Review summary

I love this ship but the staff seemed to be either understaffed or off this week.  They were all very nice but always seemed behind or never able to catch up:( I felt sorry for the dinner staff, it was like being at a great restaurant where barely anyone showed up for work!  I saw way too many people needing help and no one to help them, it was esp bad for people in wheel chairs!!  Usually Carnival is always spot on for handicap people but this trip was horrible in that area. I saw people in wheel chairs needing help constantly! And the elevators were amazingly slow or not available at all. The food was very good and of course Guys burgers were the best burgers anywhere!!!!  This cruise director was one the best I have ever seen, and I've seen a lot. Ports were good as usual but the whole ship of Carnival seemed off:(  If you've never sailed you probably wouldn't see it as much but I have seen other ships run much better!  This is a beautiful ship and great to have in NO but the staff needs help!!!  Cruising is still an amazing deal for a vacation!
