Review summary

This was a cheap cruise and it showed. Clearly where they saved money was with food. Seriously, spend money for a good cruise or just stay home.

Embarkation

2 out of 5

Long lines. Horrible port. Took over 1/2 hour just to move about 1/2 mile and no way to get out of car before dock.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Main restaurant was worst ever. Dinner almost inedible Sent back dinner each night. Forced to spend $38 each of two night for wonderful steak restaurant really just to get decent food.

Maybe you should try a different cruise line that appeals to your taste. Carnival is family and budget friendly...perfect for some but not all.

We have been on 13 cruises, #14 coming up and have never had a terrible cuise. A couple times we a minor problem the staff always took care of it in a timely manner. A cruise is what you make it. We have always had a great time and met so many nice people. Anytime I don't have to cook and my bed is made for me it is a GOOD trip. Looking forward to our next cruise.

We have been on 10 Carnival Cruises and there is good food on every ship! I’m shocked at the complaining! There are so many choices! So sad to hear such fussiness. Headed out on the Dream in 19 days! Excited to do another.

Yes is a cheap getaway, but it is worth it. As for Cozumel there is a lot of things to do. I have to disagree on that one. Next time look at real pictures & reviews from cruisers that been there. Than you decide on what to do on your next cruise. Good luck next time 👍🏻
