This Caribbean cruise to St-Maarten, St. Kitts, Puerto Rico and Grand Turk was my fourth cruise on Carnival. After being on other ships, I was looking forward to Carnival.
This was the worst of the 8 cruises I have taken. Here is what happened.
1. The internet was terrible. I purchased the top, premium package for the cruise. While the speed was good for satellite, Outlook emails were blocked. My Outlook Web Mail, Hotmail and Yahoo did not work. I had to create a Gmail account and direct all my clients to send their emails to this temporary address.
I was on Deck 2. Except for a lack of plugs, the room was fine. It was more comfortable than other cruise lines. The windows were dirty and were never cleaned. I assume this was another cost-cutting recommendation. Carnival may have saved money but one could not take pictures out of the window.
There were delays in getting onboard. Security allowed people to bring liquids in bottles or cans but not plastic bottles. See the main review for details on getting luggage delivered to the room
