I am currently planning a cruise to the Southern Caribbean and this one seems to fit the bill. However, I am in my 30's and my parents are going with some friends and they have the impression that Carnival is a huge party line. We are looking at going Jan/Feb of 2009. Any comments on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
The people concerned about the "party" atmosphere are in their late 60's and 70's.
Answer
Carnival does still have the reputation as a party line, even though they've been working hard to dispell that.
In January and early February [before President's Week] you'll have an "older" crowd than normal, with fewer families and kids. There will probably be a range of ages from twenties through 50s, I'd guess. Cruisers who prefer a classier, more up-scale cruise wouldn't sail with Carnival, nor would the majority of cruisers over 50.
Another factor to consider is that, sailing from Puerto Rico, there is likely to be a sizable contingent of "locals", as the cruise lines offer deals to "locals" [whether in Florida, NYC or anywhere else] to fill up the ship. The cultural differences [manners, etc] may bother some people and not others. San Juan is also not always the easiest airport to use. Make sure you allow plenty of time before your flight home.
The Victory hasn't gotten stellar reviews in the last year or so, some people saying she's starting to show her age. My first cruise was on the Victory [when she was brand-new] and it got me "hooked" on cruising. Carnival isn't everyone's style - the glitzy decor and "party" atmosphere in the dining room [singing/dancing wait staff] is appealing to some people but annoying to others.
Overall, I'd say Carnival is a good first cruise. The Southern Caribbean is an interesting itinerary, but there are a lot of port days, which means more expense [for shore excursions] and less time to just enjoy the relaxation of the ship [sea days].

Is the color pink childish to paint a 19 year old woman's bed room?
Brooke Pre
So, I have been needing to paint my room for a while, it was cream but it looked like a dirty-ish cream to me, so I went out and brought some really expensive paint, and on the label the paint looked like a really pale light pink but when I opened it, it was slightly darker kind of like a bubblegum pink looking color, I wanted white I don't know why I picked this up but I can't return it I lost the recite (sp?) so I'm just going to give it a try, it pink really kiddish for a 19 year old girl? my room is modern looking I have 2 artificial 5ft palm trees in there, Canvases of NYC, white Victorian blinds... would pink walls kill the classy look? thanx
Answer
Nothing wrong with pink for any age. Personally pink would not be my first choice, but I'd take it over white.
What's going to make the room look childish or not is the way you pull it together.
You know what really looks gorgeous and sophisticated? Pink and chocolate brown, or pink with black accents.
Here are some samples for inspiration:

As you can see, pink is feminine but it doesn't have to be childish.
