Review summary

I've been on many cruise ships, but this one was unfortunately the worst. What I disliked most was the poor manners of the passengers. Speak and laugh loudly without bothering other passengers. Whether in the hallway or on the balcony. I also smelled marijuana at times. Not only does it take a long time to get a meal, but the number of items is small. At the buffet, it seemed like we were in line for rations. I didn't feel comfortable on the deck, so I spent most of my time in the cabin.　I don't want to go on another similar cruise anymore.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

No much choices for both dining room and buffet. Buffet had long lines and sometime there are no enough foods to serve.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

Most of the areas were so crowed and it made me stay in the room all the time. I went to the fitness center every morning for doing yoga. the yoga mat was good, but no much space.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

There was no entertainment show.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

The room steward, Elly was great! He responded to our request so promptly.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

I think it was not clean because of the passengers manners.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

It was nice to be in the cabin. The balcony was so nice to be relaxed.

Ship tip

I hope the clues check the noise level around the cabins, especially after midnight. Many passengers were so noisy. I couldn't sleep well.

Unfortunately, poor behavior is not just limited to cruises. I think more prominent with our society as a whole anymore. It seems to me that basic courtesies are an unknown skill. I try to avoid it and not change my behavior from the way I was raised. It is not worth rude annoying people ruining my time.

Carnival is trying to get back to family cruising...i don't think it's working. But i don't think your being fair to say there were no entertainment shows... but still... thanks for your review

Great Mother Daughter Trip

great cruise! the entertainment was top-notch, the staff was amazing, and the cruise director super friendly and funny! we loved half moon cay the most, the other two ports were mostly about shopping. unfortunately, the food got us sick :/
