Old? It was built in 2004 only 15 years out of its 40 year service life. If you want an old ship, try the 27 year old Carnival Sensation and it's 7 sister ships or RC Majesty of the Seas with cabins 2/3 the size and no mini bar fridge. Or the 35 year old Bahamas Paradise ship Grand Celebration.

That's about all you can expect from Carnival. Do your self a favor and book with RCCL next time and you will have none of those issues. 😁

Every cruise line has its older ships but the more I research and read I am of the opinion that RCCL has the nicest older ships. And for sure some of the nicest new ones. After only one cruise total and it on the Oasis , I'm hooked on Royal....

Yours is the first bad review of this boat that I've seen. My wife and I felt much the same. Contrary to your opinion, I do like the Carnival line. I don't know where you live, but, if it's here in California they just launched or are about to launch a new boat. The Panorama.

Not that great of a cruise, unfortunately. Crew not very engaged with cruisers. The ports were great, puerta vallarta was amazing!

Mexican Riviera most terrific! Our Mexican Riveria exceptional!

Happy Cruise
