I think it all goes back to the old days. Some of you may remember when Carnival started way back in 1972 with the Mardi Gras (the sand bar sailing LOL) They were a very relaxed atmosphere with hot dogs and beer. This is what helped the company grow so fast and helped break the face of cruising. As the industry continues to explode and expand so does the way they do business. Do I agree with it? No, I think there are some things that should just be left alone, but I gurantee that you can expect to see changes to accomodate the clientel that the company is trying to attract
