Review summary

We are diamond members on Royal and Pearl on Disney. This was my second carnival cruise and truly can not figure out how they stay in business. The dinning was the absolute worst I have ever seen. Prisoners have more options than carnival. How can you not have bacon at breakfast. Who eats baked beans for breakfast? Why is you dinning only open 12 - 230, and only on at sea days? Why can't I order a soda and a cocktail at the same time? Hoe c9me I can't use my drink package for water and Gatorade at when exiting the ship for port. Why does it take 28 minutes to get a cocktail after ordering? Why is your white night on casual night? Why wont you let me take photos of my friends and family at you photo areas. Why cant i order a milkshake and Gatorade at thr same time? Guys burger joint was awesome though. Wish it was open for dinner. The only advise I can give is don't book carnival. It's not cheaper, it just worse.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

The main dining room service was so bad after the 2nd night we had to book all specialty dining for the remainder of the cruise and got back our prepaid gratuity for the worst service ever.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

Weird trivia that didn't make sense. A comedian that most relevant joke was in the 60's.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

I think they had one, but don't know because they never spoke or promoted it

Service and Staff

1 out of 5

The staff was unfriendly, unhelpful, and in some cases down right rude and disrespectful.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

The entire ship looks sterile, or like.a hospital. White walls with metal.bars across lengthwise. The entire ship looks like backstage.
