Review summary

We picked this ship because it had a large slide for the big kids and had read that the twin slides ( on another ship ) was called toddler slides I know that it was my fault for thinking that slides that look the same on other ships were the same but they are not . Toddlers can only play under the fountains that’s it . I still can’t find where it says the slides were not for toddlers .Mattresses were VERY WORN OUT . just an old ship I guess. Disappointed . Other carnival ships were great . 7 past cruises with carnival . 1st time disappointed.

I have not cruised on this ship but I do enjoy Carnival.  Sorry that you you had these issues.

I have never had a problem with the mattresses on carnival  until now . I did not list that the toilet did not flush a lot of the time or the other issues that led to my semi negative review because I was trying to be nice . Don’t get me wrong I love cruising carnival and I will cruise carnival again but not on that ship .

I've cruised on Fantasy and didn't have an issue with the mattress in my cabin.

Unfortunately, short cruises are usually more of a party boat. Longer cruises are not as bad. With more to do, if bigger ship.

I love carnival but my grand babies could only use the splash pad , crying bc they wanted to go on the baby slides but were not allowed . Little ones need things to do beside camp carnival . We were so looking forward to them . Pools were to small for children and full of drinking adults . Not that there is anything wrong with that but just not for children
