Very lucky that our family cruise was last week.

We have liked Carnival for many years but clientele last week was a bit rough. Too many people thought they owned the ship.

Covid is taking quite a few folks into the realm of former cruisers

In the past when I wore a younger mans clothes they put out a pretty good product for the money.

As we have gotten older our tastes have changed and mostly sail on a more upscale cruise line.

However our grandkids really enjoyed Camp Carnival so overall glad we went with Carnival for this cruise.

This Mayhem has nothing to do with the Cruise Line.

I don't know about that... Carnival seems to have a disproportional share of this type of problem...

They do have a good deal of security on the ship. On last weeks cruise a passenger seemed to have flipped out, decided he was attacked by bed bugs and wanted to fight everyone. He was soon surrounded by about 10 security guys and hauled off to the ships jail.

Of course it does. They don't call it "Walmart of the Seas" for nothing. The clientele on Carnival is more likely to act in, umm, a less civilized manner.

I cruised Carnival for years and years in my 20s/30s/40s. I stopped cruising Carnival about ten years ago - it was a combination of me “outgrowing” that line, and seeing more and more “riff raff” cruising, attracted by their low fares. I’ve been much happier this past decade cruising Holland America and Celebrity.

Remember when women were raised to be ladies rather than thugs?

Carnival is the bottom of the barrel of cruise lines. They cater to the younger crowd with their older ships.
But you can get a jack&@$ on any cruise, plane that thinks they own the place. I hope these clowns get years of jail time.

Yes it does when you offer a cheap cruise and the morons can then afford to board
