Review summary

The ship and food were fine...too cold for the bahamas this time of year and have now heard that Carnival misses going to Half Moon Cay about a third of the time. I think we should get a larger refund than 19.00. We had 14 people in our group and overall had a good time, but I will know better than to ever go on this cruise at this time again. The room and noise were the most disappointing...came on the cruise to relax from work and got very little sleep. I will never book a room under the main deck again.

Embarkation

Took too long to get through the several stations, especially to have it away from the ship then have to take a bus

Cabin / Stateroom

Very disappointed in the room due to the noise from the Lido deck above. They were moving chairs and dropping things ALL NIGHT...only got a few hours sleep per night. Can't believe I paid that much for a room to get no rest

Ship tip

Don't go in Jan/Feb...very cold still, and don't expect to see their private island...we didn't

Ports of call

Charleston, South Carolina

Take the stairs instead of the elevators...the wait is too long otherwise
