Royal Carribean or Carnival Destiny or Hotetor beach paradise all inclusive?
We are more into seeing the sites, and have loved our criuses in the past. In Feb. 2009 we are taking our 18,14 yrs old on a trip either a cruise or all inclusive. A carribean cruise, which ship?or all inclusive to Cancun?
Answer :
I would choose the Carnival Destiny. They offer the best value that I have seen. My kids, 12 and 14, love it. They are never bored, and they love the 24/7 pizza.
Answer :
I would definitely go with Royal Caribbean. I have cruised both and royal gives you your monies worth. They have a lot more to offer onboard so your kids have a better chance of not getting bored and enjoying themselves. Carnival's prices are cheaper and it shows in the quality of service and lack of onboard amenities and activities. I think with royal you would get more bang for your buck and a chance to see some great islands. Go to both websites and compare the ships you are interested in to see what they offer. Also read the reviews on cruise critic. As for the all inclusive, it sounds nice but can add up when you include the all inclusive fees. Also depending on when in February you may start to run into the spring break crowd, and Cancun is a lively spring break destination. That may not be the type of atmosphere you want your kids exposed to.

How many beds *plus pullouts or pullman* in a Carnival Destiny in Interior room??
I want to go on a cruise to Jamaica with my family on January 3rd!
is there one then??
the bed question @ the top.
Answer :
There are 2 beds, with 2 pullouts that pull out from the ceiling. I was just on the exact same ship going to mexico. Have fun !
(The couple's package may have one queen sized bed, with 2 pullouts)
Answer :
generally youll find two lover beds plus maybe a retracteble soffa. All the others are pullmans that means that the beds is stowed against the walls when not needed. Some off them are high up in the roof meaning that youll have to climb a stair to get to them.
For correct information see our cruise lines web page and the floor plan of the ship. There you can find your cabin (by searching after your cabin number) and see whats it have. Othevise have fun! Johan
Answer :
Number of berths ranges from 2 to 5 (yes, 5). there are also Interior Staterooms with connecting doors.
The Destiny will be leaving Jan 3rd for a 5 day Caribbean that includes Ocho Rios, Jamaica

My Fiance and I are going on a cruise for our Honeymoon...can anyone tell me about Carnival Destiny?
We are going on Carnival Destiny? How is the ship?? We are staying in a Balcony Room. What is the formal dinners like? What do we wear? Anything you can say to help us!! Please!!
Answer :
The easiest way is to go to carnival.com and click on ships
then click on the ship destiny , it'll show pictures and all you need for your trip. The ship is very large , and plenty of ammenities. The Balcony room is a very good room much bigger than normal staterooms. The Formal dinners are pretty formal , but it's only one night and it's worth it , we got great pictures of it and the food was awesome. However I must stress that Carnival is a crowded ship , and if youre on youre honeymoon ,not much for seclusion for you and your mate. You wear business casual all over the ship dress shorts and sundresses not really jeans. Your port of calls are the most fun but remember to stick together, youre in a foreign country after all, be safe. And go on tours theyre fun and well worth it. Don't drink too much as that's how you get seasick. Learn to say no to the servers about drinks, after all water and coffee and juice are free. So is room service use it it's free.You need to tip them but you should anyway. Have fun.
Answer :
you will love cruising!!! the Destiny is a great ship, I sailed on her a couple years ago. Sure there will be a crowd but you just have to keep in mind you're on vacation and have a good time. The only time I really noticed the crowds was during lunch in the buffett, getting off at ports and sea days by the pool. On sea days get a chair on the higher decks, that way you'll get a better breeze, view of the ocean and away from the crowds. You can find ways to get away....like your cabin, it is your honeymoon after all *wink wink*.
Formal nights- you can wear a cocktail dress, skirt and cute top, or heck even a ballgown! the other nights you can just wear dress pants, skirts, or sundresses. you can even wear jeans but some people may give you a weird llok, who cares? it's vacation.
hint-sea sickness......dramamine makes you drowsy and doesn't work well with alcohol. but GINGER PILLS are a natural motion sickness remedy. i've only ever been sea sick once and the ginger pills worked awesome! you can buy them at any store in the vitamin aisle.
Answer :
The Destiny is one of Carnival's older ships and she sails from San Juan, meaning there may be a lot of "locals" on the trip. This makes a difference to some people and not to others. It is also a port-intensive itinerary, so you'll be very busy [and spend more on shore trips] - you see lots of different islands, but it's not as relaxing as having several sea days.
Formal dinners can be very dressy, although Carnival supposedly recently revised their dress code [which they were very lax in enforcing anyway], so it's hard to say. You could get by with dressy black pants or long black skirt with a couple of dressy tops and be just fine. Men should at least have a jacket or suit - some men will be wearing tuxes [which you can rent on board, if you like].
If this is your first cruise, I suggest you get a book about cruising from your library or bookstore, or go to CruiseCritic.com. Click on "Boards", then go to any topic that interests you. You might also be interested in "Cruise Styles" ["Romance"] and "Reviews", especially "Member Reviews". You'll get all the info you could possibly use from experienced cruisers.
Have a great cruise and congratulations on your marriage.
One suggestion for Dominica: the WackyRollers canopy/zipline excursion is a lot of fun, if you're up for some adventure.
Answer :
I would try checking out cruisecritics.com. They have a bunch of info on there from fellow cruisers.
I have been on the Destiny once before and I am going again in August and I love it, very nice ship. The Balcony rooms are about the same size or maybe slightly smaller to accommodate for the size of the actual balconies but it is still a great size room you will have plenty of space. My ex boyfriend and I went and we didn't have any problems with space.
Formal night are kinda fun, you will see everything from people who don't get you're supposed to dress up a bit to people who go way over board (no pun intended) and dress in ballgowns and such. I usually wear a gown (yes I am one of those people), but you can get away with a nice cocktail dress with no problems. I love the food on the cruises and the formal night dinner is usually the best (lobster and such).
If your itinerary is like mines where you are at sea everyday be sure to eat as much as you can on the ship to cut back on spending cash on the islands some places can be a bit pricey. See the shows if you can catch them, some are a little corny but it's still fun. We also watched the comedians and watched karaoke. All very fun.
Enjoy your trip.
