what a joke

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Main dining room was average at best. While the servers were fine, they were not working with much.. Food was below average. Specialty restaurants.. Good, but very limited sushi spot..had to pay a little extra, worth it not to have to deal with horrendous lines on buffets. Lines at all food ques were horrible. Imagine this, spending 10 days of a ship and having undercooked, flavorless, cold food. Servers tried. Bartenders forgot one thing... smile! Neenee, Jordan, Jocelyn and main lobby were wonderful. Lido deck, Red Frog all had attitudes and rarely smiled. Maybe because they were severely understaffed during high traffic times. If it werent for the Cheers package, even if you dont overdrink, plan on being crushed for drink prices... plus the automatic 18% plus plus plus...

Carnival sponsored catamaran ride. My 22 year old was accosted by Crew member. Carnival staff was worthless in helping in this matter..

Please don’t sail with us again on Carnival. We like positive, fun people. You are not one.

The 1 star for st Thomas seems a little unfair since it seems to only be based on things out of their control, hurricanes. Maybe traveling in the Caribbean isn’t for you 🤷🏼‍♀️

Carnival can do nothing about what happens off the ship!

Sounds like cruising and traveling isn’t for you. You seemed to have bad luck in every port and didn’t like anything about the trip. I’m guessing it would be best for everyone if you just stay home in the future.
