Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
Our cabin was clean, we were supposed to have two single beds we had one and a couch bed. My daughter suffered with her back the entire cruise because it was so hard.

Ship tip

It cost double what you pay for your tickets and I would def say don't tip on board because they take tips out anyway

Wow! Cruising is not for you or maybe you just like to complain. You choose the room, and the staff is doing their job. Shame on you for not tipping.

joeglo67. GREAT ANSWER to yet another person that doesn’t like to reward staff for their hard work. These cheap people just irritate me to no end. Love Carnival AND especially the staff!!!!

Their pay for that sailing is directly related to the end of cruise score. Unfortunately there are people who refuse to give a top score (there's room for improvement/ it's not perfect) for any reason. Removing gratuities is taking monies from their pay pool and low scores reduce their pay even further.

I don't care what cruise line you take, they all try to up sell you at every turn. They don't make hardly any money off of your ticket price, so they depend on you spending on photo's, drinks and gambling etc. And your right, the beds are hard, but all you gotta do is ask your cabin steward and they are more than happy to bring you an egg crate for your bed. You can find all the negative aspects of most any cruise ship line if you look, but you are very blessed to be able to go on a cruise, do you know there are so many people in this world who will never know that feeling.
