Creator's Key Takeaways

that was probably the worst changing we've ever experienced and we've cruised quite a bit and at least once a month

one of the disadvantages of these older ships is this dreaded shower curtain shower curtains suck they stick to you they're no fun

so far it's a cruise so you know we love to cruise but as far as Carnival goes you know not one of our better cruises

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring a universal USB adapter or power strip for extra outlets
Consider an older ship for better rates if excursions are the priority
Be prepared for potential wear and tear on older ships even after refurbishment

YouTube Video Description

Carnival Radiance (formerly Carnival Victory) is a Destiny-class cruise ship operated by Carnival Cruise Line. Ordered by Carnival in 1997, the 101,509 GT vessel was the third Destiny-class cruise ship to join the fleet after her debut in 2000 and became one of the largest cruise ships of her era. In 2021, she was renamed Carnival Radiance after a US$200 million refit was completed in October and she commenced service under her new name in December. ---- 🙏🏽 SUBSCRIBE for more videos! https://www.youtube.com/@ShugAlansAdventures?sub_confirmation=1 🫶🏽Join our channel to get your name in our videos, discounts on Merch and more! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeMpg_qlS0LNnV0WTBu2bbA/join 👍 Check out our other channel for more exciting videos! https://www.youtube.com/@ShugAlansWildAdventures 👚Buy Shug & Alan merch https://shugalansadventures.myspreadshop.com Follow us on social media: 👍 https://www.facebook.com/ShugAlansAdventures 📸 https://www.instagram.com/ShugAlansAdventures/ ✌️ https://www.tiktok.com/@ShugAlansAdventures 🐦https://twitter.com/ShugAlansAdv Donations to help support our channel https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=YPR6P3SXELPCU
