Review summary

My husband and I are not normally picky about food. But we were very disappointed. The desserts were good, but most of our meals were bland and had an odd consistency. Our servers were wonderful and attentive though. It wasn’t their fault the food wasn’t good. We highly recommend Mr. Sanchos Beach Club in Cozumel. That was our favorite day of the Cruise. We didn’t book any excursions in Costa Maya, but got off the ship and did some shopping. I made the mistake of having 2 Pina Coladas at the Tiki Bar. I normally only drink dry wine and light beer because I’m Diabetic. I wasn’t thinking. The Pina Coladas really looked good. But I felt horrible from all that sugar! Plus I have an immune system disorder that takes away my energy. My blood sugars must have gone sky high. I felt really sick. So when heading back to the ship they had wheelchairs available. I’m turning 62 next week and have never had to use a wheelchair before, but I took them up on using one. When we got to the ship they took me to my room. They never questioned me about why I was feeling sick and exhausted. I drank a lot of water, took a nap and then felt much better. At dinner time, I ordered a Light Beer and was told my Cheers package had been revoked for the next 24 hours! I was so upset that they did this without talking to me about it. Plus it was embarrassing! They assumed I was intoxicated. And I was not! I had to go to customer service and then talk to security. They said they couldn’t do anything for 24 hours and to come back the next day. I was so hurt and upset. It ruined what was supposed to be a relaxing trip. I had to go back a few times and then fill out a report. I feel Carnival was unfair in how they handled this. It was very stressful and upsetting. Our room was not as clean as it could have been either. Because of my immune disorder I took along Clorox wipes. The bathroom sink had some little curly hairs when I wiped out the sink. Plus the bathroom smelled like a sewer the entire trip no matter how much I cleaned it. I heard other passengers had the same complaint about the odor. So we decided we will never be taking a Carnival Cruise again.
