Question

i'm looking to go ..on Carribean and/or Mexican Cruise from New Orleans.. but while looking at one site .. people rated the Carnival Cruise Line - Fantasy a 2 1/2 out of 5 stars. What experiences have you had ? What do you recommend or not ?

Thank You

i dont really like tourist areas.. but i've never been on a cruise.. do you think its still worth it ?

Answer 1

absolutely!

We've traveled to New Orleans a couple of years ago and took the carnival Fantasy ship. We had nothing but fun.

We enjoyed just about everything about the boat. But if you don't like to lay around the ship or catch all the things listed on the interary, you may not enjoy it.

hope this helps. Were going again this weekend as a matter of fact. So now I'm shopping for a place to stay overnight Let me know if you know of a safe place that allows kids.

Thanks

Answer 2

My in-laws did the Caribbean cruse through Carnival I believe. They enjoyed the weather and the scenery but overall wasn't something they'll do again. The hotel was alright, not that great, and in a dirty bad part of town. I guess the hotel recommended they not walk anywhere, take a cab and stay indoors. I guess bad things can happen to tourists!! :) On several of their stops, they had fun but said they saw so much poverty and bad living conditions it really put a bad feel on it. But they got some great pictures and enjoyed being on the ocean.

Answer 3

The cruise itself was probably accurate at 2 1/2 but both
New Orleans and Caribbean / Mexico are more of a 1.
( all sleazy tourist traps )

Answer 4

I went on the Sensation from New Orleans to Cozumel. The only bad experience we had was Tropical Storm Cindy decided to join us! :) Besides that it was a great experience
