Review summary

Let me preface this by saying, this is my 4th carnival cruise and I came back to Carnival after a poor experience with Royal. But this by far takes the cake as worst vacation I’ve experienced.. it Started Tuesday (Second day, at sea) on the main cool deck when my daughter came up to me and told me another girl was giving her the middle finger. So I approached the mother and let her know what her daughter was going, she attempted to turn it back onto my daughter asking what she did to deserve it. I said she’s 9, Theres nothing she could’ve done worthy to be flicked off. I walked away and let it be for about 2 hours until my daughter came up to me again and told me this same girl had now hit her on the leg because she was floating close to her. I went back to the mother again to address it, as soon as I said something she blew up and turned manic. So I attempted to turn around and find security because clearly she wasn’t handling this like a civil adult, by the time I turned around she was now yelling at MY child. My fiancé came down to defend her and that’s when this lady began assaulting my fiance. I was looking around for security this whole time, to no avail. So then I stepped between them in an attempt to be a physical barrier, I was then hit multiple times in the face before I decided I needed to restrain her because no one was helping me. So now they’re charging both me and my fiance 500$ a piece for the dispute, as well as they canceled my alcohol pass after one drink and attempted to charge me for the full drinking pass. I had to raise hell with guest services just to get that back. The cherry on top was them stopping us before we debarked, pulling us out of line and then telling us we’re no longer welcome on any future carnival cruises.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
Rude impatient lady demanding travel documents, while we were in the process of taking them out. Raising her voice at my fiance in impatience, mind you, she had travel documents to get out for 4 people

Girls thought the boys were too obnoxious and annoying

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Room stewards are extremely pleasant, as well as a majority of the staff. Minus the guest services ladies, extremely rude and short.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
The bathrooms had a smell of urine and waste when you’d open the door because the pressure would push the smell out of the pipes

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
TV is tiny, no one wants to use the safe because you have to use a credit card which gives you the feeling your identity will be stolen, noise travels, you can hear EVERYTHING

Ship tip

Patience and avoidance of people who don’t seem they have all their facilities
