Review summary

The crew didn't know how to handle the amount of passengers for boarding and leaving the boat causing many missed opportunities as well as missing the flight back home. The we purchased highlights of st John tour and it didn't allow enough time in the market or at the falls to allow anyone with handicaps time enough to even bother to get off the bus, those of us that are hardy were unable to see the whole market in the time frame allowed. The food on board the ship wasn't up to Carnivals standards and left many as well as myself unhappy. The staff was trying to be helpful but they over booked the my time dinning . Though it wasn't the fault of the captain it was upsetting that we were unable to go into Halifax. I feel that they should have allowed us use of our phones during the time we would have been off the ship as it cause my family unneeded worry when they were unable to get a call to me when I was suppose to be off the ship.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

the staff was trying hard even though some seem to be clueless as to what going on perhaps this was a first time for this staff.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

It was bigger then I thought it would be just wish the stair to get into the bunk was more stable. The crew kept it nice ans clean . I has to get onto one guy because he'd knock so lightly then just walk in on me a few times caught me undressed .

the highlight of st john tour I was told was a good one to take for those with disabilities. It wasn't even a good one for those that are healthy not given enough time at any of the places. Save your money and walk to the city market on your own it is only a ten minute walk from the ship with lots to see along the way.

We had same issues week of September 28 - Oct.4. Boat was confusing. 100 feet from docking in Halifax and Captain Chickened out. Cruise director was not like previous cruises. You can look at pictures in our previous cruises and the Director was in everyone. Enjoyed the sights but the ship was boring or controlled chaos. First time my wife and I ever took naps to fill the time on a Cruise.
