We were on deck 1 cabin 1376. About the third night the entire deck as soon As you got off the elevators smelled like something died in the walls, also went into cabin. Other passengers complained of same smell. Nothing was ever done about this.

The cabin overall was clean and the staff who clean it are always working hard but every day/ night that stench was there and not even the air freshener could block it out

Ship tip

Don’t go to balomora island in the Bahamas. Talk about price gouging. 5 dollars for bottle of water and 4 dollars for bag of chips you can get at grocery store for 50 cents. Then they wanted 117 dollars for a single picture from our stingray swim which they allowed no one to take own pictures. Carnival should at least advise people to take water or something because you are stuck once over there.

Balmoral island is a rip-off. Carnival should screen there excursion providers better. 5 dollars for water. 117 dollars for a photo and we were supposed to have 4.5 hours of time on island but boat ride took 1 hr out there, I have been on probably 14 cruises all over world and this was worst excursion experience ever, now not the actual stingray or pig interaction but all the other guest service that goes along with being on an isolated island for time and getting ripped off to get food or water.
