Review summary
First, how can any cruise to these island ports be bad! We enjoyed every day, but did have some major issues as well. This is an older ship, but well appointed and not an issue except as noted below. This was our first Carnival cruise. Will we use Carnival/Galveston again. Maybe, but will probably not be our first choice vs cruise lines/ports where we have not had these issues.
The GOOD: 1)Staff was friendly/efficient and, except as noted below, helpful. 2) Rooms were clean with good closet/storage space including a nice bathroom cabinet. 3) Bed/pillows were comfortable. 4) Food/service was good and liked inclusive omelets/ salsa/ stir-fry/hamburger stations as alternative. 5)Excursion desk was helpful when had questions. 6) Great ports
The BAD: 1)We use Room Safes for all passports/credit cards/cash. Had older safes tjat lock with a credit card or drivers license, both of which will NOT be the same number even for couples with the same account. Unless together, only one person has access and a card I want IN the safe is not. 2) Dining Time indicated when purchased was Open and preference was confirmed. On board were told that "confirmed" only our preference, but assigned 8:00pm! This time was NOT acceptable and a 10 day issue!! 3) Normally do not buy liquor on cruises. However tried some high quality Puerto Rico rum thought might not be available in US, so bought at Carnival's Duty Free Shop. At NO time were we told Texas limits to 1 gallon (my 4 liters exceeded) regardless if
