Review summary

No where worth what we paid. They nickel and dimes us every step of the way. Could smell marijuana all over the ship. No onboard credit was recurved from this site cheap cruises, though I followed the directions and have a co formation email of the credit process being completed. Not a clean ship. Rude staff. Very few actual smiling faces.

Service and Staff

1 out of 5
Staff treated you like an inconvenience. Deli staff rushed you to order in a long line then messed up every order they took. Was called delinquent by staff member during disembarkation cause we were kicked out of our room while waiting for them to call our floor to disembark., very few smiling faces, bar staff treated boundless bubbles patrons like a problem

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
All the glass windows were nasty and covered in slime. Was told at sea they needed to come clean our rusty deck at sea due to environmental reasons they could only clean the decks at sea, then didn’t. So when we were in port in Freeport they told us they could only clean decks while in port due to environmental issues. So which is it ?

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Room was comfy. Bed was great bathroom was great. Balcony was nasty. Could not see stars at night because of overhead lights that stayed on all hours. Sunsets were amazing

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
Horrible. Started as a great plan but execution was bad. Toldvto stat in our rooms but we’re kicked out of our rooms. Waited patiently for our deck to be called, and was told by an attendant we could go but we said we will wait because we were kicked out if our room while waiting and the attendant said we were delinquents, 40 year old delinquents. Not everyone was on the same page.

I wonder if this review is even true. There is no cruise listed for this user and they seem to just want to bash Carnival. Many of the statements make no sense, especially about Freeport.

If you cruise in May or June, expect graduates to be having a good time! Also, cruising during anytime schools are out. We avoid these times. We cruised once in June, but it was not bad.

If you do your homework before cruising, you know exactly what you're going to spend. Once on board, you don't have to spend any money unless, you choose too. So your statement is not true at all. If you want to do extras, that's all on you.

Sorry it was unpleasant for you. There is a learning curve sometimes for where to go when and where to find the best food. Pools are small and crowded, so the best pools are on excursions -- or if you stay on the ship at a port, you can have it more to yourself. Best of luck, if you decide to try cruising again. We always find carnival to be an amazing value. 🛳🏝🎉
