I did. I took my first seven cruises on Carnival. Then I got smart! :)

[mariner]

dmc nothing wrong with it. Carnival opened the world of cruising to many.

[sppunk]

My first three were on Carnival. Holiday, Festival and Celebration.

sppunk that was a sampling of the fleet.

 

I didn't have a Carnival option when I started cruising. It didn't exist.

We did - I won our very first cruise on Carnival's Jubilee, July, 1989. Our second was the Carnival Paradise, 1999-2000 Millennium Cruise.

 

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

Sailed Jubilee and Holiday, both in 95; didn't care for it, the experience, much

[PenguinLife]

First one as an adult that I paid for myself was on Carnival

[Krazy Kruizers]

Our first cruises were back-to-back on Cunard Countess in the 80's.

First cruise Carnival Fantasy 1993. Returned to Carnival 41 cruises later for Carnival Pride this February. Since the Pride is abandoning Baltimore in 2014 it may well have been my last Carnival.

 

First shipboard overnight was Alaska ferry Matanuska in 1991.

First cruise was a 4-day try-it-you'll-like-it cruise on the Carnival Fantasy out of Port Canaveral with the ex. My TA at the time asked us about the cruise afterwards in terms of what we liked or didn't like. Based on that she recommended either Celebrity or Holland America. Celebrity didn't have ships with verandahs and HAL had just brought out the S class ships so that tipped the scales in their favor.

Our first cruise was Carnival Conquest out of Galveston in 2007. Enjoyed the experience but have avoided Carnival since. Just not a fan. Liked Princess and NCL more.

First six cruises were on Sitmar (Fairwind and Fairsea)

 

I've never taken a Carnival cruise.

Our first three cruises were Glory, Victory, then Legend.

 

The Legend sailing was a search for a smaller ship. Although the Legend cruise was the best of the three, it wasn't enough; I stumbled on CC then found the HAL forum and then we found our preferred place. Only once did we stray, the Millenium a few years ago, and although we truly enjoyed it, it wasn't home.

 

We're probably here to stay, although if the changes continue ...... who knows. I will admit that I'm looking at other boards now which I've never done before!

The Mardi Gras (1981), The Festivale (2) and Holiday made up our first four cruise experiences. The one on the Holiday was our worst and others were good.

[Irish Eyes Are Sailing]

The Festivale was my first cruise!

[jbhcw]

First cruise was Premier...Starship Majestic...then on to Carnival..RCCL...NCL...Hal:):):) They have all been great!

[jtl513]

Zero - but DW was on Carnival once before she talked me into cruising. Tried RCCL once because DW won it in a raffle, and didn't care for it at all.

[Candiaccruiser]

Our first cruise was on the Carnival Triumph in 2006. This was followed by the Azamara Journey in 2007 and then we settled into the HAL ships for our next six cruises... felt like we'd found our niche! That said, we're sailing to Bermuda on the Celebrity Summit next Sunday and we're really looking forward to it.

The one time we tried to sail Carnival, we boarded the then brand new Destiny many hours late at something like 2 A.M. When we woke the next morning we learned the ship never sailed. I've told the whole long story here before but our one attempt at Carnival failed about as badly as possible.

 

[KirkNC]

We took our first and only cruise on Carnival.

[OCruisers]

First six cruises were on Sitmar (Fairwind and Fairsea)

I've never taken a Carnival cruise.

 

We're old Sitmar folks as well -- :) loved that cruise line!

 

We took a Carnival cruise much later in our cruising life ... just to find out what it was really like for ourselves. :rolleyes:
