Review summary

Cabin service excellent!  Food at Fantasy Dinning and wait staff excellent.  But that is the only part of the cruise I enjoyed.  A whole lot of nothing for my 3k.  WAY OVER crowded ship you couldn't even move elbows in the pool or hot tub.  I know cruises are about money but NOTHING except buffet/dinning is included in my 3k! The constant pushing for picture taking is everywhere to the point of annoying. It made me feel like all that was wanted was my money.  This was my first time sailing on Carnaval.  I've always done other ships and they were fun.  Great shows in the evenings of singing and dancing all included in price.  This had nothing unless you wanted to pay 150.00 (of course cost extra) to see the Styx concert.  I found myself in my cabin a lot or standing in a very long line to get a hot dog hoping there will be a seat.

I bet it was a group cost

Thanks for posting your first review here.  Sorry to read that you overpaid for your cruise.  If you didn't use a TA I suggest that you do so next time.  There are lots of other cruise lines out there.  I hope that your next cruise meets your expectations.  Carnival however does give the best value and usually the best prices.  Can't figure how your paid such a high price.

I'm kinda hoping that the 3k was for the whole package. Strikes me as a bit pricy

I hope he repost with more detail.

The advertisement on the left hand side this page says $489 for a suite with Balcony, 4 night Bahamas?  3k? We were on this cruise in 2010, and although I would never recommend it, I was wondering, is the MDR not included in the fare anymore. Th OP indicated that only the buffet was included??

Thank you for posting your review. I was thinking the same thing... it sounds terribly overpaid. Please explain more if you are able.  Hope your next cruise is a great experience.

I'm a bit confused. When you stated "A whole lot of nothing for my 3k", are you saying you paid $3000 for an inside cabin for a 4 night cruise aboard a ship that is 22 years old? Not possible...right?
