Creator's Key Takeaways

Honestly, our biggest mistake was not conducting more thorough research on the Carnival Radiance beforehand

the layout of the ship is super choppy

Would we do it again? No.

So the total for this cruise and we were completely shocked when we actually added all of this up and had the total was $10,481 9. So was it worth it? In our opinion, no.
