Review summary

most of the equiptment in the gym was broke and no one really cared because they were going to get new equiptment( doesnt do me much good, the12 days i was on board. talked with the head of the dept and she didnt much care that i was upset.... the trip to ensenada, to get the ship was a total disaster and NO ONE knew what they were doing!!!!!!!!! we didnt get to the port till 9:30 pm and was tired and hungry. BUT they did give us a bottle of water when we boarded(after sitting at tthe pier for 3 1/2 hrs(none of the vending machines worked so no food) they know everyone was mad but just said "sorry!!"( and that was day 1 of our cruise!! NO one of importance cared. in our last port, oahu, we spent the night. we never got any information on what was available on the pier, where to go or shop.... (only if you booked a tour through carnival..) it was like we werent there anymore. if ii had never sailed on canival before( i am platnium) i would never go on carnival again. it was so bad they never gave us comment cards. guess they didnt want to know what we thought!! :)

skip all the carnival tours. we used "roberts" on all the islands. they were prompt, knowledgeable, efficent and 1/2 the priice of carnival...

Pros: the dining room staff, lido deck staff and room steward was one of the best we have ever had. the ship was immaculate

Cons: the most unorganized carnival cruise that i have ever taken. administration (pursers desk, cruise director "STU" and dept managers) never knew what was going on, and didnt give a darn.

Recommends Carnival Spirit? No.
