I feel like I have been cheated not only out of money but my first experience. I would never recommend this cruise to anyone unless they all they want to do is gamble, drink and sleep

Review summary

no entertainment, worst food ever , the ship stinks smells old and musty, drunks everywhere because that's all there is ro do, can't get in the pool or hottubs because of the drunks, the excursions are too short we left boat after 10 had to be back by 4pm, the one show they had was almost burlesque, they don't keep food on bar like they were supposed to had to wait for lunch, the rocking was so bad stayed sick even with patch behind my ear people couldn't even walk ect....

Yea that would be the closest port to my home but there is no way in hell I’m sailing on that rust bucket. It is the oldest ship in the fleet and its date with the scrapyard is probably already scheduled. Try a different ship. It will be fun to compare.

Doesn’t sound like a normal Carnival cruise.

Always research the age of the ship before you book

I'm not buying into this review. I have sailed the elation, there is entertainment, and.... the ship rocks?! you mean, there are waves in the ocean? I don't think cruising is for you
