I wanted to wait until I wasn’t upset anymore , to write a honest review. Ship was beautiful, but overall cruise was disappointing. We are carnival, faithful, but this cruise was disappointing to say the least.

Review summary
Overall, it was OK cruise but for the amount we paid and the duration, the food could have been better and by that I meant that it should’ve been at healthy temperatures. This is the first time getting sick. Yes, we will cruise Carnival again, but it sucked to be down with stomach cramps, vomiting and diarrhea for three days. So from here on out we’re gonna be skeptical.Embarkation
