During the entire trip when you walked toward the Aft the hallways on the 2nd level had a horrendous odor. In passing down these hallways everyone talked about the odor and how bad it smelled. Unfortunately, not only did the hallways reap of this odor but in my daughter’s cabin, this odor was magnified. It smelled like raw sewage (see attached documents of the daily and many complaints). Even people of the first and third floor complained of the odor. I guess, Instead of dumping their mess in the ocean, they are holding it on board and dumping it in the quests rooms. But what makes this situation worse it the fact that Carnival is not willing to compensate you for the fact that you can't stay in your room. They will not even offer you an upgrade in your room neither will they refund you your money. So, if you don't mind being treated like this and throwing away money, then I guess you will not mind Carnival. However, if you believe you should be valued as a customer then sail with another cruise line.

We were on the Magic on the May 5th sailing, experienced none of this. You gave everything a one star rating? We had a great experience and enjoyed every part of this sailing!

Actually, all of their ships have this issue, mostly in aft area, but some worse than others. The problem can be remedied in your cabin by pouring water down the bathroom floor drain. All ships hold their waste until they can empty them—-just like the hold in an RV, but larger. I also bring a solid air freshener for my bathroom. And I never be ok a cabin on a lower deck. On my last cruise on the Breeze, I only noticed the odor coming up the floor drain on deck 10 aft by the Tides Bar.

We were on deck 7 on the breeze same problem we called every night they brought A big fan and removed the odor. After 4 nights the toilet wouldn’t flush. After about 5 hours maintenance opened the sewer line. Raw sewage ran all over the floor near the elevators. After all we complained and the inconvenience of no toilet for several hours at night we were given 3 free drinks and don’t even drink!!!’

We always stay on the Lido deck or Spa cloud rooms. Would never consider the 2nd or 3rd floors.
