Answer 1

Food on Carnival is just OK; it's deteriorated quite a bit in just a few years.

Carnival has formal nights, just like most cruise lines, where you are expected to really dress up, but they don't really enforce it. As long as you don't try to wear a bathing suit or a ratty T, you'll be OK!! For formal night, you'd probably at least want to wear "nice" pants and shirt and maybe a tie. Women would wear a "cocktail" type dress or dressy pants outfit.

Don't know how much the soda card is [see below].

I had two great and one good cruise on Carnival - all on newer ships than the Fascination. But as they say, even a "bad" day on a cruise is better than being at work!!

For lots of info, go to CruiseCritic.com, click on "Boards" and find everything you need to know, from those who've been there!

Have a great time!

BTW - a really nice place to go in Coz is Chankanaab Park. No need to use the cruise tour; just get a cab and go. [The park has a website - check it out. I think they even have a coupon for a discount on admission.] Lots of people also like Paradise Beach, but I've been to both and much prefer CP.
