Additional details
Only reason I sail from Galveston is it's only a four hour drive. Other than that it's the worst cruise terminal in the world. After traffic was backed up for a mile Galveston P.D. finally decided to get someone out at 1230 to direct traffic. Wait in line to turn, why, we'll just act stupid and cut in front of everybody whos' been waiting.
Seven days of people that don't know how to shut a door without slamming it. Balcony door or cabin door, doesn't matter. People who only care about what their doing. Wait on elevator just to find someone one floor down having a conversation just holding the door open. We watched, that car had been idle for quit a while.
The drunker and more stupid you acted the better you got along with the entertainment staff. Had drunk with his pitcher of whatever drunk in the Punchliner trying to save two rows of chairs threating to fight everybody, running up on stage like he owns the place. Does the staff do anything? Of course not he's what Carnival Stands for. Not the Fun Ships, we're the Drunk Ships.
Cabin Review
Balcony
Cabin was spacious and furniture still in good condition. Just don't understand why everything has to be covered in dust. For cruise shower it was actually pretty big. Need more hangers in closets. Three or four hangers to a slide was too much. Couch was actually too stiff and uncomfortable to sit on. Would be nice if Carnival would spend a dollar and get a few more news options for the T.V. That sorry CBS station just didn't cut it. Carnival HUB APP and their Wi-Fi is a joke. Tried logging on and got an error on my phone security policy violation. Phone didn't work properly entire cruise, even in port.
Port Reviews
Galveston
No control of traffic flow. Have two cruise terminals using one entrance. No seperation of people getting on or off. Porters are more interested in getting luggage off of busses than being available to those driving. No organization to the luggage drop off. People parked three across, so they block the exit for those who actually did the right thing and pulled up to the curb. But hey I don't care about anybody behind me. I'll just stop and block everybody. I will give them some credit, don't know what they changed since we sailed back in Feb. but we were one of the last ones off the ship this time and had cleared immagation and customs by 11:30. Last time we didn't get cleared until 12:15 and there were still at least 1500 people behind us.

Mr. Sancho's... What more needs to be said. Just be sure to make your reservations early.
