My dh and I cruised on the Carnival Triumph NYC to Nova Scotia in August of 1999. We were not pleased. The guests on board were rather strange. One woman showed up in one of the theatres in bedroom slippers and curlers. The class of people on board was a little scary. The crew was nice, enjoyed our server for dinner, had to share a table with another couple. Carnival in my opinion is missing the disney magic. We will never vacation with anyone other than Disney.
