I've only been on 2 cruises, and they were both on the Carnival Destiny, so I guess that's my favorite. But really, it was wonderful. Like Mebert, I loved the itinerary. The catamaran snorkel trip at Barbados, the beach in Aruba, dinner at El Gaucho's in Aruba. Sometimes I can close my eyes, and be on that catamaran, sun on my face, great music playing in the background, a drink in my hand...... Oh well, I only have ONE WEEK until we board the Miracle for another adventure. Already looking forward to a snorkel tour in Belize, the beach in Grand Cayman, exploring Cozumel and Costa Maya. ......catamaran.....sun on my face.....great music.....DRINK IN HAND!

:grin: I not only use a TA, I take her along! This year we have about 30 people going on the Carnival Miracle on Feb. 5th. She handles everything! When our documents came in, she had a pre-cruise party, during which she provided everyone with a goodie bag full of little cruise necessities, along with a Q&A session that was full of information. I don't think I would ever try to book on my own.

Our first two cruises were both on the Carnival Destiny and we loved it both times. We loved Aruba and were very happy to be going there again.

I'm so excited!! Going on the Carnival Miracle on 2/5/06. Only my 3rd cruise, all with Carnival (so far). Belize and Cozumel are both on the itinerary, and I'm wondering about the condition of the docks and/or ports. Has anyone been in the area since the hurricanes?

Thanks, everyone. It's going to take me a while to figure everything out, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it.
