Nobody warned us about the pool deck being so hot you couldn't walk on it without shoes. Grandson burnt his feet just walking from a chair to the pool area. The food was horrible at the dinner. Steaks were really tuff and overcooked always. I know that our table ordered a lot of food, but we did have growing boys. Our grandson got some type of but bites in bed the night before we left and had to go to see the doctor on board. They gave him some cream to put on the bites. but he still he had to ride home from the cruise to Nashville. The entertainment has gone hill considerably from other years that we have cruised on Carnival. As far as the staff,. our room person was so nice. Never saw the matre 'de and because our boys ordered allot of food our servers rolled their eyes every night. Thinking that Carnival might be off my list for my next cruise. Have cruised at least times or more and living in Florida makes it easy to cruise every year. Biest part of the cruise was having rooms that connected with my son and grandson. It was his first cruise and we had a baloney with connecting rooms. Best ever/ wish the rest of the cruise was the sam.
