Never again!! This was our second cruise on this ship, our first time was amazing!! Those that took care of our room were awesome, any time we left our room they went right in and straightened it up and I mean every time wether it was 4 times a day or ten!! We made sure we tipped them each very well in cash in addition to the tips we paid ahead of time apon booking out cruise. This this time once a day and then once in the evening to turn down your bed so if you showered more than once a day you were stuck with dirty wet towels!! THEY got not cash tip trust me!! The lido deck where all the buffett style dinning is located was open 24/7 our first cruise not this time ( yet the adverise 24/7) this time only open 1 and a half hours for each meal and there is no way they have enough seating or trays to feed over 2000 guest in that amount of time so the lines were endlessly long tables were not cleared between people eating at them because they didn't have the staff, when it was open 24/7 you didn't have this mass herding of people and you could sit down at a clean table and enjoy eating!!! We ordered room service one evening husband ordered a beef tenderlion sandwhich can the tenderlion was NEVER cooked completly raw not rare raw!!!!! They don't enforse any of their own rules people who had young kids with them from like ages 3 to 12 were in the casino/bar because the parents wanted to drink and party yet many signs saying NO ONE UNDER THE AGE OF 18 IN THE CASINO OR BARS!!! The main dinning room food was good not great and for get about any dress code being enforced you had those couples that were dressed up very nice ( which is the dinning rooms dress code) to those in flip flops tank tops bathing suits etc..... Carnival has lost us for sure never again!!
Oh also trying to get a drink was like pulling teeth, we went to a hour long show within 5 min of it starting a waiter came and took our drink orders 5 min before the show ended he shows back up with them!!! I also felt that when ordering drinks with the waiters instead of going right to the bar to get them that they seemed to have little to no alcohol in them over heard others saying the same thing, later on ran into a couple saying the same thing and that they could prove there was NO alcohol they had test strips similar to those you use to test pool chemiclas these just detected alcohol ( you can purchase these on line) and guess what any time we ordered mixed drinks where we were not right at the barwatching them mix the drinks they tested negitive for any alcohol!!!!
Had this last cruise been like our first one we would have booked another before we ever left the boat however it wasn't even in the same ball party so were booking with another cruise line.
