Review summary

With moderately rough seas we did not dock in Key West, which was one of the reasons for taking this specific cruise. The ship instead spent an extra day to get to the next port which was Freeport. Freeport is a horrible destination port for a cruise ship. In summary out of a 7 day cruise we spent only one day in a port that was worthy of a cruise ship destination. Will never do that again.

Well they gave the ship 3 stars for a cruise that was impacted by weather; that's not the ship's, or Carnival's fault. And complained about a port they booked a cruise to. And "will never do that again"; not sure what exactly they're not doing again. Just my opinion, cruising isn't for everybody; a good attitude and flexibility ensure a great time.

Things happen. We missed a port in November due to a ship issue, and in January we missed a port AND 1 day of the cruise due to weather. Of course it was the port we we hadn't visited before, so we were disappointed, but had a great time anyway! Flexibility is key to cruising.
