Review summary

Day 1...tried for 10 minutes to get room service, we had not received our luggage @ 3:00pm wife needed fresh clothes, she spilled something on them. Went on our balcony, I don’t think it has been cleaned since the ship was built. 5:00pm went to the Lido deck to relax, table had sticky substance on it, wife asked for it to be wiped off, the attendant wiped it with a dry towel, still sticky Got some lemonade & it was very watered down. Wife paid $70 for soft drink package, they didn’t even include a cup!! Have to go to a bar to get a soft drink, hard to find an open bar in the morning! Day 3...Toilet overflowed, water would not stop running. Day 4... Went into Roatan, had a nice time, came back & room smells like a sewer!!

3000 people on the ship , room service is not on there to just answer your room service call

Well after 60 cruises with carnival we know the routine ! Very lucky to get luggage by 4:00 , also you should have gotten up , poured a little water on the table , got a napkin and wiped your table yourself , or was the napkin to heavy ?? And the soft drink pkg was never 70.00 , and why should they give you your own personal cup to keep ? 😂

We went on the Miracle in March and had a great time. Luggage was delivered around 2pm.

Seems like cruising isn’t for you. Most love it, but it’s not for everyone.

Did you do any research into going on a cruise? You need to bring a change of clothes in your carry on because even if you purchase Faster to the Fun or have priority your luggage most likely be at your room by 3 pm. There are over 2000 passengers whose luggage they need to deliver so without priority it could show up at anytime that day or night.
