Review summary

Overall I was very disappointed with Carnival. Not sure I will sail with them again. With all the newer ships they are launching it is really a shame that they are still sailing this ship in these horrible conditions.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
No problems at all.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
The food was average at best at both the buffets and the dining room. I was disappointed with the dining room food as I expected it to be better.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Not too much to do as the ship is old and does not have many of the amenities of the newer ships.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Shows were decent.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
The ship conditions are terrible. The ship is way overdue a renovation. There were areas on the ship that were dirty and dingy. Didn't want to go anywhere near some of them.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
Cabin was dated as well. Full of dust. The bathroom was dated with a medicine cabinet that did not close. The wallpaper was tore and tattered in places and the molding was in need of repair.

Ship tip

I would advise folks not to sail on this ship. Carnival needs to completely renovate the ship before they send it out on any additional voyages. I was very disappointed in the condition it is in.
