- Carnival Corp experienced record bookings in the second quarter of 2024.
- Its latest and 27th ship, Carnival Firenze, is a great budget option.
- But the food was mediocre, and the enticing upcharges could quickly push guests past their budget.
I love falling for the hype, whether it be clawing for a table at a new buzzy restaurant or queueing for a limited-edition clothing drop.
