This was my first Carnival experience and I was really excited to go but was quickly disappointed. The rooms are outdated but ok but our balcony doors was smeared ,residue all over banister. My husband wiped the chairs and banister down so we could look over and sit on balcony. The restaurant food we were assigned to "The Black Pearl" food selection was good but the buffet was very limited and food ok. The burgers and pizza that was available was really good. I really was upset with the "unlimited Drink package" we paid for in advance actually has 15 drink minimum daily...really really disappointed. My husband and I work over 40+ hours a week and on our anniversary trip and to be told we are limited to drinks a day was a slap in the face. We are over 40 years old and di not display any type of disruptive behavior to be told during our 3rd day hat we are limited to a15 drinks or could not receive an extra shot or wait another 5-10 minutes to order another or different drink. Our hostess was great and the ports visited was awesome. I am not sure if we will go on Carnival cruise line again if so it will be on the brand new ship Vista or Horizon. But from the looks of it I will stay with Royal,Disney or try Norweigan.
