Review summary

9th cruise on various cruise lines. 2nd cruise with carnival. 

Very disappointed with this trip. Buffet food was not very good always seemed like a bunch of leftovers put together, not at the temperature that it should be, just very plain and boring. You can definitely tell that they have cutback. The Baccus dining room was ok but not like it use to be nor like it should be. Very surprised when they brought a bill for my husbands steak. All other cruises that we have ever gone on only charge in the specialty restaurants. We had a balcony room, it was nice but never once saw our room steward. Public restrooms were awful. Staff was very friendly except for the lady officer who pounded on our door at 1:00 am to tell us that the balcony light being on was disturbing our neighbor. May I recommend a little sign on the wall that says turn the light off or we will be pounding on your door. Entertainment was also nothing like it should be. What happened to the beautiful shows and costumes? Replaced by comedians that were just so so. The stops we made were very nice we rented vans and had them take us around. This was our 3rd Mexican trip and Cabo, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta are always entertaining. Needless to say this will definitely be our last trip on Carnival.

I always think the comedians are great! As for the charge for the steak, it is clearly printed on the menu that it is extra. There are nights when a steak is included, but generally it is extra.

You need to be told to turn a light off? Okay. They use potatoes from the night before at breakfast for hash browns. Is that such a big deal? Does it make food poisonous to use it the next day? No. Chill out.
