Aside from the staff, our Carnival cruise April 16-23 on the Vista was horrible. Rude, entitled people. White trash. Hood rats. People spitting on the Lido. Radios on the Serenity (staff was told, and nothing was done). Food was adequate, at its best. Vomit in the Lido pool. Was just horrible. We have a pre-paid cruise in August on the Glory, and that will be our last cruise with Carnival. To top it all off, people were hauled of the ship in Galveston in handcuffs. .......yeah.........

Possibly the worst cruise ever.

Wow...just wow! I'm not Carnival's biggest fan but even my worst cruise wouldn't even touch that!

I'm sorry to hear about your cruise. I agree with Big Daddy, that sounds like Spring Breakers. It's a shame that one has to go through that kind of experience after shelling out all that $$ for a cruise.

I can only imagine this has Spring break written all over it. I sorry you had such a bad experience Hopefully it was just a one off incident

Never had to experience that, my cruising experience is always good. Looks hectic, they should get their act together.

I doubt it. They took care of no issues while aboard.

Well now that is a crude cruise for sure. Never experienced anything like that before and probably just lucky we have not. Certainly a head scratcher. Hopefully the big wigs are on top of this.

Yike! Thats pie ooogly...Been on a bunch with CCL...no issues...doing that HAVANA suite again this OCT.....have had less than stellar experiences from time to time, but nothing close to what you're describing. Just got off NCL, clearly need to lower our expectations from here on out. They can blame covid for the next 20 years...just pay more, expect less....

Sorry about your cruise. Must have been a wild one. We got off Vista on April 4th cruise and the cruisers acted good. No fights or anything. People acted civil. I guess it is the groups who book the times. We really dont get involved with people, just stay to ourselves. We eat alone, see shows just the 2 of us, never use pools and hot tubs(involves people), and we stay in our cabin when the day is done. So if anything happens we dont know about it. We have been on 28 cruises all with Carnival and so far our cruises have been good ones. I guess our system works. My take on this one

Ouch man ... sorry bout that. Sounds like Carnival may need to review their way of handling things. People pent up for too long have forgotten how to behave ... also, cruise lines are trying to appeal more to the lower level of the populace to fill all the new ships they keep ordering. Hope your next one is better.
