After almost four years, I spent a week on a Royal Caribbean ship last week, the Allure Of The Seas. The ship was amazing, easily the best I've ever been on, but what it also showed me was just how horrible Carnival is (since the last cruise I had been on was the "Klassy" one). Seriously, anyone that thinks Carnival offers up any sort of quality product is completely delusional. Service, cleanliness, activities, food quality, and everything else was so far beyond the Carnival "product" and showed just how inferior that crap brand is.
I continue to be astonished why anyone would spend a cent on such a terrible product. But then, Chili's is still in business, so...
