Review summary

Boarding process was good. The rest was not so good. First off, we stayed on the first floor in the back of the ship. I HIGHLY recommend that you stay away from the first floor, especially in the back. We were on top of the engine room which was painfully loud. The noise was mostly noticeable in the early morning hours while trying to sleep. There was also a smell of exhaust while the ship was docked, which wasn’t pleasant. The icing on the cake was sewage backing up inside the bathroom. Wait, it gets better… They did move us to a different cabin right above the theater, which was even louder. There’s more…we had people outside of our cabin all night (adults and children) talking loudly, running up and down the hallways, knocking on doors ect. I guess respect for others is out the door in todays society, but that’s a whole another subject in itself. This cruise was a free for all from smoking pot to allowing kids inside of bars and the casino. What a disaster! Service and food were good. Ship size for the amount of people was a little cramped. We had an inside cabin which was a little cramped as well. Disembarkation process was not good and seemed very unorganized. It was the same for Catalina Island. This will be our last cruise with Carnival Cruise Lines for sure. Always keep in mind that you get what you pay for. Note to self.
