This cabin should not be used as a cabin it is best used a a supply cabin VERY VERY noisey cabin the first 3 nights we got NO SLEEP from the constant noise coming from the deck above us It was caused by the chairs on the above deck then on the 4th day a surprise concert that went until 230am them almost 2hour delay leaving Puerto Rico with no message WHY. WE ARRIVED LATE AT ALL PORTS missed events paid for It was a Cruise from hell and I will not be doing another one from Carnival

We have had better luck booking directly with Carnival. We were able to get any updates direct. We can make changes without checking thru an angency...We always had a large pick of rooms.

I think it's always better to book your cruise directly with the cruise line. Do your research and check deck plans before deciding what cabin you want. Also check the ports you are going too. They usually have any excursions available listed on their web site. Don't expect that because someone is doing all the work for you that you are getting a deal! You are the one paying for it so you should be able to make the decisions on your cabin location. I believe that these so called companies like BJs, get blocks of cabins that they have to sell and don't really have much of a selection. Research, research and speak up!

Don't give up on Carnival. Try the Breeze or Vista and you'll think you're on Royal Caribbean.

Nothing went wrong, their expectations were too high and they just need something to complain about.
