Chose this cruise for my wife as she has always wanted to see Grand Cayman. Boarding was good but that was the only thing good about it. This ship had one engine down so the ship could not cut thru the waves this made walking very rough. First 3 days it was hard just to keep your food on the table, that is if you could get service to order. First stop was supposed to be Grand Caymens but due to technical issues we would visit costa maya instead. We did not visit either of these ports as the ship did not have enough power to get into port. on the 3rd day we blew another engine so we just kind of floated around, air conditioning on and off food was bad, cold, no flavor. 4th night sewage back up all floors smelled, no water for several hours rusty water for a few more. The compensation was a $25 on board credit to spend on the ship. I felt this ship was not safe to begin with had we known about the first engine being down we would not have taken this cruise but with two engines gone it was down right scary. This was our 3rd carnival cruise each time the cruise seems to get worse, this is my last cruise with Carnival. I would not recommend Carnival to anyone it is a waste of hard earned money. When we got back to land my wife called corp. and was told there was nothing they could do. Carnival is in the customer service industry but they lack the customer service what a shame. Save your money and fly or take a different cruise line. Mind you I purchased two tickets for friends they say they wont ever cruise again.
