Review summary

I don’t think I will sail carnival again. The booking experience was terrible as well. Dont give an offer, and then rescind it when you can’t comply.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

It looked really old.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

Very noisy, the beds were extremely uncomfortable. I was supposed to have a balcony room, and they refused to comply. Put me on a wait list, and still did not change my room, and tried to take back my room credits.

Ship tip

Sail on another ship.

Sorry you got burned on this trip. Here's my advice, but always choose the trip that calls to you. I went on the Freedom and knew it's limitations, but made it awesome by focusing on what made me happy. I was totally shocked that the Science Shows were what I lived for after the Comedians were worse than playing Solitaire 🤣. Chaz was not on this boat... The Surprise Best Entertainment was the Cruise Director. He made my trip! Never underestimate how they can affect your mood. "What the Hell was that Poop smell the first day?" 🤣🤣🤣 Oh yeah, just Dance a little. Nobody you know is watching 👀

I wonder what agency you booked the cruise? Does not sound right.

You obviously didn’t book direct through Carnival. Had you done so, the room you booked would have been the room you sailed. Sounds like you let a bad booking experience ruin what could have been a great vacation.
