Let me start this out by saying we've been on numerous Carnival vacations and this was most likely our last. The quality of food, the entertainment, and the smell of sewage was the last straw. Oh yea, did I say we selected this cruise because of the itinary which included Dominica, Grand Turk, Curaso, and Aruba. Because of the hurricane near Bermuda the Captain decided that we wern't going to Dominica. Instead of adding another port visit, they added a couple hours to two of our other ports, refunded $14 in port taxes, and called it a day. If I knew Dominica wasn't part of the trip, we would have cancelled the trip. I know, it's a gamble to travel during hurricane season, but I thought if they cancelled one port, they would add another. Guess I was wrong!

The embarkation and Debarkation went really smooth. The Cruise Director was one of the best I've ever seen (Matt). The crew, even though it was obvious they were cut in about half, kept a smile on their faces and did a great job. My hats off to all of them. Other obvious cuts were the food. This was the worst food ever! They offer pay steak and italian fare, but we shouldn't have to pay for the upgrade to get a good meal. I ordered a whole lobster from the main dining room ($20) and it was HORRIBLE. Freezer burnt, salty, soggy, no taste, etc. Never again! For a new ship, this was a major disappointment when it came to the port visit mess up. After 12+ cruises, it's time to say - Good bye Carnival. I'll spend a few more bucks and give RCC a try.

Average. Food was about the worst we've ever had on a cruise ship. You can really tell what was given up to "discount" the cruises on Carnival. Bed wasn't very comfortable, and balcony seemed smaller than normal, but it was ok.
