Review summary

We will see definitely look at other cruise lines before considering Carnival again! Terrible first experience and very disappointing overall. We hoped and paid for better!

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Ship was late, chaos ensued! Over 3 hours in line without water, food or explanation! Only offered a $15 comp... We list far more in cost than this!
