Review summary

This was my first Carnival experience and I was really excited to go but was quickly disappointed. The rooms are outdated but ok but our balcony doors was smeared ,residue all over banister. My husband wiped the chairs and banister down so we could look over and sit on balcony. The restaurant food we were assigned to "The Black Pearl" food selection was good but the buffet was very limited and food ok. The burgers and pizza that was available was really good. I really was upset with the "unlimited Drink package" we paid for in advance actually has 15 drink minimum daily...really really disappointed. My husband and I work over 40+ hours a week and on our anniversary trip and to be told we are limited to drinks a day was a slap in the face. We are over 40 years old and di not display any type of disruptive behavior to be told during our 3rd day hat we are limited to a15 drinks or could not receive an extra shot or wait another 5-10 minutes to order another or different drink. Our hostess was great and the ports visited was awesome. I am not sure if we will go on Carnival cruise line again if so it will be on the brand new ship Vista or Horizon. But from the looks of it I will stay with Royal,Disney or try Norweigan.

I spend less than 100.00 on drinks for the entire cruise.

Hit the road back to your Royal & Disney. Carnival is for the fun people.

Any cabin I've had was well maintained and I know that if there was a problem, my steward would take care of it.

How can you drink 15 drinks a day anyways? That is impressive jeez

kassimer1    7 years ago

you could have bought extras. it's just not include in the package

No limit in Royal.....unlimited means exactly that unlimited not carnivals 15 max definition

No limit on Princess or Royal Caribbean that I'm aware of...but I've never been flagged

we thought 15 a day was to many , after 6 I was done.

actually Norwegian doesn't, but I don't like NCL.. 15 drinks is more than enough per day, and yes when you purchase the package it states only 15 and it doesn't cover the first day

I know your adults and work hard but I thought 15 drinks a day was alot... I never get past 6 aday.... But like the rest said it's in the rules on the drink package you should read what your getting. All cruise company's have a limit on drinks...

You have to read terms before you agree.

Did you not read the drink package before purchasing it? It clearly states that on Carnival website. All of the cruise lines have a limit with their package.

It's pretty clear right there in drink package info about a 15 drink limit, no double shots and waiting 5 mins between drinks....
