We booked another Carnival Cruise out of Galveston for next year during my partner's birthday week and are bringing along his cousin, his sister and her husband. I got a good deal on our cabin, balcony for $275/person. It was a promotion from my play in the casino on my last cruise. Made reservations at the steakhouse for his bday night dinner and of course the drink package. Only bad thing was his sister and her husband didn't get the same deal as me and are paying double my rate. Only 102 days to go!
