Disembarkation

A mess. Directed and redirected to where we were supposed to go. Luggage in hand, waited for our floor to be called, and sent back. Very unorganized, by this point i really just needed to get off this ship!

I totally agree. 7/2015 went on this cruise ship. Things were old and rusty on the ship. Elevator had been broken two years. Was way over crowded on the "at sea" days. Pools too small as well.

it does but it's ok. This was our 10th cruise with Carnival and the only one we didn't like.

Omg. I'm so sorry. A terrible vacation makes it harder to go back to work.
