Review summary

The ship did not smell fresh had to buy air freshener at one of the ports. We were on the 3rd FL AFT and heard lots of loud noises and banging at bedtime. The first day our pillow was dirty like someone cleaned the floor with it. The food was good but Carnival was better. Our cooler box did not work and even though I had braids and never shed hair ou r sink was clogged. Overall they were nice and tried, they fixed stuff when asked but this was my 3rd cruise and worst one.
