This was my 4th cruise and my 2nd with Carnival. All I have to say was this cruise was quite a let down. I was looking forward to this vacation for quite a few months and was very disappointed to what I experienced.

Embarkation was a nightmare. My family's luggage was lost 2 or 3 times and the air conditioning was broken in the terminal, and it was about 100 degrees. Everyone was miserable and security was very impatient. It took us about 2 and a half hours to get from the bus to the ship.

The food in the Posh dining room was just average, nothing more. Every time I ordered meat, it was very dry and needed to be sent back at least twice. After the 5th night I just stuck with the pasta or vegetarian dishes. Presentation was also messy. The food in the Freedom Restaurant wasn't much better. Often times it was cold and anything that could be hard and or crunchy, was just that. My diet on the ship consisted of omelettes, pasta, and sandwiches.

Cabin Review

The cabin was in a nice location, perfect distance from the lifts. Our neighbors were a little noisy though. The bathroom was decent and the cabin, spacious. The balcony was adequate, could have been a little bigger. It was a nice room overall.
