FOG!!! Delayed getting on the ship and again getting off the ship!!! NEVER AGAIN!!! This happens more often than they will admit. To get on the ship we were delayed for more than 8 hours and put into this huge room with chairs and TV's. We stayed there for hours!!! Were not offered any food or water!!! There were so many families with little children that I felt terrible for. Apparently Texas and Carnival do not know how to learn a lesson. How hard is it to make water available to everyone?? Oh, if they did that then they would have to have more than 1 bathroom available to thousands of people!!!!

Next, the ship left port 8 hours later than scheduled which was caused by "nature"! Most people on the ship didn't realize that the next day that is usually beautiful and warm was NOT because we lost 8 hours of travel time!!! Had to wear long pants and jackets!!!

The 3 excursion days were great. Beautiful weather and everyone was happy. The thing that I noticed is that carnival is losing control over their excursions. On 2 separate days an excursion came back late to the ship. When I spoke to some friends that happened to be on both excursions they said that the comment passed by both excursion leaders was "It's OK. Carnival won't leave without you!" So thousands of us who obeyed the rules and got on the ship on time were inconvenienced! And it was not the fellow cruisers fault! I blame Carnival for not emphasizing the importance to these excursion leaders and take appropriate action when they do not comply!!!! Read more
