Review summary

Carnival cruise line is going down hill real fast. Besides the very run down ships in need of severe repairs and upgrade, poor service, no staff, poor food, the same cheap shows day after day, the poor activities, now they want to charge you $5 anytime you order something extra for dinner. This has now become the ghetto of all cruise lines I would never go with them again after having experience so many other cruise lines that are head and shoulders above this poor excuse for a cruise line. They are trying to make up as much money as they can due to the loss they had. Yes this was a cheap fare cruise line now it has become just a cheap run down cruise line. They will need to come up substantially if they want all 7 of my family to return.

Bad info, they charge you for entree number three and on in the MDR, all in the name of avoiding waste.

Not everything can be one star.

Cruising is not what it used to be, but when pretty much everything is rated one star, the problem is with the cruiser and not the cruise line.
