Review summary

Just enjoying my son and our fabulous room stuart Holic.

I was very disappointed this voyage in part by what follows:

At the time of my visit the steam was not working. Buffet dinner the beef and wine was very tuff and cold, The lack of flavored teas was quite disappointing as well. Common pool area music was absolutely awful the entire cruise. The programing was a loop. out of sync with no theme. All clubs were too hip-hop, auto tunes, house music oriented. Nothing for mature individuals or couples SAD with all of the onboard venues ONE venue should host MUSIC FLASHBACKS for adults.
I AM A PROFESSIONAL MUSIC PROGRAMMER WITH SPECIAL FOCUS ON MATURE ADULT MUSIC PROGRAMMING. Many areas of the ship had dishes and or food left and not bused by staff for long periods of time.

Onboard Triva sessions very un-organized, rushed and overall thrown together.

Time to RETIRE This CLASS! Too many soild dishes left unbused for too long throughout the ship! Deck Restrooms out of service and very dated!

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

A single torn robe was in our cabin closet apon our arrival. Exterior window was well overdue for some CLR to remove hard water deposits. The cabin light is terrible need some type of dimmer an the location of the night light if you will is so in practical. THE BEST PART OF THE CABIN EXPERIENCE WAS OUR ATTENDANT "HOLIC"! Over bed air vent loud and often cold.

I agree with the comment above. Carnival inspiration probably wasn't your best bet. the inspiration and imagination are short cruises and attract the younger party crowds looking for a weekend party cruise lol

Mature individuals who demand MATURE ADULT MUSIC typically do not choose Carnival. Try Celebrity. I agree about people leaving their food and dishes in non food areas around the ship. The ship can't post table bussers everywhere.

So to sum it up you're saying the inspiration didn't inspire you.
