Review summary
Older ship could use some updates, especially the lido deck. Pipe busted on our deck. Had to change cabins which separated us from the kids. Disastrous excursion on Freeport. Boat battery died. Had to be towed in. Missed beach day. Bus broke down on way back to ship. Had to call in another bus so missed shopping. Arranged our own activities in Nassau and had a great day. Carnival did refund some of the money.
