Review summary

The cruise was all the we expected. I spent last two nights and last night quarantined to cabin due to contracting norovirus. Received no compensation. My husband got sick shortly after we arrived home. After further research on sanitation ratings, may not sail with Carnival again.

Designed and maintained well. Appeared clean. Obviously lacking in cleanliness, as both my husband and I contracted NoroVirus.

No compensation for getting sick. That's not the ship's fault.
