Review summary

Carnival had a last minute change in the itinerary due to problems with the boat. I was not notified about the change and neither were a lot of other passages who found out the day of embarkment. We were scheduled to go to Grand Cayman  and instead went to Costa Maya. Costa Maya was a very small port that was just built for cruise ships. The boat was very outdated, the website said it was newly refurbished in 2015 but did not appear to be.  Our stateroom furntiture was very old that it looked dirty and I did not want to put clothes away in the drawers. Most of the staff was very friendly. Some of the bartenders were cranky. The guest services desk was not helpful and never looked into our complaint. The pools on the boat were very tiny.
