Review summary

The food outside the dining room sucked! Our closets reeked of cigarette smoke and transferred onto all our clothes! Yuck! We're non-smokers! We bought the Cloud 9 Spa Package and both of us got a terrible upper respiratory infection from one of the steam rooms, where there was a ceiling panel hanging loose! Perfect place for bacteria to grow! We're still suffering from this infection and it hurts to breath! The best part of our cruise was our Cabin Attendant I Putu. He made our trip nicer than it was! We heard rumors that Carnival was selling the ship to China after our cruise! The ship is in poor condition. I am disabled and slipped on the black tile they have that seems to absorb oils but no other tIle did this! We won't be doing a Carnival Cruise again! 

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

The Black Pearl was OK, but everywhere else was not up to par! Definitely not top of the line I expected!

Entertainment

1 out of 5
The Comedians were 2nd rate and about as funny as a screen door on a sunmarine! The Casino stunk so bad of tobacco we didn't want to go near it or 2 floors up or down! It stunk!

The cabinet & closets reeked of tobacco smoke and stunk up our clothes! I'm allergic to tobacco so guess how much I enjoyed it! Terrible experience!

Ship tip

Don't do it! Definitely not worth the money! Carnival Cruise line has their hand in your pocket everytime you turn around after paying 2,200 for the room!

Ports of call

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

Kontiki trip was fun!

San Juan, Puerto Rico

Carnival has agreements with the vendors and try to focus you towards their vendors due to the Kick backs they receive!

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

Great Snorkel trip! Enjoyed by all!

On your first scent on cigarette smoke, your needed to let your steward know so it could cleaned to remove the smell.

Your respiratory illness came from another passenger or you took it with you on board. There is a 24 to 48 hours from contact to symptoms.

I'm guessing you're one of those who is never happy and loves to complain about everything. We were on the Splendor last April and had an amazing time, ship was fine. Please look into land vacations, it doesn't seem like cruising is for you.

So unfortunate your experience! We cruised back in October in the Splendor, we also had a Cloud Spa 9 cabin n package. We enjoyed every second! And I will agree with ... I Putu is one of the best Cabin attendant I had meet!!! He ROCKS!!!
