I just embarked on one of the most luxurious cruise lines in the world for less than a Carnival Cruise interior cabin which are typically known for being pretty cheap

the food was delicious it is French inspired Cuisine they started us off with a little baba ganoush appetizer from the chef

Carnival does Edge them out on the fun there with the addition of water slides and a roller coaster it's great for kids
