Terrible cruise! Never even got to see Princess Cay, had rowdy, loud drunken neighbors, and awful food in buffet.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Evening meal was great, Guys burger place was good, but buffet was terrible.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Went to the Military experience and helped me after having my Husbands burial at sea that morning. Hot tub was nice, but they should have an adults only pool.

Entertainment

Didn't go to most, especially on lobby deck, too loud.

Children's Programs

No kids with us

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Waiters, mostly at evening meal were great, our room steward was great, some bar tenders were not friendly at all, but we managed to find a couple of them that remembered our names and were very cordial.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Too confusing and one should be given a better map of where everything is. We couldn't go to our room for several hours because of plumbing issues, and some of the hallways stunk with odors of urine , vomit, and musty.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Room size was fine and beds were comfy

Ship tip

Don;t take the trip to Nassau and Princess Cay. Nassau was dirty and they wanted $63.00 to just walk on the white sandy beach, {through a guarded gate} and even people that worked on the ship said about 90% of the time they don't get to go to Princess Cay because the transports wouldn't come to get us.

Sorry you had an unhappy time. Carnival is a Fun Ship and tends to be loud all the time. Always something going on, which is why we love Carnival ❤️. We have never had grumpy workers so far on any of our Carnival cruises, other ships 🚢 yes!

Princess Cays is owned by Carnival - I have to assume there was another reason (safety? scheduling?) that you’re unaware of if they wouldn’t come transport you to land…

Shorter cruises are usually a party 24-7 crowd.

Other reviews of this sailing

Not great - a lot of really "inappropriate" people. Food in the main dining room left a lot to be desired.

Relaxing and nice seeing the Bahamas

Fantastic Bahama Cruise
