    My wife and I took a Carnival cruise when we were dating back in 2009. You step one foot on that thing and think "I'm gonna be stuck on this for 5 days with THESE people???!!!" We should have done our homework better.

    Talk about dregs of humanity... I think they plucked every overweight, slovenly, uncultured, white trash, redneck, low IQ, pale skinned, overly hairy, middle America son of a bitch and put them all on that boat. We at least had a nice newlywed couple our age from Miami at our assigned dining table each night. But otherwise it was horrific.

    They had this [I actually struggle to type this, seriously] beer belly / hairy belly contest by one of the pools that they broadcast non-stop on the in-room TVs. It was so utterly sad that there was a young guy with Down Syndrome that participated. He had no idea what was going on, which made it so weird and disturbing.

    I later learned that most other cruise lines are far better. Wish we'd done Norwegian or something. In fact, we've resolved to only ever considering a cruise if it's something in the Mediterranean on a much smaller ship.

    • well, it's kind of the norm for the main dining hall dinners. you select a seating time, and have a table assigned.mg33
    • and when you arrive you are seated looking at Sloth from Goonies, but for real.mg33
