This was my 5th cruise.  3rd time on Carnival and it goes more down hill with every cruise; is it because the type of people traveling don't expect better service?  Please leave the clodhoppers at home.  Baseball hats, jeans, short shorts, Harley Davidson T-shirts and any other T-shirts do not belong in the formal dining room!!!!! The cruise started off with an exceptional boarding time.  We were on the Lido Deck by 12:30.  The first shock was seeing a guy in clodhoppers and one of the girls he was with had her legs spread wide open while wearing a skimpy loose fitting bathing suit!  You almost got a full front view.  YIKES!  Come on people!!!!!The cabin was typical, however there was no soap at the sink and even after asking for it never got it.  The shampoo/soap in the shower was not marked with identification so who knew which was which.Food in the main dining room was sub par.  Only one night did I really enjoy the main entree.  At breakfast in the main dining room the pancakes were cold and hard, table service lacking in quality. The Cruise Director was lacking.  There was a noticeable lack of pool games and such.  We use to come home with alot of "ship's on a stick".  The change in itinerary was a bust. Freeport cannot compare to Grand Turk and Caicos.  Half Moon Cay was very beautifull and relaxing, best day weather wise. The BBQ buffet was great, except the hamburg and chicken were cold. Other than that we had a great time because we set out to have fun.  Even though the weather wasn't the best we made the most of it. I also have to say the debarkation was terrific.  In past years the place was hectic with people trying to get down to the 3rd floor.  You couldn't get an elevator, you couldn't move and then your luggage was dumped in piles in the a warehouse.  Kudos to Carnival for that improvement.

Cabin Review

Room was as expected. Asked for soap for the sink, never got it. Soap/shampoo not identified in shower. On one ship we had glass shelves on each side of the sink for our toiletries this ship did not have them and it was inconvenient. Carpet and walls noticeably dirty. Hallway noisy with crew space being 2 doors down.
