Review summary

We enjoy cruising. I was far from happy with the rude treatment of my children and myself at the red rum bar. The smell in the atrium was horrific!!! I wouldn’t sail on this ship again

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Getting on the ship was super smooth with no wait at all

We loved Guys Burgers all day long. The main dining room was very nice too

The pool and hot tubs were very nice minus the grown man pooping in it

I slept instead of going to shows lol

All groups seemed boring and not much activity going on

What happened at the rum bar?!! You can’t headline that and day nothing more. Inquiring minds want to know

I am sorry for your disappointment. Hopefully you will try again

Sounds like cruising isn’t for you. Most people love it, but it’s not for everyone. I also wouldn’t judge Carnival based on an older ship. Try a newer ship for a better experience.

Sorry this cruise didn’t meet your expectations! Hope the next one is better. We have had a few disappointing ones along the way, but all in all they have been a wonderful experience. 🛳
