Review summary

It is unfair and unjust that Carnival and all those who partner with them would support such unjust situations for their workers. Sure, most of these workers are from developing nations where they would not be able to make as much as they do if they didn't have the cruise job, BUT Carnival is a very profitable company and CAN and MUST do better. No days off for 6 months and they work around the clock. No salaries, no benefits…this is ridiculous and completely unjust. Companies that can, SHOULD put dignity back into a work force and not just work with the bottom dollar. People should be valued more than profit. I will never take a carnival cruise again.

We had to switch from this room because it smelled of smoke and we are allergic. We spent 3 hours in line at customer service trying to change it.

Stay home, I've been on a lot of cruises and the staff lives for the chance to work on a boat. You liberals are killed no this country. If I were younger, I would apply for a job on one of the boats.

Really?? Do any of them look like they are forced to work there? I have found Carnival employees to be friendly and to seemingly love their job. How can a slave ship be called Ecstasy??
