I just returned from this trip and it was one of the worst weeks I have ever had. The food was unacceptable and disgusting. I spent the whole week trying to find one thing that was good enough to just eat till we returned and did not find anything. Even the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were awful. The cigarette smoke from the casino seeped down throughout the boat and by the end of the cruise, my floor at the bottom was even overpowered with it. Everyone on the boat was wasted, even 12 year old children. The staff is poor and there are only 12 americans out of 900 cruise members. The rest speak poor english. The ports are so americanized that it feels like you never leave the USA. The entertainment is awful. The shows were poor and the comedy show was so vulgar for no reason.  They get you by making you think its cheap to get on the boat but we still racked up a hefty bill just with the necessities like drinking water. The free water throughout the boat is so chlorinated that you are forced to buy alcohol for approx $12 a drink or $5 water bottles. The announcements were awful and Carnival was so disorganized, nobody ever knew what was happening.
