Review summary

As we all know no one can control the weather, I get it.. totally understandable, however changing a 4 day cruise to Cozumel Mexico to a 3 day cruise to NO WHERE was not the best choice/idea to make, I would have much rather rescheduled my cruise for another date/month just to be able to enjoy the Water/Beaches/Sands in Mexico than to be stuck on a boat 129 miles from the Port of Tampa for 3 days.

#notmyfirstcarnivalcruise ... will probably be my last :( #sadday

I was told by the staff that January & February is always bad in the Gulf. Wish I knew that earlier.

My cruise returned 2/6 and we had such bad sea swells on 2/2 that everyone on the ship was sick from dinner time until Wednesday morning. Again Friday night from dinner time until midnight.

At least you received something. The people that were stuck on the ship when the port was closed didn't receive anything for their troubles. We had to redo airline flights and change work schedules. We lost money because of it. Carnival says it's not their problem and I don't hold that against them, because it's not.

If I'm mistaken Carnival gave them fifty percent off this cruise and fifty percent off a future one. I would be happy with that.
