Creator's Key Takeaways

I've just got back from my first Carnival Cruise and how long I've waited to say that it was absolutely amazing

I cruised out of New York City which is very very far away from us here in the UK

I never found any other Brits on this Cruise um there probably were some but I never found any so it was a very very American Experience

I think Carnival gets an unfair reputation for fighting um I'm sure fights happen I'm sure they do but they happen on other Cruise Lines too

Creator's Tips & Advice

Don't give yourself a crazy schedule that you want to do everything
Leave time in your schedule to chill out because that's kind of the point of a cruise

YouTube Video Description

For YEARS I've wanted to try and Carnival cruise and it finally happened! I've just got back, so let's chat about it. I cruised onboard the Carnival Magic to Canada from NYC. What a dream come true. Carnival are known as the 'fun ships' and I definitely had lots of fun onboard. It wasn't what I expected, but more about that in the video. Usual time, 5pm UK (12pm Eastern). Looking forward to it, I love these live streams. Thank you so much to everybody who followed along with my Carnival adventure and left comments and questions, it really helps me to form my review and video which I'm doing now, hopefully, next week the first video will be live.
