Review summary

Good cruise. Old ship but it is what you make it My only complaint was the room steward service—not what we were accustomed to. Dining room staff was exceptional. .

I agree. We just got off this ship. We enjoyed ourselves and gave high marks. But cdsimox is right. Our room steward service was not good. The room was dirty and dusty (a lot of visible dust). I had to point it out and he took care of it but still. Also, they give you the option one day or twice a day service. I choose twice daily. The first night he skipped our room, but I made him aware of that too the next day. He then apologized and came twice daily after that. Getting laundry bags and slips was very challenging too. Out of 16 Carnival cruises the room steward service was the worst. But still, a great cruise and the dining room staff was excellent. Ranks within the top 3 cruises we have taken.
