Sail date: September 23, 2011

Ship: Carnival Spirit

Cabin type: Balcony

Traveled as: Family (older children)

Review summary

The ship was great, the buffet was okay. As usual the bed was wonderful. The beginning was kinda rough because we booked a balcony guarantee and got an obstructed balcony, it was changed for a small fee and all ended well there after losing a nights sleep. I purchased transfers from the port to the airport and the bus was not marked, we could not hear if any announcement was made as to which airport we were going and the carnival representative put us on the wrong bus. I called carnival and they expected us to ride the bus back to the port and then take a different bus to the right airport but our plane was a 1:35 flight so we would have missed it. Our bus driver saved the day by dropping us off at the correct airport after everyone else was off the bus. Long day.

We went to see the blow hole and all the way there were harassing vendors! The blow hole did not cooperate and it cost money to use the restroom?
