Service and Staff
1 out of 5
Samsul our room steward is great. He received my requests prior to landing on the ship (bedding, extra towels, bottled water, etc).
*****The infirmary/Medical Staff***** Went to them due to me not feeling well on day 3. This "nurse" (and I do use that term loosely) had no idea what was going on or what to do. She kept asking me what food poisoning was so I kept giving her the definition of it. She kept getting mad and I sat there. Finally after a few minutes of us going back and forth I asked if she wanted to know what my symptoms were and she replied yes that's what she was saying. Umm, no it was not. I never saw a "Doctor" and this lady quarantined me to my room. Dish why have is why would they do that? Why would they not let me wander around the ship eat what I want to do what I want to. I was quarantine to my room where my family was so they got sick and passed it around as well.
Ship Quality

This ship is dirty and you WILL contract the norovirus!!!! Now according to Carnival's Facebook page other people that have sailed 2-3 weeks prior to me have complained of this so Carnival is well aware they have an issue and they don't care.
Cabin / Stateroom

Being sick and stuck in the room, it could have been a lot better.
Ship tip
Better get trip insurance!!!! You are 98% sure to become ill onboard this ship.
Was not allowed off the ship. With that being said I 100% had no intentions of getting off in Belize prior to even cruising.
***KNOW BEFORE YOU GO***
According to the US State Department and there travel advisory "LGBT tourist could possibly be detained and jailed for entering their country..... however this has not been enforced". Who's to say when and how this could be enforced. I am well aware of what countries I can freely go to and be myself and was well aware this was one country I cannot go to. My family is the one the decided to go on the cruise. My family is the one that decided where they wanted to go. At the last minute I was invited. My family does not know about restrictions nor do they care.
I was on the same sailing. Many many people ended up very sick and I guess this has been going on for several sailings before ours so to those that have all the negative things to say, how would you feel knowing that the crew and cruise line knew about the issues on the ship and lied and did nothing to prevent others from getting sick?? I think it's a bunch of BS! We pay a lot of money to cruise. We deserve better! And they should do better!!
Really sucks that you got sick but sort of a harsh review. I’m honestly glad they did quarantine you to your room. Sounds like they are doing a great job trying to protect the masses.
Several on our sailing also contacted something. Many had to go to the infirmary and carnival has been notified by many people including people on the sailing before us. They are well aware of the situation. So sorry this happened to you.
