Old ship with mold on the windows. Except for Guy's Burgers and the ice cream machine the other food served in the dinning room and buffet was below Carnival standards. Dinning room service was OK. However, when a bogus charge was discovered on my bill I called Customer Service and a Russian or Slavic speaking lady said she would take the charge off failed to do so, I had personally go to the Service Desk to get it properly adjusted. There were no temperature controls in our room and of course, no refrigerator or hair dryers. The hot tubs were filled with the kids. Reminded us of downtown Las Vegas in the old part. One show was quite good, but the rest of the entertainment was disappointing. In the buffet line (if you could get around the elbowing crowd) the bacon and some other edibles could only be doled out by staff members. Although we were told by our room attendant would turn down the room 6 and 9pm, when we left our room (E61) at 6:45 pm. the room was not turned down. When we requested ice for our room, it was provided in a large plastic tub. Not a proper ice receptacle. The music throughout the ship was set at a very loud level, not conducive to those who want to turn in early? The ship smelled of stale smoke. If you wanted even a mediocre environmental cruise, this is not for you. My wife compared this cruise to the paddle boat made famous in the movie "Porkey's".
