Review summary

The boat was an old boat. The food was only fair at best. Not sure if I will ever take a cruise on Carnival again. Because I booked the cruise with your company. On more than one occasion I heard. "Because you used a Third Party to book the cruise you need to talk with them not us." Not A Happy Person. I was also told when booking the cruise that they was clubs for young children. from the age of 12 moths to 2 years old. Maybe an hour a day. It might as well not had children care on the boat. Because what can you do with a hour a day?

We where close to the engine area at the back boat. We could hear noise all thought the night happening in that area. The boat had a smell of SH_T in the hallway. Not sure where that was coming from.

I love people who say they NEVER would cruise Carnival when they only did 1 cruise. And I would have done my research before booking about things line childcare. If you book a hotel room do you expect them to babysit your children?😏

If you want more for your children to do, go on a Disney cruise.

i don't know why you would use a third party to begin with. It is so easy to book a cruise online with the cruiseline yourself. Did you really save that much with this other company? I believe if I am not mistaken that the Carnival website states the time limit for child care for really young children. I wouldn't give up on Carnival so quickly. Just make sure you do your research first.
