Sail date: January 15, 2009

Ship: Carnival Spirit

Cabin type: Balcony

Traveled as: Singles/Friends

Review summary

We were very dissaponted with the costs while aboard. Drinks costs were excessive $8 to $14. We did not enjoy paying for every little thing once on board. Nothing is free except food. Even bottled water was expensive. We did not receive the rooms we wanted even though we booked early in May. They offered a room change for $250. Thanks so much. We have decided to never cruise Carnival again because of that and no one seemed to care when we told them that. A bad experience to say the least

To spread out to do anything without hiring one of their expensive taxis
