Carnival was amazing on Embarkation and Disembarkation!! Very quick and speedy process! However this Ship needs to be dry docked and redone! Very worn, terrible filteration system!! If you want to smell like a stale ash tray please cruise the Victory. Its one thing to smoke in the casino but from the time you walk on its a stale strong odor of cigarette. NO I am NOT hating on smokers I am just saying for those that do not smoke and even for those that do, you cant get away from it! I over heard a couple of smokers complain... The ship has potential to be really nice, like I said, it needs to be redone! New carpet, paint, CLEANED, replace furntiture in stateroom ect. The crew on this ship was WONDERFUL!! Very very helpful! However I do not like the one time a day that you see your steward especially when you pay A LOT of money for a Grand Suite. We were only serviced once a day for a tidy up. Very informative too~! I LOVE the channels that Carnival has, they have channels on the tv of information that was very informative and I found helpful. Lisa the Cruise Director was a charm...very nice and sweet and a lot of FUN and you do have FUN on Carnival..this was my first Carnival cruise..The Food....UMMMMM....NO ....not good!!! Sorry but it was Awful~! However I loved the Park West Art Auction...wow that was nice...and I love the Art that I purchased, Daniel and his people were amazing and very informative and helpful. I give them a 5 star~! Entertainment great!
Our Steward Henkey was amazing! Very nice and helpful! This review does not apply to him, I am simply speaking on the SHIP STATEROOM...great space but dingy Stale smell, needs carpet replaced, the cabinets are old and worn, shower door wouldnt stay shut, tv remote would not work properly, beds were old, smell of cigerette would come through our air vent, it was not good...linens were stale smelling, the furniture chairs were very stained and old ...was it worth the upgrade? Not really....The ship just needs to be redone thats a great big system to suck up all that smoke
Port Canaveral is a great Port...
