Review summary

It wasn't worth the money that I had paid. I'm requesting 1/2 of my money back. I didn't asked for a tour but paid to get a great experience on the trip for the places I had visited. For the amount I paid, we had no guide, and no clue of what was happening. If it was not for the guests on the cruise this trip would have been a waste.

Embarkation

2 out of 5
No concierge as stated, no direction to room, guest services was unreachable and waited several hours in line before getting help.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
You must go online to the HUB to receive any and all information regarding specialty restaurants. The free specialty restaurant serve the same food as the buffets. No need to book unless you just want the experience of eating at the diner, which could felt rushed at time.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
Did know where must of the activities were being held. Spend a lot of time walking around to familiarize myself with the ship

Entertainment

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Great Room Services.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Despite my room not being the room as described. My room was well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
Was not as originally described. I was shown a different ship room for the price I had paid. I was not happy about my room but it was not so horrible that I couldn't stay in it. Just want to be refunded 1/2 of what I paid. The room was old, the beds uncomfortable, the space for 2 was a little tight and the bathroom was smaller than expected; but once again not the room I paid for.

Ship tip

Please download the App prior to boarding the ship. Review your room again before going.

Nassau, Bahamas

Great. Mostly tourist shops and overly priced food, but overall was great. Great beach as well.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

2 out of 5
Mostly just play, shop, & eat. This is Carnival private island and you had pay for nearly everything that you wanted to do after paying for the trip.

Grand Turk Island

2 out of 5
The island look desolated. Many products over priced, the food was great.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
For priority guest disembarkation was great, and didn't take long at all.

Sorry to hear that your expectations weren’t met. Try a newer ship next time around.

I am curious as to what led you to believe you would have a "guide" on the ship.

Sounds like cruising is not your cup of tea.
