I wrote an honest critical review from my viewpoint as a non-Cruiser about this same ship the week after your cruise. Cleanliness was never a problem. This ship was spotless and being cleaned all the time. They even warned us about cleaning our own balcony half way thru the cruise, so it is cleaned all the time. Like I said, I am no defender of Cruis ships, but they are blamed for covid probably way more then they should be. Covid's average incubation period is 5.6 days before you see symptoms. It is very rare they show after 48hrs, yet most afflicted insist they fall into this rarity. The fact of the matter is it is a sneaky little bugger and you can catch it anywhere. If you did catch on a ship, it probably wouldn't present until you are home.

I find this so hard to believe. Carnival’s newest ship was filthy!? I seriously doubt it. Even on one of the older ships, Carnival Legend, I felt everything was very clean during this same week of cruising.

Did you report your issues? I can’t see Carnival not accommodating, if there were issues. As for Covid. We can’t blame that on cruising it the gamble we take when traveling. Wishing your family a speedy recovery.

We were on the Mardi gras twice and never saw any mold. Staff was always cleaning.
