Monica, not sure if you have ever sailed Carnival, but FWIW we are also of
the same mind as you with regards to drinking, partying etc. I generally
have a beer or two in the afternoon, unless we are in port and off the ship,
a before dinner drink and some wine with dinner. Some evenings I will also
have a specialty coffee. In addition we generally are in bed by 11 PM or so.
Now I recognise that there may all sorts of carrying on in the wee hours,
but it never impinged on us at all. We were on the Carnival cruise in early
May and there a fair number of young people, but it was never a problem for
us. I am not trying to convince you to try Carnival, but simply relating our
experience. Certainly if one goes into a vacation of any sort with certain
perceptions and expectations it is easy to be disappointed or to look for
things to reinforce those thoughts. I hasten to add that I am not implying
that you are like that, but it is a fairly common human trait. If you
really like going out of Galveston, why not try carnival? Just don't blame
me if you are unhappy if you do :-)
