Can't wait to see some YouTube videos of her! Our first cruise, in 2006, was on Carnival Fantasy and she was gaudy to say the least. We've also sailed on Carnival Legend, Magic, and Liberty, and found them to be fun without as overbearing. DW and I have an almost unhealthy love for Alchemy, Red Frog, and the Lido grill areas on those 3. Mardi Gras looks like Carnival is keeping the fun but wants to "mature" a little, and she appears to have a lot to offer our DS x2 if we can peel them away from Vibe anytime soon. All this to say, I'm really excited to return to Carnival someday!
