Review summary

Cabin was dirty but nothing new for carnival. Took more then a day to get room cleaned properly. The ship smelled of sewer gas 80% of the time even just out side of the black pearl restaurant. Buffet was very everage at best. Desserts were all bad. Pizza was okay the hamburgers and fries were good at the grill. Taste bar terible no sushi bar as advertised. There were a few staff that were awesome Hadi, Edwin, Gayellpel and Pedro oh and Troy. Everyone else seemed annoyed with helping you in amy way. spa was just a huge ssles pitch to buy their products like a 45 dollar brush, massage therapy with bamboo bruised the base of my skull hurt for three days. Tandora restaurant was hit or miss.

I agree about the desserts, besides the lava cake, my wife and I have always not cared for any of the other dessert offerings from Carnival
