The lines to embark and disembark were horrible. malfunction of the ship causing it to go too slow therefore two out of three ports had to be canceled. No proper compensation for this loss

Thanks for sharing. You must have been on the last cruise before they cancelled the next two due to engine issues. It can always be worse

What? You didn’t get your $400 on board credit? That’s more compensation than I have ever heard of. Why did you have to wait in line because you were allowed to board before your room was ready? I’ve been on those bunk beds and yes you can sit up without hitting the roof, even Shaq could.

Sorry for the bad experience. At least we can appreciate that you gave an actual review and not some crazed angry rant.

We had friends on that sailing. There first cruise. They still had a blast. They made the best of everything. From what they told me was the got reimbursed the port fees and taxes and $400 OBC. It happens and now Carnival is fixing the problem

Fine print

Very disappointed my vacation was ruined. We did not visit two out of the three ports and we did not get properly compensated. This trip really stunk and I think everyone should know about what Carnival was keeping quiet about that the panorama had issues

Never got anywhere - broken ship - lame cruise - never again Carnival - don't do it - the USS Minnow would be a better cruise
