Review summary

Passengers in room 0910 were smoking on balcony. People were smoking at non-smoking slot machines, you could not get away from the smoke in the casino.

Diner meals were always late, steaks were over cooked, and drinks were never right.

Ship photographers were always blocking walk ways on deck 5, their attitude was that this was their space and we were intruding.

I have now now crossed off both Carnival and Princess cruise lines from my list of preferred cruise lines.

I think you're not being fair. But that's okay. People who actually want to enjoy their vacation don't need people like you around who complain about everything. See ya.

No balcony smoking. I'm a carnival cruiser and the smoking around non smoking areas of casino is very true and the camera people are there to make money,and they do block the main walk way at night. I'm a carnival cruiser and I just deal with that. Never had the other problems you complain about. Maybe try Holland America they may cater to your needs better than the party boats.

Smoking is allowed on your balcony. Mostly all casinos allow you to smoke.

I has no problems with Carnival Splendor last week...everything and everyone was excellent and maybe BC you are on with a different group of ppl and staff. I rarely seen ppl smoking or the pixel photographers being in the way. I enjoyed evert aspect of my cruise.
