For one, nothing is like it was 5 or 10 years ago. For two, the dining rooms are not the only places to eat. We had great food at some of the other places. For three, they announce which elevators are open at disembarkment, once we were called, we were off the ship in less than 10 minutes. Your not going to get a perfect trip every time.

I’ll provide a different perspective. We look for what is there now, not compare to the way things used to be. We like the American table, don’t miss the mint on the pillow, don’t mind not getting lobster on shorter cruises, etc. There is still plenty to enjoy! If we got bummed out cruising, lamenting about the good old days, I think we’d start doing all inclusive vacations. We still love cruising... It’s about perspective- people can be unhappy or happy- it’s a choice...

Yes the quality did go way down. I haven't liked the last few cruise. Very depressing.

Yes, Carnival has cut down on a lot of things over the last few years. Too bad. Will not sail with them again until they change
