My parents booked our first Carnival Cruise!

I'm excited about our very first cruise on Carnival! I've read so much about "the fun ships" - what can I expect?

What is the drinking age?
What is the gambling age?

We'll be going on Carnival Liberty in January, right after the holidays.

Anything you can tell me about Carnival is welcome! I've been on Royal Caribbean (five times) and Celebrity (three times) so far.
