Poor value for money---Carnival needs to improve their quality of food, service and cleanliness. I have been on other cruise lines and this one is not worth the money.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
The ship was not well maintained--shattered glass on door by pool area--bathrooms had a urine smell---upholstery was stained on chairs (disgusting) and dirty carpets in main areas

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
The cabin had ripped vinyl curtains and damaged furniture--I asked for the curtains and table to be replaced ---The steward was nice enough to replace them, but the replacement curtains were still ripped--Furniture had damage to wood and needed repair

Ship tip

Don't waste your money--Other cruise lines are better for the money. Poor value for price.

Good port--All amenities--swim up pool, shops, etc

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

4 out of 5
Long lines getting back to tender

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
VERY EXPENSIVE for Atlantis shore excursion--was NOT given lunch although I paid $230 dollars and no one at resort had any idea what I was talking about----Food stand at Atlantis would not except cash and my child wanted something to drink and eat--Had to give a women money she could charge it to room or credit card--Excursion desk was closed for duration of cruise so could not get refund---

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Carried my own luggage off so I wouldnt have to wait in designated areas for long.
