Review summary

This was not my first time with carnival, but this will be my last. They pre-cook the food, and then heat it up to serve it.

They expected you to pull out your phone, to check daily activities. I use my phone for business, when I am on vacation I do not use my phone, because it is my vacation!!!!

Don’t like using my phone either, but unfortunately it’s a sign of the times.sorry you had such a negative experience, I will take any ship and any amount of sea days. Can always find something I like to eat.

Appreciate your feedback. Sorry you were disappointed. For the record; you can get a print copy of daily activities from Customer Service and at the Coffee shop. Plus you can ask for a print copy of the menu.

Did you actually think they cooked everything as it was ordered when they are serving thousands of people? What do people have against using their phone for convenience?

The problem with that cruise is it looks like it’s one of those three or four days short cruises on one of the old ships. You should stay off of those as they’re never the best for anything other than partying and if you stay to the new ships, you will have no problem finding outlets for your CPAP machine. I know this to be a fact because I have one of those machines and we travel on newer ships and have no issues. I took one of those short three day cruises once and hated it although the 710 and 14 day cruises are really good give yourself a treat and try one of those.

Sounds like cruising may no longer be for you. Many of the issues you had are common on most lines now. When most everything is rated one star, it is usually the reviewer, not the ship or Cruise Line, that is the issue.
