Review summary

The "Windows" was a flop for embarkation. They should have changed the policy due to the flooding in Galveston and everyone was arriving at incorrect times understandably. Disembarkation was not announced appropriately and guessing was a major issue.

Our shower was clogged and was not taken core of even after letting our cabin steward be definitely aware of the problem. We unknowingly were placed right above the Victoriana Theater with the second show not starting until 10:15 PM. Loud and not good!

The ship was full so too many people for us. We love children, but boy were tere a lot of them.

The weather was overcast the whole time, but Carnival obviously did not have control over that. We just took this cruise for relaxation. Mistake!

Disembarkation is out of control of Carnival as the US Customs controls all of that.

I love when people give reviews and half of it is nothing that is Carnivals fault. Disembarkation is constantly spoken over the intercom. You also get paper work on it the night before. Should have went to guest services about your shower. If you choose to let Carnival pick your room for the lower rate, then this can happen. There is a reason those rooms are available. Next time, pay the little extra and choose it yourself. The ships are always full. You shouldn't have went during summer when school was out. Less kids when school is in.

Did you pick your own cabin, if you did then where the cabin is, is your fault. You always look at what is above and below the cabin before you book. If you let carnival pick your cabin, then it is still your own fault, because you didn't pick the option to choose your own cabin.
