This was the absolute worst vacation of my life. I have taken several cruises in the past and this was by far the worst ever. Room was filthy - had to call housekeeping 3 times to get it clean and point to the filth and ask for it to be cleaned. I finally just cleaned it myself. The food at the buffet was horrible, under seasoned and tasted frozen. They state they have several restaurants on this ship but in all actuality it is a huge buffet with different "stations". You have to pay $35 per person to go to the nicer dining which was pretty good. The pools are freezing with children running around with non existent supervision. The food in the main dining is terrible, lack luster and just plain awful. There are no activities for us night owls after 11pm at night, the dance club allows teens to stay in there all night, oh and there is only ONE dance club. I was thoroughly disappointed with this cruise line and will never ever consider going Carnival again.
