It started on the first evening at the formal dining hall. I ordered the turf and surf at a $20 add on price. The Steak was the size of a hard boiled egg and the lobster 1/2 tail tasted like it was cooked for the 5:15 seating and was served to me at the 8:15 seating. Mushy and tasteless at best. I paid $2350 for a suite with a balcony and other then the 2 bottles of water they originally give you, they charge you $3.75 for additional bottles of water. I hooked up with their internet for $17 a day and it was worse then the AOL phone hookups from the early 70's. I upgraded to the $25 package and it was very much like the $17 dollar package. It took 3 to 4 minutes for a picture to download. U tube videos stopped ever 10 or 15 seconds to buffer. My friend's wife was hurt in an accident and required the use of a wheelchair. Of course they rent them out. I had the feeling that their hand was in my pocket during the whole trip. I have never been nickel dimed like this ever before. I, for one will never go on another Carnival ship again. Anything is better then this.

In addition I believe they were operating the dining room with a skeleton crew. We had 1 waiter waiting on our entire table. Everything was slow and when you needed something you were out of luck. Maybe it's the Corp bottom line that's most important to them..
