Review summary

Carnival cruises went from the party cruise line to the Walmart cruise line. I have been cruising Carnival for 25 years and have never been as disappointed as I was with this whole experience. Food used to be an experience on your ships. Now it is flat our embarrassing. The condition of this ship should be an insult to you and your customers. The whole experience was just flat out HORRIBLE. I can go on and on, but Carnival does not care of there is absolutely no way they would put out this kind of product and experience.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Dining room was embarrassing. Just flat out horrible. Steak house was good, we ate there twice. Buffet is just not what it used to be

Did a spa, that was ok. Everything else was just misserable

Entertainment

1 out of 5
Two of the three comedians were good. Music in the Frog bar was good. The musicians playing outside the casino were good. Everything else was just miserable

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Waiters were ok. Room steward was the worst I have experience on a cruise ship. Everyone else was ok. Karen at the Frog bar was the one person that saved this horrible experience

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
Ship absolutely sucked but you know this. There has been zero renovations on this ship ever. Just simply horrible. This was my fault, I should have done my homework

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
everything with our room was good. Could not enjoy our patio at all as our next door neighbors were out smoking marijuana on their patio partying and getting loud the whole cruise

Ship tip

DO NOT WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SHIP. ABOLUTELY HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE FROM START TO FINISH

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

1 out of 5
another one I should have done my homework. Did not enjoy anything about this port and especially our excursion. We were talked into the big truck tour and it was horrible

Grand Turk Island

4 out of 5
was a fun place. Did the city tour.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
no plan, no execution, no enforcement. Just a flat out free for all. Basically get off our ship we are done with you
