I agree on this one ive done 5 carnival cruises with no complaints but the ecstasy was the worst food was terrible outdated areas and service was hit or miss we made the best of it but better to spend money on something better if driving go a little further to Charleston on the sunshine its overall 10 times better then the ecstasy.

It definitely sounds like cruising is not for you. Most people love it, but it’s not for everyone.

We love this older ship out of Jacksonville

Was not very played with this ship. Glad to see it dry docked. The halley's from the elevator down our entire corridor smelled of sewage. Lots of late night maintenance also. And sailing out of jaxport was very unorganized.
