Review summary

Avoid eating at buffet lines. No one monitoring hand sanitizer use as they do on Princess Cruises. Many people just reaching for food with bare hands. Many food containers empty when I reached them, had to ask for them to be refilled. Did not seem to have enough staff to bus tables. Also had 2 sour milks. Food seems to have gone downhill. Better in dining room.

The cabin was fine, where it was, was not. Could hear music from 9 floors down in lobby every night also cabin was near stewards closet and heard them in and out at all hours, would not recommend this location.

What makes it gross that "Indian folks" were grabbing with bare hands? It is unsanitary for anyone to do this.

Sounds like food is slipping at Carnival at least at the buffet.  Did you take any shore excursions?
