Review summary
Overall cruise was excellent/fun. Staff on point; however, it seems guests and “nickeled and dimed” more than ever. Things that used to be inclusive is not. -Improve the internet/wifi PLEASE! The cost is RIDICULOUS to purchase for such POOR service/speed. Forget streaming a movie or sporting event. It takes FOREVER for it to load and buffers too much. I would love a refund. Carnival really should be ashamed of themselves for charging for such POOR service. It simply SUCKS! I’m referring to their “Premium” service too. -TV, Movie selection and sporting channels very limited and not the best. There are times when you want to sit in your stateroom, relax, watch a good movie and order room service. Unfortunately, the channels were NOT the best. There were about 8 channels—TCM, HGTV, Discovery, CBS News, and a couple others. The On Demand movie selection was AWFUL and for kids. With the poor internet/WiFi service, you couldn’t stream a movie without it buffering 99 times and taking too long to load. -Sports channels throughout the ship were NOT the best. The NBA playoffs were NOT AN OPTION because Carnival did not have the channel. So, my husband of 37 yrs who is a HUGE, NBA fan damn near lost his mind because he couldn’t watch the games for 7-days and could not get the updates because of the poor internet/WiFi. So, instead he played Candy Crush to calm his nerves!😂. We are still laughing about that. Overall, the cruise was great with the exceptions of the above. We loved it so that we completely forgot to review and purchase our photos (and we took some nice ones this time……my husband actually smiled). Hopefully, they are still available to purchase. Carnival is still our first choice for FUN cruises.Embarkation
