CARNIVAL WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO YOU!!!! With all the troubles carnival has had I would of thought they would go over and above to make their ships wonderful!!! Well they missed the mark!!! The food was HORRIBLE! Almost uneatable. Pasta hard, veggies undercooked, lobster chewey and could never get a cup of coffee. The DJ's were loud and off tune. The singer at the piano lounge couldn't seem to carry a tune. The room service, the bread was stale, and the assortment of cookies was 3 choc chip cookies (probably from a package). The ship was recently refurbished, but it doesn't look like it. Hard to manuver and looks old. The casino and attached sitting area smells of stale cigarettes!!! The only place you can get food after 11:00 p.m. is the pizza bar (long line) or room service (yunk)! Breakfast buffet was wonderful, but they have someone giving you bacon (2 pieces at a time). When you ask for more they give u 2 more pieces. Back to the food, the soups all tasted like a chicken broth soup. Just broth, no fixings. Our bread was doughy, sent it back 3x. The prime rib was thin and hard to cut and chew. This definately is not cruise food ! Definately no steel drum band, just LOUD DJ'S. The entertainment was less than entertaining. Very poor quality. I would not recommend Carnival - they have gone WAY DOWN HILL!!!
Long walk from everywhere on the ship!!!! Extended balcony, but absolutely NO BREEZE. Stale air. It's just not worth the extra $500. Really with the tinted glass slanted inward the view isn't panoramic. I would have preferred a balcony on the side of the ship. Well lesson learned. if the water is a little rough, you really feel the rolling in this room.
