Review summary

Overall the cruise was not bad for a 4 day cruise. It was disappointing that we could not get off the ship due to high waves. Could not find out embarking photos after sailing. Had to have rhem reprinted and ready on the 3rd Day. Breakfast and dinner was not bad. Lunch could have been much better. At times waiting in line was ridiculous. Carnival Ocean camp for the kids wasfreatWas dissapointed that there was no record of me sailing 10 yrs ago when I got married on the Csrnival Triumph oit of New York.

Overall not bad? It was pretty bad, lol. The ecstasy is probably the worst boat to ever cruise on. We did our first cruise on the Conquest so when we went on the ecstasy with our kids we were so disappointed. It was small, the pool area smelled of sewage, and the elevators were sectioned off on different floors. That was just our experience though.
