This was our first cruise . We had been looking forward to this cruise for several months. Expecting to relax and enjoy the week , but ended up very disappointed. We did start off our cruise with a message at the spa. It was great! One of the best things we did while on the ship. However, is was quickly downhill from there....:-( There seem to be two extreme demographics, with NO in between. There was either heavy drinking/partying or age +65 card/trivia game playing. Lots of heavy drinking on ALL the deck areas. Very loud with no place to get away from the noise or the drunk people. Couldn't even enjoy the piano bar because of the drunk, screaming people. NOT the relaxing time we were expecting.The buffet was a school cafeteria line, that smelled so bad we couldn't even eat there. Regular dinning room was OK, eatable but still not really great. Not the luxury dinning that I expected. However the staff in the dinning room, was excellent! The cabins were great! The best thing about the whole ship! More room then we expected. The rooms were clean and well managed. The room steward was always very helpful and friendly.Overall, our voyage on the Carnival Ecstasy was a BIG disappointment, not the relaxing vacation we were longing for. I would be very hesitant to ever try Carnival again.
