Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Stateroom staff very nice but some dining room staff were very disappointing

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

New Elevator technology sucked took more time than having normal elevators. Had to use a lot stairs and people tend to sit in stairs so you have to pass them as obstacles

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5

Balcony door had problems and we had to call maintenance to fix cause you’ll hear loud wind noises

Ship tip

Don’t do it unless you want to be around rude annoying people specifically certain group….

We have taken quite a few Carnival cruises since the restart. There has been a nice mix of people from every possible background and we have always had a great time. Many of us appreciate the fact we will not be seeing you on our next Carnival cruise .

I think people generally have " who cares anymore" attitude with the decreased service and charges for things that used to be free and forced gratuity because people stiff the staff. People are just rude now. I just don't let all that bother me. Looks like this was your first cruise? Your profile isn't complete, I don't know. Thanks for your review but maybe vacation elsewhere I'm thinking.

What do you mean by "ghetto?" That is a really offensive term to be throwing around.
