Not so great of a cruise - did not get to go on land at Costa Rica - I know it was because of weather but 6 days on the water is a long time - with no compensation except for those with excursions got reimbursed.

Totally disagree! We were on this cruise and you did receive your port fees, taxes, and if you bought a Carnival excursion you received OBC. Was it rough seas, yes. But the captain tried several times to port. As far as staff, very friendly! And there was plenty going on. The crew even increased the activities after we could not port.

Time spent on the ship was boring and a lot of it!
