This cruise actually took place on 11/14/04. We waited this long to post a review because we gave Carnival a chance to reply to our letter of complaint. However, since Carnival demonstrated their complete lack of good customer relations and the low class they are known for we decided to post as a warning to future Carnival passengers (or should we say victims).
We have just returned from the most horrible trip on the Carnival Victory (11/14/04 sailing). This was our ninth cruise, but first and definitely last with Carnival. It started with having to endure a three-hour wait with two small children through three different lines during embarkation (the worst embarkation process we ever saw).
One of the reasons we went on this ship was for our children to enjoy the water slide. Out of the seven days the water slide only ran for two and a half days. The first two days the weather was windy and the ocean was rough so we completely understood, however the balance of the trip the weather was perfect. We, as well as other disgruntled passengers called the purser's desk to find out what was going on only to receive different answers, none of which sounded legitimate. No one we asked could give us a straight answer.
