Carnival Cruise Line

MS Carnival Destiny

Your Rating:Five Stars
Reviewed by:T. Williams
# previous cruises: 4
Date of Trip: July 27, 1999
Itinerary: Eastern Caribbean

Overview
If you are single, have a family, or are of any age, this ship is perfect for you. If you are looking for a dream vacation, with good food, service, and entertainment, this ship is an absolute gem.

Public Areas
Public rooms are so beautifully designed, with bright lights, and beautiful shades and colors. The crew is wonderful. I have one complaint here however, I do not think smoking should be permitted in the public rooms. The pools are great, and the casino is HUGE!!!!

Food and Service
I personally think the food on this ship, and all of Carnival's ships, is very underrated. The food was delicious. The service is wonderful, and the waiters and busboys were almost TOO helpful. I have another small complaint. I think they should give better portion sizes. It would really take a lot of stress off of staff members. Otherwise, fantastic. The dining rooms are the same.

Cabins
The Cabins are relatively large compared to any other ship at sea. They were very roomy, however, the closet space and bathroom are nothing to brag about. I think it is wonderful that so many rooms have balconies.

Entertainment
Entertainment was AMAZING. There is always something going on aboard this ship. The shows were fantastic. The music and acting was comparable to many Broadway-style shows. I would rate the staff and entertainers 4 1/2 of 5 stars.

Activities
Activities were plentiful. I participated in many games on board, and used the gym several times. The casino was great. We stopped in San Juan and other Eastern Caribbean Ports. They were a little boring, so we just went back on the fabulous ship. Child care was always available.

Who Goes
The fellow passengers were mixed. Some of them were nice, and others were very rude. I would probably not invite any of them over for dinner.
