Review summary

We were a group of 7 people. Most of us had a good time. My husband and I did not because of his injuries. We feel that Carnival is responsible for his accident because of the height of the threshhold. I think Carnival owes us a cruise.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

I am disappointed in the cut back on the menu items. The MDR was SLOW and caused us to miss our shows. the Seaday Brunch in the MDR was VERY slow...

There were not as many shows as we are used to seeing. The quality of the shows we did see were not up to the standards of previous cruises

standard balcony cabin.

Ship tip

If you use a walker, beware of the threshholds in the hallways. Especially at the elevators. My husband was tripped and was tumbled onto the floor. His injuries caused him to have to stay in the cabin for trip. He was not able to enjoy our cruise.

You say carnival owes you a cruise bc he tripped but yet you posted you all had a great time walking around the different ports!? Lol It was an accident, they can happen anywhere. Just chalk it up to an accident and move it along. Who owes you all,🙄😥😥🥰🥰 if he trips at home?? Come on

Sorry that happened but if your husband uses a walker (I also do) it is especially important to always be checking the floor area.
