters or areas between each person. Whether it was registration desks, bar areas, or anywhere.

I'm not a big fan of Cruises, but this year, my wife and I took my in-laws on Norwegian for their 40th anniversary. I took the Norweigan Gem (their newest ship to the Fleet) in February, out of NY Harbor for 10 days to the Carribean to visit 5 islands. It's one of the best cruise liners in the world. Why? 2 words...Freestyle Cruising. It's a brilliant idea that I'm sure many other top liners are going to soon follow. Look it up, if you don't know what that is. Once you try it, you'll never want to go with another company again. It's brilliant marketing.
Carnival is ghetto. We took some clients on Carnival in 2000 and I'd rather shoot myself than ever go back on a Carnival ship.
Stay on the upper decks (Floors 11 or 12) and get a Suite with a balcony. It's the only way to roll.
PS - I gambled so much in their casino, they invited my wife and I back for a free trip again this coming February (Same ship, same dates...only difference is no Barbados. Puerto Rico, Antigua, St. Thomas, St. Maartin and Tortola). We gladly accepted.

I hated Carnival too. But Cunard, same parent company of Carnival, is very luxurious and nice. Very boring ship though. Casino was great! I brought $3000 there and only used $100 to win $2500. That's 2500% profit!!! But of course Calton probably dropped $100K to play. Now Calton, did you bring home extra cash or had to donate?
I remembered this same lady was losing like crazy on the NCL. She signed on already $50K and she called her bank to get $25K more! I was like, u gotta be crazy.

Wow. The price for it on our cruise is $25,000 for two persons. I'd jump on it as the Garden Villa suites are unbelievable.
From what I have read on the net, the Garden Villa suites are absolutely amazing -- the biggest suites available at sea at over 5,000 square feet. That price is only $3,000 more than we are paying for an AB Suite for 9 days -- a suite almost 10 times smaller than a Garden Villa suite.
I have read that sometimes as the cruise data approaches, you can get an "upsell" on the GV -- that is, snag it at a much much lower rate than the rack rate. I am hoping that we get that opportunity. So far, there is still one unsold GV on my cruise but given that it staddles Thanksgiving, I bet that it gets booked. But hope springs eternal.
