Review summary

Second Carnival trip. First was average to poor...this one was average to poor.

Food uninspiring. Regular dining team good. Brunch dining team was horrible.

Comedy stand-ups were third tier performers.

Fifteen minutes after debarking the ship back in port the "Cruise Ship Pukes" started. Horrible! We had noticed that in contrast with other cruises, there was no crew constantly sanitizing surfaces.

Carnival is what Carnival is.

I am sad to say that in my opinion Carnival has been going downhill for years. It is too bad becouse I used to really like Carnival. In my opinion it is now the Greyhound bus of the cruise industry. Which may be perectly fine for some travellers. Just a quick question for you, do you intend to give them a third chance or are you going to switch to a different cruise line?
