Had a wonderful time on the cruise except for the snapfu with my Cozumel excursion. Next time I will just book my excursions with Carnival and possibly my cruise since I Carnival has pretty descent prices if booked far enough in advance.

The ship's layout was great but some of the common areas by the pool smelled pretty foul but other than that, the ship was great!

Ship tip

Gratuities are forced on you at the end whether you like it or not and I get that. What I didn't know is if you liked a certain service (ie.. housekeeping) you can give your gratuities to that certain person or service in general. All you have to do is go to guest services the day before you depart and let them know by name who you want to give your gratuities to.

My original excursion that I purchased through priceline was discontinued when I arrived. I was very irrate and disappointed. I didn't want to ruin our vacation so I purchased another excursion with the same tour group and paid another $160. I had a good time but wished I would have gotten notified prior to my departure so I could pick an excursion that I actually would have enjoyed more.
