Review summary

We liked cruising to the ports of Mexico, but this is the second time we have not enjoyed Carnival. Purchasing a Grand Suite, we thought we would receive more perks based on the upgrade. Also, we were not told that we could have boarded earlier than 1:30 which was listed on our boarding passes. The food in the Marketplace buffet should have been of better quality and offer more variety. Having staff serve the plates should have been done the entire cruise instead of after the one day delay as well as requiring hand sanitizing.

Ship tip

We have no tips because we were held on the ship and were charged full price for beverages while we were detained, which added an extra $100 to our account. Carnival should have been more generous due to the inconveniences.
