need info on carousel
I'm taking my very first cruise (Italian Renaissance) on the ship Carousel through Sunquest tours. All I've read about this ship is "you get what you pay for." Has anyone travelled on this ship? What was it like? Any tips for a young couple travelling together for the first time? <BR>

I was on the Carousel for a caribbean cruise a couple of yours ago. My overall impression was that it was good value for the money. This is NOT a luxury cruise ship but at least when we were on it everthing worked, the cabins were clean, the food was fine. The cabins are very small but you really do not spend a lot of time in them - our cabin steward always kept ours immaculately clean - which is all i care about. If you have any specific questions - email me.

Cruised Southern Caribbean on Carousel in Jan 99. Nice, basic, older ship. Cruisers are relaxed and dress casually. Cabins are small. Pack light. Garment bags are a good idea because they can be hung in the closet (no where to put big suitcases!). Pool is filled with salt water (a surprise the first time you jump in). The entertainment is amateurish. Smuggle your own booze and drinks on to the ship(very expensive on board). Carousel is great for first time cruisers. But, don't expect the QE2!

Not all lines cater to the same clientel. Maybe try a Carnival cruise next time - they're referred to as the 'party cruises' or something of the sort. HAL is more seniorish, so don't go that route. RCCL is kind of middle of the line - there were all ages when we went.
