Happy & Crappy

Carnival cruise review...I've never written a review of services rendered in a letter like this but no prompt has given me a script review to answer so I'll write my own review.

        This 5 day cruise was our second attempt at having a 4-sibling reunion. We evaluated daily as we met for our evening meal. In general we thought the cruise went well and each of us found plenty to keep us entertained. We took in the casinos, extra restaurants, stage shows and shore excursions. We didn't take any of the planned excursions as several from our groups had health problems that limited activities. The food was good, the shows were spectacular and the service excellent!

...A few complaints would be having to pay for so many extras that were in the past part of our cruise cost. No.1 Extra cost for specialty food items such as NY strip & lobster. No.2 Special sale promotions were not the quality you use to sell. No.3 Picture selections were wonderful...IF YOU COULD FIND THEM! Our brother & his wife paid for a picture but when they got home to check it out the picture was not in the folder! There has to be a better way of locating one's pictures. Last but least the poor departure plan you have for exiting disabled patrons. Entering the ship one was ramped up but for the departure there was one small elevator that would take us down that could not handle the volume. More assistance is needed for pushing disabled wheelchairs. Your volume of patrons are older & using all means of wheeled conveyances and the slow exiting was fatiguing.  Some folks sat for hours waiting for someone to push them to elevator. 

       Hope this evaluation will be taken in the way it was written...a true evaluation from folks who have taken prior cruises to be able to compare.
