Service and Staff

Our room steward was awesome. Knew our names everywhere we went. Probably the best worker i had seen on the ship. Other personnel were rude or just acted as if they didnt see us. Especially on the back bar.

Was very clean. Only thing was the king bed is 2 twins. They kept coming apart and made it hard to sleep
Ship tip
Book activities everywhere. All the activities provided were not up to any kind of standard
People are very pushy and will come up to you the whole time. I tried to snorkel at a beach and the so called lifeguard called us back. He said you went passed the bouy. I said no look there's people further than us. I really wanted my money back from snorkeling as it ruined that port
We did a so called private island and theres way too many people with you. Staff very rude. Made us wear floation device which was not needed. As i am a freediver i explained they were very rude to me amd said right away wear it or you can't go out snorkeling... Horrible.....
First cruise? Maybe cruising isn't for you. In 12 Carnival cruises I have never seen as many angry crew members as you have. As a matter of fact I don't remember one! Hmmmm.....
Rotan is an Island. Mahogany Bay is a private beach owned by Carnival.
It can get crowded if more than one ship is in port at the same time.
If you want isolation go to the other side of the island.
If you book an excursion you have to follow the rules. No matter what.
If you snorkle on a public beach you have to follow the rules. If a lifeguard tells you not to do something don't argue. It doesn't matter what others are doing. You don't know of he spoke them or will speak to them.
Were the excursions booked through the ship? It’s almost always best to book excursions independently. The ship excursions are usually overpriced, overcrowded and don’t last as long as the independent excursions.
