We must be the exception.....We love Carnival!
We are Platinum cruisers on Carnival and are 63 yrs young. We enjoy the larger cabins and the larger number of balcony cabins available, which lower the cost of those great cabins.
We do avoid summer and spring break, but have never found Carnival to be rowdy, although there will be rowdy drunks on any ship you sail. That is just a fact.
The Princess and Celebrity ships we sailed were filled with senior-seniors. Lots of walkers and scooters. I am not saying that as a negative! We still plan to cruise when we are 20 +yrs older. Those lines do seem to appeal to the more senior set.
But Carnival provides us with the amenities we enjoy, at a great price, and lots of options of ports, length of cruises etc.
We sail on Sept 30 from HNL to SYD. Carnival is relocating a ship to Australia and it is a 17 day cruise with 3 days in Tahiti and 1 day in Fiji. Can't wait!!!
Different strokes for different folks. We love cruises and I'd be happy to go on any ship any time anywhere!! A cruise is an awesome relaxing vacation!!
