I will start this review saying that cruising is a very relaxing holiday if you take out all the embarkation and demarkation and hidden charges,

The gratuities at the end addend on last day and after you leave the ship leave a distasteful feeling towards cruising it feels a dishonest holiday 4800 people on board was just to nany when there was queues over 2 hours to get on the skybike and ropes then your paying extra for cinema which showed old films. The photos $16 each even not for printing that was to put on a stick so we refused the chance to purchace $38 per person for gratuities in a dinning room we used once that means $38 times 4 then there was added charge for use of buffet dinning room $15 each $30 kids club i could go on plus 1.5% on every drink this is after paying £700 for drinks package the charges just kept coming room service even though never used once this bar that bar our bill was at one poimt $800 of course you can have it removed but 4800 people all complaining and 1-3 people on services desk means more hours of your holiday lost they should have a system of you offering tips on your tv screen you can see what they charging so why cant you dispute it or why cant they ask what you would like to give instead of charging for places you didnt get use out of or eorst still places that the service was not up to getting a tip of such a size. And offer a booking sustem for skyride and ropes. To many people with not enough to do on this ship if its full and the bath they call a swimming pool that the water was disgusting was so full my kids where scared to go in. Needless to say carnival is yes a fun cruise and there was parts that where good but for the price there was to many bad points and to many people to be able to use any of the services.
