Nassau B'Hamas was the only good thing

PORTS:

Freeport was a dump.  I would not recommend it to anyone.  Nassau was the same.  We took in a segway tour which was fun.  Went to the Market and had some fun there as well.  Other than that, the cruise was nothing to write home about. I gave two stars just because of Nassau. Otherwise it would have been negative stars. Freeport is still recovering from past hurricanes and a lot of the tourism areas have not recovered.

THE SHIP:
The ship was nice, but the kids (ages 8 to 15) were a handful to deal with.  There should be a rule, 15 and under accompanied by an adult that are outside of the children camps. I came on this cruise with my wife and left our 3 at home to have kids free time (from our kids and to let our hair down).  Well that backfired.  I have never seen such misbehaved children in all my life. They were running out of control all over the ship, bumping into people, cutting in lines, making messes at the ice cream stations, and taking soooo much food that they never consumed. They hung out at the pizzeria and ONLY ice cream station (more to come on that) opened after 9 PM until 1 or 2 in the morning running around wreaking havoc in that area.

Not sure why Carnival feels (with 2,000 people aboard) they need to close the all the ice cream stations but one in the back of the ship with the only eatery place (Pizza).  This is magnet for teenagers.  Why not in the ADULT only area have an Ice Cream machine, or open others up to keep the magnitude of kids from hanging around there and forming lines.  They take all the seats in the area, then they will get back up and get another.

While walking around the at 11PM, two youts (love my Cousin Vinny), two 13/14 year olds were walking in front of my wife and I they dropped their ice creams on the floor and proceeds to tip over chairs as they walked...  When they realized we were behind, they took of running and laughing.

Carnival should issue child restraints as guest get on as a way to remind them to patrol children as it is not CARNIVALS job to babysit for you dumb parents that want to party all night and allow your kids to roam free on the ship.  Leave you kids home next time if you cannot keep an eye on them.  Maybe carnival should have a curfew for kids???  Just Saying, not a fun trip, will not come back because of this.

SHOWS:

Even though the juggler was really good, you cannot remove the shows from the ships and think people will be entertained with a one man show. If this is Carnivals way of saving a few dollars, we will go to other ships from now on as well really enjoy the cruise shows.

The comedians, man, where do you start...  Both of these guys were a complete success and really good at what they do.  I wish I could remember their names...

FOOD:
okay....  nuff said there....
