I went on my cruise Oct 7th 2016 with my girlfriend. Our original cruise was suppose to go to Cozumel, Mexico and Key West, FL. Hurricane Matthew came through the Bahamas on Oct 5th and our cruise was set for Oct 6th but it was canceled and pushed back for Oct 7th. We were told that we could no longer go to Mexico and would be taken to the Bahamas. Since the Bahamas was damaged due to the Hurricane, carnival was only able to take us to Key West, FL, mind you we live in Tampa, FL and could have drove to Key West. We was only given $71 back for the trip. Mind you we did not board the ship until about 9pm on Oct 7th which means we missed a full day of the 6th and 7th. So we paid $770.00 for a trip that was not worth it in the end. The ship was empty due to all the last min changes. only about 600 guest showed up for the trip. we only went because it was my 30th birthday!! The food was good and the room was okay. There was no production shows on this trip. This is my 6th cruise and expected more but made the best of the trip overall. I will use Carnival again in April only because I have already paid for the trip.

The cabin did not have a refrigerator in it but it was clean and relaxing.
