Next time I want to try another cruise line, I hear others are fancier. Honest thoughts: they treat you like royalty, straighten your room 3x a day I think, everyone super friendly and polite. It was the most relaxing, carefree, forget about everything vacation I have ever had & the best vacation money can buy.

However, I did not find the food as great as everyone brags on it-perhaps other cruise lines are better.

Tips: get the little patches for sea sickness and put them on, and if you are a diet coke/soda junkie like me, buy the card for unlimited soda, you will come out better.

It was Carnival that you took, right? I think they are the only line to leave New Orleans. The food wasn't amazing, but it sure was all you could eat!
