Review summary

The Caribbean island we visit were very nice and my family enjoyed it but carnival fascination we didn’t. The embarkation & debarkation was great short & quick. Our room is very small for 3 people, the 3rd bed is very lumpy & thin that your bone can feel the spring poking on you. The bathroom doesn’t have enough shelves for personal stuff. The closet doesn’t have enough shelves to store clothes. The most most important is the bathroom. It was nasty with urine smell and it was like this for 2 days because they try to clean too many times but unable to get the urine smell till the 3rd day but still has funny smell. Very disappointed

Can you tell me about the debarkation day if is true you need to make a long line for taking the liquor you buy on the islands?

We do the same on all ships by using the shoe organizer and suction cups it definitely helps to organize your things without feeling like you have no space. I also bring items to clean room and I bring Scentsy go to help with the smells. Lots of things to help make the room bearable for the time you are in it. Sorry you had such a bad experience!

We hang a shoe organizer on the bathroom door and it holds everything. Deodorant, brushes, toothpaste...etc. Really helps because there is no space in the cabin bathrooms. And in the shower, we put sunction cups on the wall to hold our loufas. Works really great.

Yes our bathroom had a smell as well. Kind of smelled like poor ventilation like everyone else's bathroom Was venting into yours. It was the smallest bathroom we have had, no counter space just a pedestal style sink. Good thing we cruise for the ports and the itinerary and not the room. It was by far the best itinerary we have done. To be able get to see all those ports at once was amazing
