Review summary

Frankie the cruise director was rude and not entertaining at all. I always feel a cruise director can make it break a ship. I'm glad i was with many friends. We had our own fun. I actually spent more time in my room than I ever had on any ostr cruise due to the lack of activities.

Had to have maintenance in our room 3 times because our shower wouldn't drain

Ship tip

If your first cruise is on this ship you might want to give cruising a second chance. There are a lot if other ships that have plenty more activities on board.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

This is an old ship. It's nice but old . It was my very first cruise ever back in 2006. I have been on one other carnival which was breeze back in 2014. We hated it. Will only cruise on royal from now on
