We didn't have a balcony but I would definitely get one on my next cruise.

~ Agreed

I didn't find the pools were really big enough for swimming but the hottubs on deck were nice at night.

~ Agreed

The casino was a blast even though I'm not a big gambler. I went on a nice run playing blackjack the last few nights and ending up paying for my entire trip with a couple hundred left over.

~ Didnt go to the Casino

The destinations:
1 - Montego Bay, Jamaica - I hated this stop up until we got to Margarittaville. That place rocked and had a water slide from the third floor into the ocean. I did notice that one of the snorkel/catamaran excursions made a stop here for an hour or two. I'll do that next time. The shopping locations were filled with people trying/nagging you to buy their drugs/junk. We did pay $5 to go on one of the beaches and do some snorkeling.

~ We went to Ocho Rios... Dont go to the all inclusive beach party.. skimpy on food and drink. All we did was lay around. DO go to the 600 ft. waterfall climb... its long and not too step, great trip!

2 - Grand Caymen - Unfortunately it was raining this day. I went to some of the shops before stopping by Churchill's and grabbing some sticks to take to you guessed it.... Margarittaville.

~ Went here, it was also cloudy that day... This island has tons of shipwrecks, i suggest snorkeling or scuba if certified.. I Also agree on the choice of sticks.. pretty good selection and the margrittaville is one of the main things to do here.

3 - Cozumel - Went to one of the all-inclusive places and snorkeled, drank, rented jet skis, drank, got sunburned, drank, got a massage on the beach, drank and then we had some beers. Great stop!

~ We went to Costa Maya Mexico, its a small port with lots of shopping. We did a private beach tour which was great!

Bottom line.. I loved the Carnival Cruise I went on. Great food, the only set back is alcohol, smuggle some in if you can!
