Cruise was better than OK. Boarding was just OK. Leaving was worst we have ever endured! NEVER, NEVER, NEVER AGAIN!
Looking down at your (not my) overall rating I feel that you are stacking the deck in your favor! My estimate would be certainly no more than 3.0.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Found some congestion between bus and Check-in area.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Room, buffets and dining room were better than expected. Did not like having to obtain a 'ticket' from Deck 5 before being allowed into the dining Room on Deck 3. It's NOT Your Time Dining, it's THEIR Time Dining! Did not eat at Specialty Restaurants.
Onboard Activities

Enjoyed Magic Show
Entertainment

Ship tip
Be prepared for mass confusion and lack of aid from Carnival the moment you step off the ship. Luggage numbers are just scattered around warehouse. One found, you then have to muscle your way to Customs. Good luck trying to get into the elevator to the ground. People with suitcases (plural) were being told to use the escalator! Porters & carts pushing into line for elevator. Utter mob scene. Then try to find your bus! People going to LGA were directed to JFK buses, etc. No guidance. No order to bus positions.
Is there a way to give FIVE MINUS STARS. This was a disaster! Porter rushing the elevators. Incoming and exiting passengers crossing each other. People with luggage told to use escalator! One elevator out of service. No organization or direction to correct bus. Porter pushing thru standing lines to get to nowhere, as buses were not marked. Carnival personnel actually directed LGA passengers to a JFK bus. Our bus dropped everyone at a bus stop near LGA without regard to Terminal location. Long, Long walk w/bags. NO MORE NY cruises!
Always carry off and always get faster to the fun if you aren't priority. Last month on the Victory it only took us 15 mins from leaving our cabin to getting thru the gangway. We were shocked and expecting at least a half hr.
I understand that not all cruises are going be great...however we have been very lucky. We have been five out of five great cruises. Two more in the next six months
POORPoorpoor - reading your review looking for a positive. Let's see, OK, JUST OK, NEVER NEVER, stacking in your favor - all negative. THERE IT IS! You rated the cruise 4-stars out of 5. Not bad at all! Thanks for the good review of your cruise.
