Review summary

Save your money. Avoid at all cost. Worst vacation ever

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Pure chaos

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

The food on this ship was pure slop. There was not one thing we were served that was edible. Carnival should be ashamed for serving this food to humans.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

The pools were overflowing with drunk people pretty much the entire cruise.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The comedians were great everything else was subpar.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

The waiters and stewards were exceptional. The bartenders were rude and did not put alcohol in the Cheers package drinks. The Cheers package was a complete scam. When you did order one of your so-called endless drink it took at least 45 minutes to receive it. Endless if you don’t mind waiting up to an hour and a half for it.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

The ship was old and dirty.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

The room size was fine however it was filthy.

Ship tip

Don’t take this cruise. They advertise a “deal” to get you on the boat in order to scam you out of money. It is one big tourist trap. Carnival is very dishonest and I felt like a huge dollar sign to them rather than a guest. I will never travel with Carnival again and I highly suggest you don’t either unless they change their business model for pure unadulterated greed to something that at least slightly resembles concern for their customers.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

The port is chaotic and disorganized.

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5

The port is owned by Carnival so we had to endure their unadulterated greed there as well. Cozumel was nice but we experienced the same greed mongering from the locals. It was very disheartening.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

The worst experience ever. It was complete chaos on Carnival’s behalf. You would think that as long as they have been doing this they would have figured out a better system. It was a complete and utter mess.
