Our first cruise was in the early 90's...on the Carnival Fantasy.

It was fun but we were constantly trying to figure things out.

At that time the decks weren't numbered. They just had names like Riviera, Empress, Lido, etc. 

We had to constantly refer to the pocket guide deck plan.

I think the elevator buttons had numbers, not deck names.

Every time I cruise now, I am so thankful they've simplified that!

Avoid the excurson , Jungle Beach break, to Uvero Beach. The beach is okay...a bit seaweedy though. Plenty of loungers too. The problem is with the employees there. Surly bartender who barely put any alcohol in the drinks, unless you tip in advance every time ( drinks supposed to be included in excursion fee), and my husband said..a pushy men's room attendant..in a BEACH restroom . He wants money for turning on faucets and handing out paper towels.

Just not in the mood to be handing out more cash after paying $45 each for a ride on their rattley mildew smelling buses and 2 hours of beach time.
