Review summary

I had $100 stolen from my wallet in my room while at dinner. The entertainment, especially the comedy was bad. The engines were so noisy they kept us up all night. The crew was rude and after traveling for 2I hours because our united flight was delayed 9 hours, web were forced to sit and wait in the lobby for 2 hours, no one Helped us with our luggage, we were then sent to the auditorium where we had to endure a 15 minute safety briefing. The line to get breakfast in the Lido was 30 minutes with rude people cutting in front. There were way to many people. The ship was dirty and worn. You can not talk to guest services on the phone. You get an recording, if not a busy signal. We had to call housekeeping twice to clean out room, because they skipped it over. That line was mostly busy also. There was trash and stuff everywhere. The general use bathrooms were not clean the pools are small and there is no way to get a seat near one. I can go in and on. The line to get back on the Ship was up to an hour in the blazing sun. It was a free for all, no organization at all. No crew helping outside. People were cutting in line and extremely rude. This was a cruise full of low life people. Don't cruise carnival. You have been warned.

This is an extremely noisy room. I am not talking the low soothing rumble of engines. It is really, really loud. The vibrations alone literally make your teeth rattle. There was $100 stolen from my room. We had to call house keeping twice because our room was not cleaned on two days. Perhaps this is why they robbed me.

Sorry that the whole trip was negative, but I guess if you don't have patience for rude people just stay away from ruining a ship's reviews, obviously I'm sure you knew carnival isn't the "best" cruise line out there, but it's meant more for fun and not for fanciness, I'm going on the freedom this January, sister ship of Liberty, and will be having a great time. Been on 3 cruises, enjoyed them all

Just came off the ship. Waited 3 hours to get my stuff that was taken from duty free, room attendants were awesome, wifi very overpriced, spent two days on the ship due to weather mixed reviews on this trip. Carnival get your business together! They're gonna lose very loyal customers

You think there were too many people on the Liberty. Try the Dream! One less pool and far more people. However, I've never experienced things as bad as he is saying. You just can't please some people.

I've been on seven carnival cruises, some on the same ship. I've never had a horrible experience like this on any of them. I've had a horrible experience on Royal Caribbean, though. But I wouldn't base the whole cruising company off of my experiences.. Just the ship.

Miserable or a troll. There are a lot of people out there on another cruise site that I belong too that post "crap filled" reviews all the time (the forum moderators usually shut them down immediately). They do this to "stir the pot" & unfortunately we all get sucked in, lol. I say we quite feeing this guys ego & move on. TGIF everyone!!

Do you work for another cruise line? There wasn't 1 positive thing you experienced during the entire cruise? I've read alot of positive reviews, and I can't wait to sail on the Liberty later this year!

Don't know what ship you were on,But we had a fantastic time and could not fault a thing. Staff very polite and eager to help. Can't please some people. And some will always look for negative things no matter what !!

Not suggesting some of these things didn't happen, but do you usually have problems on vacation? I am just curious, because thousands of other reviews are positive, and you said not one positive thing about the whole trip. You made it sound like the most depressing experience ever had from the moment you left your house.
