Review summary

Customer service on the ship and at Carnival's 800 number is very poor. They blame COVID for not having enough people.

Cabin / Stateroom

We did not have robes. The cabin did not have a refrigerator for cold drinks, the ship's design has COOLERS like you use on a picnic. Totally useless !

Ship tip

Consider a older ship.

They gave us early disembarkation so we could have plenty of time to get to the airport for a early flight

If you want a robe, just ask your stateroom attendant. They will bring you one. Of course they don’t answer the phone at Guest Services, have you seen the long lines.

"coolers like you use on a picnic"? Maybe his was broke and he didn't realize the thing is supposed to get somewhat cold

Wow! Of course they’re short staffed from pandemic, there are many added tasks and complications even IF they didn’t have a gap in service during COVID creating a staffing nightmare for them. Sounds like lack of research on robes and refrigerator, but gosh those are easy to fix, why let it spoil your cruise? I have a note on my to do list to ask for robes when we board next cruise, based on research. Empty refrigerators always take time to get to good temp, if you asked this question on this app I’d give you my tips such as leave the cabinet open to let the hot air out and put a bucket of ice in the refrigerator with your items, and yes they’re not real efficient if you need something real cold put it on ice.
