Review summary
Room Service - Excellent
Resturant Service - Excellent
Disinfectant of ship - Poor
Our sail date was set to sail on Monday 1/23 but got delayed till Tuesday 1/24. This was a added expense along with trying to find a hotel with avaliabilty. From the beginning the ride was rough with motion sickness settling in on day one. In fact all motion sickness pills, drops and wrist bands were sold out on the ship. A core group of us ( 10 ) were meeting with 240 other passengers as part of a Christian Gathering . On day 2 flu symptoms began settling in on 8 of our core group along with many others that we came across. There were times that it smelled as if the room has just been painted with a strong odor. This was our second time cruising with Carnival and was not a great experience especially when a group of us are spending a majority of our trip in our rooms with sickness. Now that we have arrived back home with a trip to the doctor, the diagnosis have returned as the flu. Carnival has to do a better job on Sanitizing their ships to give the customers satisfaction.
