Review summary
The only major complaints were embarkation 4 hours and debarkation 3 hours. The other major complaint was elevators. We arrived on the ship not the normal gangway, but through where you exit/enter during excursions, so we were on floor zero. they had 3 elevators to take people up to the higher floors or you had to take the steps. I was with someone who could not take steps so we had to wait for the elevator and it took another hour to reach our room. I lost one full day on the ship getting on the ship. By the time we made it on board it was dinner time. During the stay they only had 3 elevators working in the FWD even though we had 9 elevators in this error. We had to start getting on the elevators going any direction up or down to be able to make it to our floor in a timely manner. This was the worst experience ever. This was my roommates first experience and she is disabled she will never do a cruise again. Getting of the ship was same only 3 elevators. 2 only took you to floor 2 and 1 took you to floor 1 and we had to catch another elevator to floor zero, another hour lost. I don't think I will ever use carnival again. The crew was great, but the long wait for elevators during the cruise and the long wait to get on and off the ship were so bad.Embarkation
