Jackie...it&#39;s your honest opinion.  Don&#39;t be afraid to give it&#33;  I totally understand.  Marc and I had a really bad experience on our last Carnival cruise, but that was back in 1986.  We are thinking of giving them another try on a group cruise coming up next summer.  It may make the difference on which ship you are on.  Some have come back from Carnival after being away for awhile and said it has changed and they had a great experience, so it could be the ship, the people, the cooks, and many different things.   One person can be in the same dining room and have a great waiter and great food, and the next person can have the worst waiter in the same dining room and get the worst of the food, so I love to hear everyone&#39;s honest opinion and what happened to them.<br /><br />I know it&#39;s hard to write a review when so many things went wrong, but I would love to hear about it if you&#39;re up to it.<br /><br />Hi Rose...yup that fresh sea air can&#39;t be beat&#33;   <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />   Thanks for reminding me of the kitchen show on HGTV...I have to watch and dream of remodeling mine someday.
