398.0. "ECSTASY QUESTIONS!!!" by SUBDLS::LUND ("Scoop") Mon Oct 26 1992 19:44

Myself and 2 girlfriends are planning a cruise on the Ecstasy in May, Eastern
Caribbean.  Has anyone gone on this cruise, if so, could you let me know how
it was/your opinions.

Thanks!

398.1Ecstasy should be good !LEDDEV::CULLISONMon Oct 26 1992 20:3912
    I have not been on the Ecstasy, but during our last cruise in Nov 91
    we had a travel agent sitting at our table who had been on the
    Ecstasy during the summer of 91 with her older kids. She cruises a lot
    and had taken 4 or 5 cruises or more (I cannot remember) on Carnival
    itself. She said the Ecstasy had the best food and service of the
    Carnival ships she had been on. It is a large new ship which gives
    you more variety etc. Should be fun. I believe there are a few notes
    and/or replies around which mention the Ecstasy, they obviously would
    be newer notes.

398.2Went in April....SOLVIT::ZANINITue Oct 27 1992 15:2212
    I was on the Ecstasy during the first week of April.  We went on the
    Western route, and had a fantastic time.  Previously, we had gone on
    the Festivale, and EVERYTHING (except the waiter) was even better on
    the Ecstasy.  
    
    If you have any specific questions, please send me mail.  BTW - friends
    of mine went on the Eastern route, and found the ship to be great. 
    Island wise, they wished they had opted for the Western Caribbean.

That would really be great.  I bet you can't wait!  I wish I was going sooner,

398.7Ecstasy the fun shipDNEAST::SHANK_ROGERWed Dec 09 1992 11:3416
    
    Hi Nancy,
    I went on the Ecstasy in November we were to go on the eastern
    caribbean,but went on the western caribbean they change all of
    November to the western.If you would like to know how my trip
    was and would like to give me a call at DTN 271-7300 you can.
    I had the time of my life and the best vac.I ever had. If I
    were to try to say everthing about the trip in notes I could
    go on and on and I just got back from vacation this week and
    have a lot to do.
    
                         have a nice day!!!

398.8here it is... WMOIS::MELANSONThu Dec 31 1992 13:5634
	Hi all, sorry it took soo long to respond but I have been very busy 
	trying to catch up.

	About the trip, we all had a great time and can't wait to go again...
        I will not get into the detailes of the trip as it would be like
        writting a book and I simply don't have the time...  So anyways,
        here are some general comments about the trip...

	The weather was excellent
	The food was excellent
        The service was excellent (THEY JUST KEEP TRYING TO PLEASE YOU!!!)
        The cabin was excellent
        The beach we went to was excellent
        The bargains we found in Jamaica were fantastic
        The facilities on the ship were excellent 
        The scenery was fantastic (TOP FLOOR IN THE AFT OF THE SHIP)
        The people were excellent, we made new friends and plan on visiting 
        them in the near future.
        They had great unique shows
        The gambling was fun, exspecailly if you were ROGER 

	Overall, the only thing that got in the way of having more fun
        was sleep...  There was always something going on and we didn't even 
	see or use all that the ship had to offer.

	I have been on the Princess line once before and had a great time
        but the Carnival is more of a party ship and I felt more relaxed
        and had alot of fun.

	The only bad part of the whole trip was coming home back to reality
	and then back to work.


	Regards, Dom
398.9Thanks!SUBDLS::LUND"Scoop"Thu Jan 07 1993 12:1014
Dom,

Thanks for the mini report.  It sure sounds like the Ecstasy is a great ship!
I can't wait to go!!  

If you have any specific details you can enter like the types of events on ship,
shows, and how the age group was on board, 20's, 30's or whatever, that would
be great!

Glad you had a good time.

4 months and counting.....

Nancy
