Review summary

My husband, myself, my elderly mother, and my 18-month-old son took a seven-night cruise to the Western Carribean. We were only allowed off the ship for 10 hours in eight days. Our trip encountered a tropical storm, but, unlike the other Carnival ship, went straight through the storm instead of re-routing. I spent three days stuck in a cabin with a sick mother and baby. The lazzez faire attitude of the staff to people's suffering was appalling. Our family hadn't been on a vacation for three years, and, when I think of all the money we spent to suffer so badly, I really want to cry.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The food in the dining rooms was very good, and the waitstaff in the dining rooms was exceptional.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
It's the same thing everyday, and, after two days, we'd had enough. After eight days, we were just mad.

Children's Programs

1 out of 5
The staff in the kids' club is awful, at least to the under two's. Don't put your babies in there without supervision.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
The waitstaff was excellent. The staff in the infirmary and the kids' club was borderline mean.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
The only positive thing I will say is they did clean the cabins twice a day, which is very good thing when people are sick. Every time we took a shower, our whole bathroom flooded.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
Our bathroom flooded every time we showered. The only positive is that the beds were comfortable.

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
The ten hours we were let off the ship in Cozumel were glorious.
