Review summary

It's been over 3 years since my last Carnival cruise. The quality has definitely declined. Small things. Mints on the pillow at night. (Get rid of the animal towels!) Lobster night! Now we have to pay an extra $20!! The dinners are not as good as they used to be. I even bought your cookbook one year because the meals were so good. Most of the time the meals arrived to the table lukewarm. The desserts were dry - they tasted like they were frozen.

We were in E166 - the noise from above was constant. We figured out we were under the galley. It made it difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep.

You should show movies on days at sea!!!

Love cruises never complain lots to do and if you don't have fun or eat enough it's your own fault . the crew works so hard to please everyone. Love the animals shows how much they care.

I LOVE THE ANIMALS! Maybe it's just the kid in me? I never have had a bad food experience though. They did show movies at sea on ours. We leave in April on the magic . The biggest ship we have ever done. I have high hopes!

On anything less than a 7 day cruise you have to pay for the lobster.

save the animals....we do miss the mints. it's known that cruises less than six days no longer have lobster for free . stop picking out what is wrong with your cruise and instead try picking out everything that was right with your cruise.. what a concept.. guess that is why we have never had a bad cruise, we don't look for one.
