Review summary

The cruise when to some great places, but Carnival didn't do anything to make it any better.  The lines were long and slow for everything.  They haven't figured out how to serve their customers.  The service was bad for anything outside of the dinners and the stateroom steward.  The combination of too few bartenders and slow preparation of drinks was a bad mix at the bars.  The premium internet service I paid for was slower than 3G.  Excursions were horrible unorganized.  Breakfast was not worth going for, so we switched to the 24 hour pizza for breakfast at the end.  Lunch was not good either.  Dinner food in the dining room was usually good, but sometimes the best offering was chicken fried steak.  It was easily the worst cruise ship experience we have had.

Wow, can't believe we were on the same ship. Only time we saw lines were on Lido early morning when many were eating before their shore excursions. Never had to wait long for elevators. Loved the open spaces. We have been on 15 plus cruises and are platinum on Carnival. Life is what you make it!  Also met a lot of fun people!

Did the inaugural and it was great. Non of the above we ever experienced. My guess is, this review comes from a notorious complainer or from a Carnival competitor.
