1 problem with cruise.

A group of 10 of us take the western  cruise on 04-06-2008.  We did have a good time, although my husband and I took this same cruise, same ship and all less than 2 years ago.  The first time on the victory I was much more impressed.

The problem we had was seeing so many teens running around this ship all hours of the night and being so clear that they were drinking.  I sent a comment to Carnival right after our return and ask why there was not a better system to prevent this.  Why didn't ship security stop these teens and escort them back to their parents.  We cruised this time with 4 of our 15 grandchildren, ranging from 8-18.  This was their first time on a cruise and I thank God everyday that my grandchildren has more respect for themself and others not to behave that way.

I will have to say, Carnival answered my complaint promptly and assured me in the future that the Sign & Sail cards will be tagged for those under 21 not to be served any such drinks.  I am not saying that the Carnival crew did sell drinks to minors, I rather think it was the teens parents giving it to them.

We have always sailed with Carnival and will continue to do so.  I am glad I found this forum, it will allow me to research the ships from the cruisers that have taken the cruise not from Carnival.  This really is a positive review, there are times when Carnival can't control everything that happens.
