This being my first cruise I was not exactly sure what to expect. Sure I had done my research but none of my research prepared me for how windy it was and how big the waves really were. We ended up missing a port due to weather. While I appreciate Carnival refunding the port fees and taxes it would have been nice for them to do a little something more. A whole ship full of people were highly disappointed and a refund of $13 doesn't really make up for it. Yes the weather was bad but we were also told a thruster had gone down and that aided in our inability to make it to Honduras. I have nothing bad to stay about the staff. Everyone was friendly and the ship was kept tiding and clean. We were very thankful we had a room on the lowest level. The waves for the last 4 days of the cruise were very intense. We saved money by not having to drink since the waves made us feel drunk. Do wish they would change us the food in the buffet. If you don't want a burger from Guy's or a burrito from Blue Iguana you were stuck eating the same food for lunch everyday.
I will definitely go on another carnival cruise. Maybe not in February but I will do another.
Loved our room. Quiet and still close to the elevator. We loved the huge picture window. It was fun to watch the waves crash over the boat through the window. The 3 closets came in handy. Two girls for Four suit cases and we still had room. Worth the extra money to get an ocean view room.
