We have about 20 cruises on Carnival under our belt with the latest being just before Covid (Feb 2020). Mostly 5 & 7 day cruises.
Just haven't had enough desire to get back on the ships again since then. Maybe next year (I keep saying).
With that said, we customize our time onboard to not run into problems like seen on the video.
We are up at 5:30 AM to get our steps in up on the track. Then we go back to the room to get cleaned up and ready for the day. Then off to the dining room for breakfast. We don't get off the ship at the ports until most of the crowds have thinned out. Sometimes we stay on board and enjoy the empty ship.
We get back to the ship before the crowds. Some days we'll grab a quick bite for lunch on the Lido. We eat in the dining room every night and then listen to music near the casino before turning in. Most of our free time is spent on our balcony enjoying the sea (and the peace & quiet).
