Review summary

Average at best....for $4000 I would expect more. Carnival is just okay. I will definitely use a different cruise line next time. Our daughter (9) got food poisoning from shrimp in the dining room....her and my husband had to miss the second port...highly disappointing. Overall staff is good. Bartenders in main lounge were very rude! (ignoring me for over 15 minutes and serving others that arrived after me). I wish we would have spent our money elsewhere
