Review summary

Never again with Carnival. The two ports we stopped on weren't very impressive. The service people were great, but not enough to make up for the poor food and guest experience and lack of any medical team. All they said was they couldn't do any diagnostics because of no tools, and offered to sell me over the counter remedies that I already had. Due to the internet for my daughter not working properly we were billed over $120 by AT&T for messaging even though it said we were on the Carnival WiFi.
