Review summary
Ship has major issues from maintenance, staffing, and normal day to day functions. The chat feature on failed to work on several days, food was not good quality and usually cold, service was not good in most areas, and most disturbing known maintenance issues that Carnival has not addressed. The fact that the engine issues existed on prior cruises with other sailings missing ports and have late returns, should have been shared prior to the departure. Very distappointing when this is your family vacation for the year.Embarkation

Ship tip
Ship has maintenance issues which Carnival has known for some time. One port was cancelled and the ship was late on returning to Galveston. This did not deter Carnival. They were loading the ship and setting out for another cruise knowing they had engine issues. This is very disappointing and boarderline unethical.
