I would never cruise on Carnival again. The cruise team was very friendly but there were some very drunk unruly passengers with a blow up doll. There is nothing more obnoxious than a bunch of uncontrolled drunk women. They would bang on people's doors in the middle of the night and thought it was funny. But worse than that was the coffee and tea. I even complained to the captain when he made the rounds at dinner one night. HE said they had to use that much chlorine to make the water safe. If I wanted a better cup of coffee I had to go to their gourmet coffee shop and pay a small fortune. The coffee and Tea were absolutely horrible. It all tasted like chlorine. The captain's answer to me was to put more lemon in the. Really? They never heard of water filters? The even shows for entertainment were really bad also. I have seen better entertainment at my local dinner theatre. Very campy and truly awful. I only went once. The formal dinners were much better but again, the drinks were terrible. The hamburgers, hotdogs, and lunch fair were very below average and I was very disappointed at the quality of the food. Again, the water, tea, coffee, and even lemonade were made out of that horrible water. Very mediocre food. Also, our cruise director was named Tina. I called her Talking Tina because she never shut up. She talked in our cabins, morning in night no matter where we were, we had to listen to her. Shut Up!! There was a twilight zone episode where there was a killer doll named Tina with Telly Savales in the show. Twilight Zone was where I got talking Tina from. The entire cruise line is geared toward making money. Anything extra you want to do costs money. Play Bingo? Fork over $10 per card. They are constantly announcing sales at their stores.. for only 2 hours.. the gift shop on such and such a deck everything is only $10.. that means absolutely everything in the shop is only $10. That is for clutches, scarves, and cheap watches. Well, guess what? The price is ALWAYS $10 for everything. They try to sucker you in to buying jewelry.. they have a drawing for some free jewelry. I am not kidding you the entire cruise is geared toward hooking you in to buy something. I was so unimpressed with Cozumel also. I am sorry

folks, but those people are not our friends. They will try to cheat you

at every corner. DO not buy anything down there. And if you do , never

Cabin Review

Noisy rooms with drunks roaming the halls at night. Light comes under the doors.
