Oh, I don't disagree with you, yes we had them on Regent, Silversea and "O". I was just being snarly (wrong of me) but with all the problems Carnival is having with drinking and bad behavior I wouldn't resist. Sorry about that--yes I have cruised Carnival once, it just wasn't my style even when I was young. I've always liked better in travel, I've worked hard, travel a lot around the world both personal and business. Now retired I just want to enjoy life while I can, a get away for me is quiet time, no tours-stay on the ship unless there is something really I want to see or just a walk and lunch around a small town during port stops.. Wrong or right, selfish or not that's me--I'm polite, but don't necessarily want to have dinner with others until I get to know them (meaning) sitting around the pool, gym, coffee or a quick lunch.
