Review summary

I feel like I should get a refund. The entire cruising experience was disappointing. I strongly advise not to get sick outside of the hours of 12p to 6p, the hours of the infirmary. They don't appreciate having to give medical attention outside of those times.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Embarkation was super easy and fast. The smoothest/quickest one I have ever encountered.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

There was an abundance of food but the majority of what I was not good at all. The specialty restaurants were barely open and the food in those was not good either.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Plenty of pools and hot tubs.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The comedians were ok.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

My room steward was very pleasant and took care of us. However, 80% off the staff that I had direct contact with were unpleasant not mean but definitely not happy. This is the first cruise that I'd been on and saw the staff like this. On our last night we talked to our waiter for a brief moment. We were informed that the employees work everyday without a day off. They are supposed to do 10 hours shifts but they're more like 12/13 hours. They're supposed to get one day off a week but too short staffed to get the one day off. At that moment it made sense. I have been there overworked, underpaid and underappteciated. Its sad because I cruise to relax, get away from my everyday hustle and bustle and enjoy a vacation but to spend my money and not get good service or decent food. Its unacceptable for me.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

The ship overall was fairly clean. The lounges smelled like old stale wine. A deep carpet cleaning would be so beneficial.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

I really was pleased with the cabin overall. The layout was a little strange but manageable.

Ship tip

I personally need a break from Carnival as a whole. Maybe the newer ships have better food and service, but I definitely would not recommend this cruise to anyone. I'm going to try a different cruiseline and will hopefully have a better experience.
