I love Carnival, but I do have a problem with the color team, dancing
waiterssss & the ever present photogs. I do not let that ruin or, in any
way, deter form my cruise experience. Those things I can overlook....well,
the dancing waiters are probably my biggest peeve. Why or why will they just
have the waiters tend to the pasengers needs and maybe to the "baked ALaska"
dance once. Actually, I hate the dancing waiters, but I can overlook them as
long as everything else is ok!
