Ship tip

Don’t go on this ship it is old and broke down. They need to retire this ship. So outdated and it is morbid looking inside. The atrium reminds me of a funeral parlor.

Terrible port. When you get off the ship you are in the red light district. Sex shops and tattoo parlors.

Disembarkation

I am on the ship that is stalled on the Baltic Sea The way disembarking is being handled is awful. We are being informed and when you go to the services desk you wait in line for hours and then don’t get any answers to you question. The tell you we will let you know when you are getting off the ship. Meanwhile I have reservations in London for the rest of the trip that I have no way of knowing if I am going to be able to get there. I have prepaid no refund hotel reservations and tour excursions prepaid also

I flew to London to board the next sailing..found out after we arrived that it was delayed, then replaced with a ridiculous 5 day cruise with 2 sea days. Hard pass. Jumped on a plane and flew to belfast, picked up a rental car, and enjoying 9 days exploring the emerald isle. Major fail for my beloved Carnival....but we definitely made lemonade...

They've already cancelled the next cruise on it to fix it.

From what I read it’s a propulsion issue

Is the problem weather related or is the ship broken down?
