Good value for money (if carnival returns the incorrect charge of over 558 dollars extra)

Review summary

We had fun. The price was great. The company has overcharged a lot of money and we are having problems to contact them, but hope to sort that out later on. The relationship quality price was good and the staff were excellent which is something very important for a pleasurable cruise. This was the best part of all, the staff!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
It’s a very old ship, with a decor style used 30 years ago, bit that is what we expected.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
The stench of the cabin was terrible. The extractor in the bathroom didn’t work. They couldn’t do anything about it except offer an upgrade in the menu one of the days. Apart from this the cabin was OK for a design of 30 years ago.

The price was just great, although we paid more from the excursions and other extras

Why book a cruise on an older ship then complain about the ship being old? It doesn't make sense to me.
