Review summary

4 days of cruising and more than 12 hours dealing with issues... If you go on Carnival or this ship, Good luck to you.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Paid extra for the Faster to the Fun. The room was over 3 hours late being ready, 1 piece of Luggage was 5 hours late, and the other one we had to find ourselves randomly sitting on a floor by it's self.

Service and Staff

1 out of 5

We asked for 2 buckets of ice, and never received even one... We had to fight to get our bad made into 2 twins even though even our paper work stated it should be. We never got extra towels like we asked. We were hardly ever in the room but they could only seem to clean it when we headed back from our early dinning. Not to mention we got locked out of our room twice. Both times it took 4 hours for them to fix it. Our safe broke 3 times.. so that was cool too. The 2nd time the door wouldn't let us in, the maintenance guy acted like we were worse than garbage. I guess I should also share how the WIFI was horrible.. We paid ahead of time for it, and the app didn't give us access to it, until the 3rd day and about probably 6th trip to guest services. They then charged us 4 $100 charges for the wifi back to back.. so that's cool too...

Ship Quality

I saw a few people slip on spilled drinks. We also laughed about a ham sandwich that some how made it over 8 hours on the stairs before someone picked it up.

Cabin / Stateroom

I covered most of this in the staff section. Did I mention that I'm 100% our steward just hung our dirty towels back up?

Ship tip

Just don't go... Not sure if it was just the staff or the fact that carnival just let themselves go as a company. There were several people on the trip that were on there 20+ cruise and even stated it was the worst trip they have ever taken and they will never go carnival again.

Thumbs up

Wonderful Cruise

One of the best cruises yet

Did not go out of Port Canaveral. It went out of Galveston, TX.
