My family and I are avid cruisers (I have taken over 12 cruises on Carnival, RCI, and NCL), and I can truly say that this was the worst cruise I have ever been on. First off, the menu in the dining room is shorter and shorter each time I cruise with Carnival, and the quality of the food has diminished. The breakfast menu is the same EVERY MORNING, the pizza is very thin, the alcoholic beverages are watery and flavorless (and pricey) and the ice cream is extremely watery. Ultimately, there is not much variety of food, as I felt as though I was eating the same thing for 4 straight days. The entertainment was very disorganized and outdated, the same shows that were playing 10 years ago are still running today. In the bingo session, they no longer give away a cruise, which was the main reason I always paid to play bingo with my family. With regards to the stateroom, though spacious and updated, it was only cleaned TWO out of the four days (could you imagine having a family of four in one stateroom without fresh towels?). Princess Cays was very pretty and relaxing, but the tender was rocky due to inclement weather. Freeport was FREEZING, as its proximity to Southern Florida makes it vulnerable to chilly temperatures, so take a sweater! The photo backgrounds are the same as 10 years ago, the music is extremely outdated and the disembarkation progress was chaotic.

Overall, I do not think this was an enjoyable experience and I will not be cruising with Carnival ever again.
