Review summary

The ride was unusually rough, almost not able to sleep through. Staff did a great job flipping tables so there was always a clean place to sit while dining in the buffet area. Buffet choices were just ok.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Buffet options were just okay, most of the people on board would end up stuck eating burgers and pizza because the better options would open and then run out of food.

Keep up with your expenses on board or you will be calling around trying to understand outrageous charges on your account and where they came from

Hmmm! Rough Cruise? I think it's because its an older ship and it might not have stabilizers? I was just on her 3 months back and yes it was a little rougher than others, but I've been on larger ship and had some rough periods! Example - MSC Seaside she carries twice the passenger count then Carnival Paradise! Never had any problems with Carnival!

This cruise was horrible! The boat smelled moldy and you could see rust and mildew. The dining options were not good at all. We only ate in the main dining room for breakfast. The buffets were disgusting. The dinner in the main dining room was inedible.
Great Cruise
Amazing!
