Yes, you read it right. We was on the Christmas cruise this week and asked if we could get off in St. Thomas and they said yes. They refunded unused portion of cruise and they flew us back to Orlando. I know what people say about one persons opinion, but everyone I spoke to on the cruise were just as unhappy. This was my 5th cruise on Carnival so I know what they are about, but they just don't get it on this one.

First off let me say, if you are thinking of getting a spa cabin, don't waist your money. You can buy it when you get on and so many people did just that. We were told when we went on the spa tour that they would sell only 40 extra spa passes to passengers that didn't have access. Now having said that, they have went above and beyond with the spa. It is wonderful, until they sold so many day and week passes that yo could not enjoy any of it. The food was good, when you could get it. All you've read about the lines are true. I went on board knowing what I've read on here about lines, and they are true. The worst thing was they have other lines in the gathering, (that what it's called) but knowing it would be crowded like when you get back on board from island first thing you do is go eat, most of the time, went back there and 2 lines open and 3800 people trying to eat, not going to work. Pizza is good, when you could get it. Poor guy worked in there by himself and he couldn't keep up.

And if you have a cabin on the 12th floor, kids running all day on the floor above back and fourth to the slide. If you wanted some quite time in your room during day, forget it. The design of the ship, they were not thinking. On lido were you line up for burgers and dogs the mens restroom is right there and you had to walk thru the line to get in and out.
