So if we were looking for an "Exhibit A" for the "Carnival is the party cruise line" theory, I guess we've found it.As far as the "party crowd" on Carnival... here was our experience last week: it was a short, inexpensive cruise, so we expected the party crowd, but were shocked. During formal dinner (early seating) a table of 8 20-something girls came in, obviously already drinking. I'm assuming it was a bachelorette party, because they had party favors with them. Specifically a hot-pink squirt gun shaped in the form of you-know-what. They started squirting it into each others mouth across the table - which caused an uproar from guests seated around them. Their response "It's only water!" (like THAT was the problem?!?). There were kids sitting at dinner around them too. The response of the staff? Round of shots! I think their waiter did at least 3 rounds of shots with them during dinner. Did I mention this was early seating at the formal dinner?
This is interesting, because I really hated the way Disney disembarks. So if Carnival is worse... I don't know what that means, actually.We also like the way Disney disembarks better - Carvnival kept telling us where we needed to wait for our group to be called.
These are definitely the two Carnival ships I've been eyeing. I saw the Mighty Cruise Ships episode featuring Vista and have been intrigued ever since.P.s.: Look up the Carnival Vista and the Carnival Horizon.
