Carnival Spirit Review

Additional details
Unfortunately we booked this room for the Carnival Spirit Alaskan July 10-17, 2012 cruise before seeing reviews about how bad this particular room was. It lived up totally to it's reputation.
I'm turning 70 but agile but my wife recently had something happen to her back and needs a walker. this set up issues all along the way.
Two things happened to set the stage to begin this cruise. First was my fault alone. I had all the paperwork for the trip in a folder and lost it on the plane in our first leg of the journey to the ship. The airline couldn't move it to our gate fast enough and we left without it. this set up the second problem. On arrival at Sea-Tac airport I approached the Carnival representative and told them of my plight. 'No problem we were told and she proceeded to make up bag tags so our luggage would be delivered to our room. Should have checked her as she wrote three different room numbers on the tags and none of them were correct.
Cabin Review
Cabin 8234 is the CABIN FROM HELL. Noise from three different directions. 1. Lido kitchen directly above and they start preparing food at 3AM. Very noisy. 2. Porter closed directly across from cabin door. Loud banging of the door all times of day and night. 3. Porter Closet and elevator for staff next to room. This is the noisiest of all with constant BANGING of the door day and night.
Room itself is nice, large, large balcony. Without the noise it would be rated a 10. with the noise it's a -10. Do everything you can, unless you are deaf, to not take this room. We were refunded $650 and 15% on another cruise becuase of the noise issue. I'd have rather had quite and paid the price.
