Well I'm back from the Caribbean Cruise Amanda and I went on. Here are some photos of the places we visited along with the LCdH in Grand Cayman. It was an amazing trip and I proposed to Amanda on the beach in Grand Cayman. She said yes. :D

We spent the first night in Biscayne Bay and went to Monty's for Dinner. It was awesome!

The next day we took a free Alamo shuttle to the port and it was dark, cloudy and we could hear thunder in the background.

What did you think of Carnival? I've yet to cruise with them and would sure like to hear your opinion. Judging from your photos, looks like a pretty nice ship.

Glad you enjoyed.
While Monte's is very good, next time in the area, if this same time of the year (winter), treat yourself to Joe's on Miami Beach.

We were on the Carnival Liberty a Conquest Class ship, 110,000 tons, 952 feet long. It was awesome! I have gone on 3 Carnival cruises now and I don't think I'll change lines.

It was awesome! I have gone on 3 Carnival cruises now and I don't think I'll change lines.


Don't cheat yourself.
Give others a try.
All the cruise lines vary and all have great things to offer.

I bet you will like Royal Caribbean. What I like most about RC is the way they reward you for being loyal. Far exceeds other lines.
As your Crown and Anchor Society level increases, you get fantastic discounts on cabins off best price you can find, a reception with free booze, discount coupons while on the cruise, gifts such as hats, bags, etc., special departure room for your level along with special reception room while you wait to board the ship should you get there early as I always do. In my case, on my cruise last week, I even got invited by the captain himself to do a bridge tour.

Interesting...might have to try RC. They are more $ than Carnival and I hear they have an "older" crowd on board. I did go to the past guest party on Carnival and had free drinks. They also had two other parties that had free drinks. I got my fair share of free drinks. :al

I am not sure about the older crowd thing on RC. I think if one talks about RC's other more upscale line, Celebrity, then yeah, no doubt I would agree.
RC has a very good overall mix of everything. I guess I gauge it by the Latin Boleros, which they all seem to have and by their club, like the Dungeon on the Navigator. Both are packed nightly with people dancing up a storm until closing time.
I find RC to be no different in age mix as Carnival or NCL.
Then again, what the heck, I just realized, I will be 51 soon. I am no spring chicken anymore. How dare I think I am not old.:r
