Review summary

My friends and I had a suite. It had a balcony which was pretty dirty, couldn't understand why they make the balcony of glass if they had no intention of cleaning the glass to look out. 

Our seward was less than impressive. He introduced himself the first day and we only saw him one other time when he came to ask why we had called his superior when he had failed to clean our room. The first day we had to call for him to come and clean our room as he did not come at all. We had 4 people in the room, so the couch was converted into a bed. We requested that he make the bed back into a couch each morning, there was not very much room to move around otherwise, and he told us that it was too much trouble!!! What?!? We were shocked!!! 

The last carnival cruise I was on was in an interior room and the service was 100x's better. The gentleman was more accommodating and pleasant. He did everything you could think of prior to us asking or needing it. If this is where canival is now, I don't know if I'll go back on another cruise with them.

the food was alright. There was a BBQ place that was very good but only open 2.5 hours a day. There was a pasta place that we never saw open. The buffet food was unflavored and just bland. The food in the sit down restaurant was very good, but it took over 2 hours to have a meal.

Decent size, had a bath tub but took a VERY long time to fill up. The room was dated and not very clean.

They only clean glass when permitted. On our last cruise they could only clean balconies in Roatan.

if you had a suite there is more than ample room. and as far as cleaning glass on balcony, that is not that unusual for the glass not to be cleaned. they really can't hang over the rail while ship is underway.
