When I originally booked the trip according to Carnivals own website several different rooms were available including the inside cabin that I desired for three people. I asked the operator for that room and was told that it was not available instead he had an outside room for $30 more per person. He told me that rooms had to be sold according to coast guard regulations and that because of weight the other rooms could not be sold or occupied. Directly after reserving our room I called Carnival both of which said the rooms for 3 people were still available. I asked the Carnival operator for the two category upgrade and again was told that no rooms were available(again the website showed multiple 3 person rooms available)

Upon entering the boat we encountered several people with the T-shirts that said "Ask Me" on them none of whom seemed to know anything about the ship. I asked one young lady directions to our stateroom and was told the that it "was near the bow in the back of the boat". We laughed a bit and managed to find the room on our own. The room was nice and clean but a little on the small side. We ate in the buffet dining areas for lunch. The food was palatable but unremarkable. The evening meals were much better for the most part the food was outstanding. We were served prime rib that was bad and had a dessert that was completely frozen served.

Our trip was cut short due to weather as we wound up missing 2 ports (Belieze and Roatan) and were rewarded with a $13 refund if memory serves.(An almost identical 3 port trip was priced at $150PP under what we paid for our 4 port trip) We were given a stop in Ocho Rios which honestly had the most overpriced excursion for a zip line/tubing excursion. The excursion price was over $100 without a meal and honestly the zip lines were a joke. We also purchased a photo disk for $40 that had 14 photos all of which were very low resolution images) Our trips in he Grand Caymans (Beginners Scuba) and Cozumel (Underground River) were both very good and we felt reasonably priced.

Cabin Review

We were supposed to get a two category upgrade but did not. Our room vibrated a good bit throughhout the trip
