Review summary

Not impressed. I would have thought when I asked customer service where I could get something for my ankle because I fell when I was getting on the ship that they would not have charged for a cheap ankle brace.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
I fell getting on board and twisted my ankle. Made my whole trip painful because I sprained it.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Guys burgers was amazing! The pizza was really good, but the main dining and the buffet choices lacked in my opinion.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
We went to One Step each night, but because I sprained my ankle on embarkation, it was far from the experience I had hoped for. We saw the two comedians early shows, they were really great.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5
Our waiters we're great. But I saw a couple of staff in the buffet area who were less than happy to help, but they were the exception to the rule.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
I think I just looked my first cruise better because the shop was bigger (the Conquest).

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was a bit smaller than the one from my last cruise.

Ship tip

Choose a different ship. I heard several different groups talking about how this was one of the worst they'd been on. One even commented everyone they talked to work a red sign and sail card or higher we're disappointed.

I am cruising later this month and will not buy carnivals insurance again! We was in the area hit by Harvey and could not cancel without having a document saying our home was unlivable. We lost a roof and the foundation was damaged. So from now on we are going third party insurance provided.

Every cruise my family and my friends I book thought Carnival I add the insurance to all bookings. And do all their fun passes

hairyfeller1963, something you might consider: you can get far better insurance coverage for far less money by purchasing outside of the cruiseline. We have always purchased independently of Carnival, (most always with CFAR benefits); have never had problems with getting claims paid with any of them.

Sissy7577, was that Carnival, or trip insurance purchased through Carnival? Just curious; if it was just Carnival, they must have been responsible for her fall in some way.

That is why you purchase the insurance for travel plan. It's nice to know that you have some kind of insurance . If they Break your suitcase they also replace your suitcase. If you have a medical problem you that I'm supposed to be meta-flighted off the ship it also covers that.

My emergency kit is growing all the time! We have a couple of braces and an ace bandage we'll now take. Better safe than sorry and at least we're not flying.

You get hurt on land and you pay for your medical bill why not at sea or in port. File a claim with your insurance! Be thankful they had medical onboard to help you. Second this is the reason I carry a small first aid kit with me. I have the stuff I could have wrapped your ankle! Just my thoughts. Be Prepared
