What went wrong, help us understand. I'm be sailing on her in March and would like to know your opinion. I've done a bit of research and know that its an older ship in need of a bit of TLC. I'm fine with that, love my weekend getaways on the Imagination and that's a pretty small old ship. The age doesn't bother me, I think the staff/crew is what really make a cruise. Did you have a problem with the crew?

Do your homework in future ..if you want newer better ship then book it ...we personally like some of the older ships all ships needs a lick of paint from time to time but it doesn’t make you cruise and worse .. love 💕 cruising big new ships , small old ships .. had 22 and not a bad one yet 9 more sleeps till our next cruise adventure.. enjoy cruise buddies its what you make of it .. enjoy all happy cruising..

Hi jamiegarcia20. Is there a particular reason why you think Carnival is going downhill? If you recently cruised on Splendor you may not be aware that the ship is going in for refurbishment early next year. I was just on it in September and did noticed it is looking pretty tired. It's definitely ready for a face lift, but I found the crew to be very hard working and did everything to make sure our cruise went well.
