Review summary

If I had to do it over again, I'd have cancelled this itinerary. Weed was able to be brought on board and nobody did anything to stop the people from reminding everybody on our deck that it was there. The food was absolutely atrocious. Never again will I be cruising on Carnival.

Yeah I don’t believe this. it couldn’t have been all that bad for every category deserved a 1 star. We love Carnival but you can’t please everyone. There is always someone who will complain.

1 star for all ports because someone got through security with pot. Wow

There is a canine on duty and everyone is screened before they go thru the security scanners. There is also canine screening luggage that is checked.

Weird…I’ve been following a post where a cruiser is asking about bringing medical marijuana on board. Everyone is commenting that it is not allowed, and would be confiscated. But on so many other posts as these, sounds like it gets on board easily.

Sad that because you smelled weed that everything got only 1 star. I wouldn't like that either but I wouldn't base my review on everything because if it.

Lilee, the difference in alcohol and perks with weed is that weed smells. It also causes my asthma to flare up. But I guess someone's "medical" need for it outweighs my need to breathe?

It’s crazy how no one says anything about the alcoholics on board, or the ones eating perks like candy. It’s medicine n if u let that ruin ur whole trip. Sounds like a u problem… I’ve personally never ever been on Carnival n never will… but last time we were on Royal I only smelled it one time when I stepped outside on the balcony but it wasn’t hard to turn right back around n go inside.
