Review summary

 While we do understand that safety is the priority & that the Catalina stop had to be cancelled, the director should have a plan B. The Playlist show was cancelled because the ship was rocking..understandable. We docked overnight in Ensenada. Directors should have the show that night since the ship is docked. I know there is an schedule to follow but they have cancelled/made changes on the schedule anyway so, why not adjust the Playlist show schedule whilst it is safe.  Instead, they had the show as scheduled when the ship started cruising again so instead of having the "real" show, they have to adjust and remove the dancing part because the ship is rocking again,  They should have done the full show whilst the ship was docked in Ensenada.  It is enough that they cancelled the 2nd show on the first night. Carnival should have given us bigger credit than $6.00 for cancelling too many shows as scheduled.

They can't change the schedule because the performers are scheduled elsewhere or may be off duty when they aren't performing. If the only issue was an amended show then it sounds like the rating should have been MUCH higher. They gave you a credit for cancelling shows that aren't guarenteed and you're complaining that it's not big enough? Try counting your blessings that they gave anything.
