Creator's Key Takeaways
I'm one of Carnival's biggest fans, but I'm also their number one hater when it comes to being very upfront about its flaws and areas that they need to improve.
If you are looking for a super calm, quiet, relaxing cruise, look at other options.
I freaking love Carnival food. And I know it's not just me because I've taken a lot of people on their first Carnival cruise and almost every one of them says Carnival is either their favorite or one of their favorites.
The fights, they're a problem. Of any cruise line where you're going to see fights and outright brawls, chances are good it's going to be Carnival.
