Review summary

I had fun overall, but I fear Carnival is going downhill. The room was dusty, the beds small, the balcony chairs rusty and dirty. The ship is old and rusty and dirty. The food selection was not that great and it did not taste that great either. The tours are too expensive. Embarkation was not great but disembarkation was a nightmare experience. Need to update how you do your photo. Take a hint from Disney. Casino was gross. The only highlights were entertainment and some staff that were helpful.

Ship tip

Have a lot of money for drinks like coke and keep your expectations moderate and don't expect the best food at dinner.

If you didnt like the Dream..then DO NOT go on the Glory..you will be even more disappointed for sure..its wayyyy worse for food and their Casino sucks..very over crowded..its an older ship that needs updated and the floor layouts are terrible as well!

That's a great ship. Probably complains about everything.

Love seeing these reviews. It means I more than likely won't have to deal with with them on my cruise in June. #lovecarnival
