Thank you all for your advice! I first booked the cruise with RCL but a lot of what you all said about Carnival stuck with me. So later in the week I chose to
cancel and booked an AFT Balcony with Carnival.
After reading everyone's comments about Carnival I choose to gave them a shot. It helps that I found an AFT balcony for much less than I had paid with RCL for a balcony. Overall the value with Carnival was hard to beat.
