First and foremost, let me tell you how AMAZING the crew on the Carnival Ship was. They were soo unbelievably nice. They did everything they could to make sure you had what you needed, and that you were happy. I've never met so many nice people in my life. Especially Merot, who worked with our room. He made sure that we had EVERYTHING we needed. He was super sweet.

Now, let me get to the point. For all the people reading this out there, PLEASE. I beg you to save your money. I heard that the other cruises were SO much better than what I dealt with. First, the food was HORRIBLE. It wasn't the chef's fault. It's carnival's. They choose really CHEAP frozen, microwavable food. It was so nasty, every time our friends would smell the food, we would get sick. My friend got sick, and slept the entire time. Again, it's not the chef's fault. Carnival has went down and is so cheap anymore. It's true, you get what you pay for. The food was so nasty, the hamburger's weren't even real meat. I could have went to Mcdonald's for better food.

There wasn't much to do on the ship. Just the club, and the bars. No good music, or bands, nothing. No events, nothing for anyone to do. You don't even have to wear nice dresses to the dinners anymore. And let me tell you about the dinner. I spent $30 for dinner that i did not eat. The mashed potatoes were so nasty and tasted like boxed food. The chicken was nasty too. We all wasted our money and will choose a different cruise line next time. Worst experience ever. Waste of my money. But hey, you're on a boat, on the ocean... and the crew is super sweet. You decide for yourself, and you will see.

Somebody needs to give Merot a raise. He's the only reason i would ever come back. Your ship crew is really sweet and caring. They care so much about your stay there. I want to thank him for caring so much for us, and getting us everything we needed. All your guys crew deserve an applause because they were so very sweet and kind. I cannot express that enough. If anyone that is above everybody on Carnival, please take what i am saying into consideration and make the food and stay better other than just customer service. Thank you.
