Review summary

Not very happy with carnival . They use to be the FUN SHIP now it's the MONEY SHIP.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
Unaware of changes for "SOME" guests not for all. Had a party of 16 and was not allowed to board together.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Dining room was good, speciality restaurant, did not participate, buffets, eh.....just ok nothing to write home about.Room service, whats up with the charging of items? I pay enough to cruise and now for room service I have to pay extra? Even in the dining room, if you want steak or lobster its MORE .

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Karaoke sucked. Old equipment, Host, was just doing it, didn't seem to be care or enjoy what he was doing. Serenity deck....not well marked, to many KIDS .

Entertainment

Comedians on this trip were ok, funnier than most i have seen on cruises..

Service and Staff

2 out of 5
To me, I feel the level of service has declined over the years.. I have not been on a lot of cruises but I would say the first 4-5 cruises, I felt I was given a lot of attention from Waiters, and room stewards, but the latest cruises, you hardly see your room steward unless you call for them.The dinning room staff to me seems over worked, yet there is one waiter for rolls, butter, water, drinks, appetizers, and entrees, a lot of staff, but not coordinated or perhaps rushed.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Getting old, in need of a makeover

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
entry way was tight, mattress a little lumpy . But clean. Was not happy with the balcony, its not private. The Lido deck can see onto our balcony, and the neighbors on either side can look right into your room.

Ship tip

Go as cheap as possible, because you will be charged a lot of extra's.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

2 out of 5
We boarded ship here, stayed the night before in cocoa beach, arrived at port and could not find way into parking garage, not marked well, too much confusions with signs.

Nassau, Bahamas

2 out of 5
Hoped to get off ship and do some shopping but nothing close to walk to.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
I had 16 people in my group some had to wait over 1 1/2 hours in lines to get off. Mass confusions all over..

I was on the liberty in July and thought the wait staff and cabin steward were amazing

I have been on several carnival cruises and was only charged for things I wanted to buy. Sorry you didn’t enjoy your cruise.

Don’t cruise in the summer or during school holidays if you don’t like cruising with kids. Simple solution. Perhaps you should think about an adult resort where they don’t upsell. If they didn’t upsell, they would have to charge more for the cruise. Six of one...

I hate people who don’t understand cruising and just want to bash everything

Really? Go cheap as possible?

Not sure what “extra” charges you are talking about. The only extra charges are things you choose to purchase - specialty restaurants or Steak House entrees in the Main Dining Room; alcohol or soft drinks; excursions; the casino, etc. We rarely purchase anything not included in the cruise price (other than tips) and have a great time.
