Review summary

Never cruising again. First off the staff wasn't the friendliest...except for our cabin steward. He was awesome! The horizon waiters were pushy and we seemed rushed through dinner. Formal night was nothing more than a night to dress up. There were no beautiful carved fruit and veggie displays, I didn't see an ice sculpture except for the one they used as a demo. Debarkation was chaos!! They tell you they will call your desk at8 yet you are supposed to be out of your room at 8 so they can clean the cabins for the next group. So where do th pu go with all your luggage? They didnt mention that. Most important reason NOT to cruise Carnival is their emergency contact number is a joke. Our 5 month pregnanat daughter fell and went to the hospital for observation. She tried calling the ship for four days many times a day and it always said there was "maintenance". I called when we were back in shore and had the same messge. Rediculous....never again Carnival...never again!

Our cabin steward waa great but the horizon staff was pushy though dinner. Felt rush and not relaxed.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
Hard to get from one end to the other. Coffee and drinks only on the back end. Nothing up front. No trash cans by elevators so you had to carry it with you. No non-smoking area in the casino.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Clean, comfortable and roomy for a cabin.

They don’t have a non smoking area in the casino. You should have researched that before you went on a cruise

Sounds like maybe cruising isn’t for you or maybe you are feeling guilty you went on a cruise while your daughter was pregnant and something happened?

You are never cruising again or never cruising Carnival? Try Royal Carribean. They may be suitable for you. The prices are comparable to Carnival and the service a tad better. Give it a shout.

You usually put your luggage out the night before unless you decide your doing early debarkation. In that case your stuck with it. Hope your daughter is ok.
