Carnival Cruise Lines
reviews and complaints

Hello,

Carnival Sunrise May 15-20th, 2023

Booking number: V36XD9

Cabin number 7352

Both item left inside closet hanging up.

My housekeeper was name Sunny.

I would like for someone to reach out to me re: my lost items. I left my pink neck pillow and a denim jacket in my cabin closet. The denim jacket is most important because it was a gift from a deceased friend and I have been holding on to it for years.

I did complete a report and as of June 20th it says my items were not found. It was a generic email. I’m not sure how my items was not found because both items were hanging in the closet in clear view. I would have thought my housekeeper would have immediately found items. I do understand that I left my items behind and I should have checked after myself better. My jacket is most important because it was a gift. Means so much to me.

But are the rooms cleaned after de embarkment?

Is there possible where all lost items are sorted and it may take longer to confirm if anything was found?

After such a nice cruise. It sad that carnival has such a not so pleasant lost and found procedure. Carnival has done a bad job of following up. Very hard to get in contact with anyone re: lost and found items.

Thank you,

Lonyelle

We book a cruise for November 7,2020 and we were unable to go due to Carnival cancelling the cruise during the Covid pandemic.

We were told at the time that we would have a $700 credit towards a future cruise. The pandemic continued on and we were finally able to book a cruise for November 2024.

When we booked the cruise, we were told that the credit would be applied to our future cruise. We waited patiently, as instructed by Carnival customer service and vacation specialist. When there was no credit that showed up for our upcoming cruise, Dale Hamel called customer service and was blatantly told “the cruise specialist that booked your cruise made a mistake, and the credit must be used by September 30,2023.”

I cannot imagine Carnival not standing behind the money that is owed to us, and stating the cruise specialist should have known better, and yet not doing anything to rectify the employees “mistaken information” that was given. Those are the words that customer service used this evening in explaining why we would not be receiving the $700 credit that we are owed.

Had we known back In April that the date of expiration was in September, we would have made arrangements and booked a cruise within the timeframe. At no time were we notified that Carnival put a deadline to the use of the credit that is owed to us.

Now, we are not able to change our work schedules to be able to cruise prior to the newly imposed deadline. I would like a call from a supervisor to discuss this injustice, and was told that “no supervisors are available”.

The booking number for the November 7, 2020 cruise was aboard the Carnival valor and the Booking C23NZ8.

My name is Adrian Johnson (NOV3L4/J3P4G9) I’m contacting you all regarding a ship refund/credit. I’ve been informed that I will receive onboards credits instead of $294.00 I spent using my personal credit card. I purchased the ship Wi-Fi, and I lost several days of Wi-Fi because the Wi-Fi did not work. I spoke with guest services who stated I would receive refund. The guest attended failed to mention the refund is in fact on board credits.

Also, I requested my gratuity refunded due to not attending any of the nightly dinners due to my entire party getting sick due to norovirus lingering on the ship. Also, I request a plumber because my toilet constantly leaked, and the shower overflowed nightly due to plumbing issues.

Every morning, my room attended Komang was made aware of these incidents. He also contacted a plumber on my behalf. I’ve attached necessary information and videos below. Therefore, I’m requesting a refund of $294 to be refunded to my credit card and not ship credits. As I will not be cruising on Carnival going forward.

I have additional photos and videos that can be provided upon request, as un unable to attached them to this form. My contact email is [protected]@yahoo.com

When we arrived at the ship, we were delayed because there was a fight on the ship returning to NEW YORK, so the police had to come , arrest customers on the ship, so we couldn't get on the ship.

The food in the buffet was really bad. Everyone was talking about it, but not eating it. I spoke to the crew in the white shirts and they said that the food was really disgusting. It was never hot, it never looked very appetizing. Food from the back trays were all in the front trays, and servers never corrected the problem. Food was not good at all. Guy's was OK. Taco's were good, Pizza was very good. The problem was that the lines at these stations were so long that it took 30-45 minutes on line.. the deli line was always long because nobody was eating the buffet. I started eating breakfast and dinner in the main dining room after 4 days of cruising..

I spoke to Ivana-the food manager and she said that they have to correct the situation. Maybe a new cook soon.

The crew also told me that this ship came out of Asia and not made for so many people, The pools were so small. Could not accommodate 4,900 people.

Booking Reference: XR3XVT. R318, D169. Baltic customer.

I am absolutely disgusted with what I thought was a brilliant company, P & O. I thought as a ‘valued’ Baltic customer it would stand for something: - but it seems that it means nothing. Firstly I am getting ripped off for being a single traveller - after losing a travelling companion, my father. This is my first single cruise on P & O, and I don’t have this great feeling of pride like I used to have travelling on P & O.

You have been sitting on the money for over two years, making interest for yourselves, and what do I get, a bitter feeling due to the difference in price of the cabin. Being a pensioner, the difference would pay all my heating bill for a year.

It seems that the price I have paid for a single person (£5,571) in an outside cabin is now £1,702 more expensive than the price as of today 13th of July 2023 (£3,869). Times are hard at present, with everything going up, including a 10% hike in my local rates due to the council being £1,5 Billion in debt. As a retired person, I am on a fixed income, and used to look forward to my cruise.

I was told that P & O would do nothing for me, as it was in the terms and conditions. I thus am disgusted at feeling all I am is a cash cow for a big multinational American money grabbing company. I know you have to make a profit, but £1,702 difference is disgusting, should be illegal.

Other cruise lines according to videos I have seen on You tube will do something about this, such as an upgrade cabin, give them extra benefits etc if the price drops. You do nothing. May I remind you that you have Iona and Arvia, as well as Britannia that needs to be filled on a regular basis> This type of treatment is making me wonder whether I should cancel my already booked Canada cruise with you next year, and change cruise lines. As well as other cruises that I was planning to do with yourselves.

Social media I hate, but on issues such as ripping off Senior Citizens on fixed income would go down well.

I am one very unhappy customer at present, and that is before I go on the cruise. Having heard and seen all the negative feedback about P & O lately, you think they would bend over to make people want to travel on them.

I had the Canada cruise booked previous, but due to the pandemic it was cancelled. My father passed, and I was guaranteed the same balcony cabin but only pay for one person due to my fathers passing. This then got cancelled due to pandemic.

I look forward to hearing from you.

We were called 2 days prior to leaving on our cruise. The Horizon, left out of Miami, June9-June 18th. Kathy, a carnival representative asked if we wanted to upgrade our room. We were in a handicapped accessible room. We told her we would. She explained all the amenities it included.. Havana bar and private pool access. Early boarding and departure. Early access to our room. It was a grand suite. We agreed. It was $700 more for the week. We had already paid for our cruise so the extra money was worth it right?.. We weren’t allowed access to private pool area, they informed us it wasn’t included in our package. It’s a grand suite. Why then did we pay $700 more for a room to not get what we were promised. The pools were super busy, I get it 4200 people but the pools were dirty and they had to drain back pool because of all the dirt and filth.

My daughter paid $600 for a drink package. Because there were so many amateur drinkers on board they shut down bars early and started serving virgin drinks to guests who weee way to drunk. How is that fake for my daughter? They had us go to deck 5. Okay! Now everyone is there waiting to be served. My husband and I smoke. By the time we all got back up to deck 11 we were ready for another cocktail. They had no servers available to take care of us around the pool area. This wasn’t just one day. This was every day. I want to be waited on.. pampered if you will. That’s what we pay for. I’m super disappointed in the fact that they shut down all bars early around the pool area and the back pool area. Pretty sure she didn’t drink $600 worth of alcohol. We waited an hour if not longer to get drinks as we sat by the pool and in the back pool.

If we had been allowed in the private Havana bar we would’ve had this issue.

The air conditioning did t work on the back 1/2 of the ship. So eating in the buffet was miserable. I felt sorry for the people working.

I feel like this ship is a training ship for new employees.

We have cruised with carnival 2 other times and we have the time of our lives. This cruise was very disappointing. The staff were very kind and respectful. Greeted us by name. But, getting the drinks was very difficult. My husband and I had free drink packages. My daughter had to pay for hers. I find it very unfair for her, she couldn’t get drinks and when she did try they sent her to deck 5 near casino to get drinks. The casino had 1 server! One! For all these people. I wasted more time waiting for drinks and feeding machines til I got my drinks. Do you not have a Casino host on board this ship? Never saw one. Any other carnival cruise we’ve been introduced to one. I won’t be taking another cruise on this ship. Very disappointing and very unsatisfying. I would really like a response back to my email. I this is the second one I’ve written since we’ve been home almost a month and a half later. To no response. I at least would like compensation for our room that we paid extra for and compensated for my daughters drink package. That she had to fight so hard for to get an actual alcoholic beverage. I’d this is how you treat your guests then I’m pretty sure we won’t be using carnival again. We love cruising. We’ve seen beautiful places and have met many kind people. But, the service was not up to par. The food wasn’t great and portions were smaller then usual. If someone could please get back to me I would really appreciate talking to a human being. Instead of an automated person.

Sincerely, aggravated and frustrated with no human being contacting me.

Regards, Maggie Morrison. Please get back with me as soon as possible. I’ve been waiting patiently for a month with no response.

What a vacation… lets just say I should’ve went with my gut and cancelled the trip when the ship was changed from Magic. The ship is nice but it is not crowd friendly. Carnival should make this ship their very first adult only cruise 21+ only. Everything about the cruise says small! All common areas are small. The elevator situation is a nightmare we walked the stairs majority of the time because almost every time the elevator reached our floor it was packed! The food was disgusting! I usually gain weight on vacation and i lost 3lbs. I get the whole Italian thing they are going for and it LOOK nice, but PLEASE for your patrons sake give us the food and bars we’re use too. This was my 3rd cruise and it made me never want to go on a cruise with Carnival again! My toddlers ipad didn’t work for 4 days basically, the gentleman at guest services told me i didn’t need to download the app to connect and that if i tried to open a web browser page it should prompt me to login - it never did until i downloaded the app when we reached Puerto Rico late afternoon on the 30th. I went back to guest services and asked if I would be credited for the 3 days since I purchased the package prior to our cruise date to save money and I was told no. So I was out of service for 3 days yet still paid for it - how unfair! I placed an order for beverages to be delivered to my room the day we started our trip, however it was not there which I didn’t stress because the ship was packed and I knew the staff was busy. I waited until the following day called guest services that morning and they advised me that they would look into it and have it delivered. Went out for the day to explore the ship, took my daughter to waterworks came back 4hrs later still no drinks. I called again to guest services and the young lady said she’ll look into it and give me a ring back. She never called back! I left out that evening to go watch a movie and after the movie ended around 11:45pm I decided to actually go to guest services and inquire about my beverages and the gentleman told me it was just delivered at 11:17pm UNREAL! My daily cruise itinerary was never delivered to my room cabin, good thing I made sure my husband and I downloaded the app or we wouldn’t have known what was going on each day. However, they made sure to deliver it the last day so I had instructions as to how to disembark. There was a huge brawl the last night at the club and pure kayos in the hall in the middle of the night, yelling, arguing etc which woke many of us up. Disembarkation was a NIGHTMARE! We waited for over 2hrs without our muster station being called people literally just started doing their own thing. My toddler was nearly knocked over numerous times with people basically taking matters into their own hands to get off the ship after waiting so long in such confined spaces. NEVER AGAIN! Overall, the ports were great. However, staff, ship and food need a MAJOR do over and that says a lot being only the 4th voyage out!

Very security free dirty ship. As seniors we were treated as non existent in MDR . Had better service at a Denny's Restaurant. Family Harbor eating area was filthy and unkept. Tenns roaming around in gangs laughing and threatening our well being. Security said that they can't offend the parents and their parenting styles. So much for protecting us. Thievery in the halls. Chaos all the time. Getting off the ship was a nightmare. WE have taken over 25 cruises and never on any other felt like a hostage with no recourse to enjoy OUR VACATION. Afraid to go out in the evening because of frat house atmosphere. We were pushed around and disrespected and treated by the staff as non existent. We did not enjoy our relaxing beverage benefit or our casino that we love. There were so many instances that we experienced and observed that happened to other seniors. As an added bonus, we tested positive for Covid (along with many other passengers on the facebook page) when we got home. No body would accept a report from us. How can you thoroughly clean a ship between 8-10 am while the passengers are still aboard? This ship may become a perpetual covid breeder. Still feeling effects of covid. This was a mess. Please contact me. I want some recourse.

My name is Devorah Harper, currently booked T3N0H7 traveling November 20, 2023; reservation made June 07, 2023. I have conversed with Carnival agents several times about my credit and possible cancellation. I was advised that I would receive a credit that was due me $340.29. (from booking #D22GD7). When I called today July 5th, 2023 to inquire how I would be credited since my cruise is paid for. I was advised then and only at this time that I had to sail by September 2023 to get my due credit. This is appalling as this was the topic of my conversation during my numerous inquiries. The supervising agent today, July 5th, 2023, aggressively informed me that I had been notified and that she had documentation. This is clearly untrue. I never received any documentation or got a call regarding a deadline to receive my credit. Otherwise, I would have booked my accommodations along those guidelines.

I am asking for your assistance in this matter. To have the credit be applied to my booking as on-board credit or reduced cruise charge. Looking forward to a positive and expeditious response.

I have contacted someone regarding the booking we had to cancel over a carnival cruise error. I have already verified with the bank and my attorney that we do not owe anything .we were not double refunded and even turned in a bank letter confirming it.the legal team as yet to get back to us to fix this issue. This cruise that never was back in 2020 and we canceled before any penalty. We only received one refund and the collection department would not take any documentation proving we only got one refund .

I booked my reservation Jan 2023, my husband died 25 Oct 2022. He loved cruising with you. This trip is meant to be a memorial to celebrate his life. 20 people are going from all over the USA. Last week I tried to get our rooms linked so we could arrange to sit together for dinner. We all had 600 PM reservations. Last night when the last person called to get her room linked she said your associate said none of the rooms had confirmed dining times and kept urging her to take the open dining of 530-8 PM. She told me she said no she couldn't do that without talking to everyone. Sheila Johnson and I check our bookings this morning and find the times have been changed. After 2 phone calls this morning I'm told that even though it was your associates mistake we'll have to be put on a wait list but don't worry we'll know something by 3 days before the cruise. I was married 44 years I don't know if you can understand the level of my grief but anticipating this trip was giving me a little joy. Now I have to agonize possibly for 3 months hoping things "will work out". How is this acceptable to your company.

I purchased a pedicure online precruise 6/17/23 using a $50 emailed coupon code VCYJ23.

My charge was $5 after the discount was applied which I paid online. I had the pedicure on the Luminosa on 6/25/23. At the time of service I was charged $69.62 including tip to my sign & sail account. I talked with the spa and guest services 3 times each, but the $50 coupon was never acknowledged and I had to pay the full price for the pedicure. The spa blamed guest services & guest services blamed the spa. I would not have booked a pedicure had I known the $50 coupon was not going to be worth anything.

I also had a $50 cabin credit which did not show up on my final sign & sail account. I do not know if or when it was applied to my account.

I was also never credited for the 2 free drinks as a gold member which were coffees.

Thank you for looking into these issues

To whom it may concern,

On 2/6/2022 my family took a 4 day cruise to Ensenada and Catalina island on the carnival radiance booking number is K3S4R4 and k3S5J8 and on 2/08/2023 we spent the day in Ensenada and had a nice time we made our way back to the ship and decided to return to our cabins prior to meeting up for dinner and our daughters meghan and tiffany took the elevator ahead of us and as they were attempting to get off on their floor 3 older (in there 70s)Asian men were getting in the elevator as the girls attempted to get off the men would not allow them to get off instead they tried to force Meghan and Tiffany into the back of the elevator trying to grab their bodies in an inappropriate manner making sexual advances not allowing them to get out ,the girls asked them to stop and move even said excuse me they tried to go around them but the men would not allow them to get off they just laughed and continued to grab at them sexually saying something in Japanese finally the girls had enough and had to force their way off the elevator they immediately came to find me they told me what happened and we went to find the men but were unable to find them . The next evening on 2/9/2023 we were in the casino playing a game all 4 of us and I looked up and saw two old guys approaching my daughters and Meghan looked at me and said Dad that them they were saying something to Tiffany as I stood up they started to run off and I chased after them at that point several security guards came out my daughters explained the situation while the other went to get me . At no point we’re we or they asked to file a report with carnival even after knowing the situation security never even talked to the old men , carnival failed to protect my daughters in this situation and failed to provide a safe environment for young women aboard the radiance esp on 2/08/2022 . There are no instructions whatsoever on what to do if you feel unsafe or harassed or even attacked while on board the radiance there are no phone numbers provided in the rooms or anywhere that we saw in fact we never saw a single security guard on the cruise until the incident in the casino. Therefore, we are asking for a compensation in regards of this situation.

Carnival cruises should provide a pleasant and safe environment. Our vacation left us on a sour note, we may never cruise with carnival or any affiliate company again , this situation is unacceptable ! Waiting on reply from Carnival cruises, so hopefully we can come to an agreement.

We were leaving the ship, Venezia yesterday morning. The crew were verydisorganized in getting us off the ship. We waited on the 4th deck, waiting for over an hour before the announcement allowed us to leave the deck. We then proceeded to go to deck 2. The line was backed up. A female employee told part of my line to go down the stairs, to separate from the rest of the line. However, she did not lead the line. We began to go down the stairs, however, when we went to the end of the hallway, no one knew which way to go. A male guest began to yell at the crew, why isn't anyone directing us. A crew member then told us to go left. We then followed the hallway which led us outside, we then joined others on the line, and continued to wait another 40 minutes.

The 1st night arriving, 6/15, at 8:15 for dinner at the Marco Polo dining room, they couldn't at 1st find our table. Then the waiter, showed us to a table of 6. We are only 2, and did not want to share a table. We spoke to the Maitre D and he sent us to the other dining room to get a table. I understand it was the1st night on the cruise, but many guests had issues with their seating. Also, during the entire cruise, the lines on the buffet were long. We didn't use the buffet more than 2x's due the long wait. Guests were lined up at least 20 waiting over 30 min for food.

Me and my wife went on the Carnival Conquest on August 5th. We were hoping to have a great time before the baby comes. But, it was a disaster from the start. We had to wait for more than 2 hours for our room to be ready. During this time, we had to wait in line for customer service to discuss the adult beverage package for me. My wife is pregnant, so she couldn't use it. We had told them about her pregnancy when we booked the cruise, and they had noted it in our account. But, the customer service said that they would add the package for me, and it would take 20 minutes. We agreed and waited for 30 minutes. But, when we went to the bar to check, it wasn't activated. The bartender sent us downstairs to the doctor for a note, which they claimed we needed. The doctor said that they couldn't do that and asked us to go back. The bartender gave us attitude and was rude to us. My wife had to wait for another 20-30 minutes to be sent back to the service desk, where they told her to keep waiting. Finally, after 2 hours, it went on after making a scene.

When we finally got our room key and went into our room, it was beyond disgusting. It hadn't been dusted in months, and there was mold on the couch. The AC was broken, and it was sweltering. My wife, who is pregnant, had to clean the entire room herself, and I reported it to room service. They came and swapped the couch out, but the AC never got better. We were forced to sleep in 78 degrees, with both of us sweating.

The dining room service was the worst. We had to wait for 20-30 minutes for wine to come to me, and the steak came out raw two nights in a row. The food was utterly disgusting. To make matters worse, there were loud and obnoxious people keeping us up awake at 3 am. I had to call the service desk to complain.

The ship was dingy, dirty, and disgusting. Inside and out. We will never return, and I will be making it known how you treat pregnant people.

So, we decided to take a cruise with Carnival for the first time and we were not happy with our room. It was hot and our cooler/refrigerator wasn't working. We told housekeeping right away and he reported it to his supervisor and the front desk multiple times during our 5-day sailing. They gave us a fan to try to cool down, but we kept complaining because it was still too hot. On the last day, when we were checking out, they offered us drink packages and photo deals, which we didn't need. They told us to contact customer service when we got home, but when we did, we didn't get much help.

To make matters worse, when we got home, we tested positive for Covid. We reported it to Carnival and American Airlines (who we booked the cruise through), but all we got was a generic response from Carnival. They apologized for the temperature and refrigerator issues, but said that the temperature fell within their recommended guideline. We don't understand how that could be true when housekeeping had to bring us a fan and agreed that it was hot in the room. They also apologized for an issue with our shower drain, which they fixed while we were onboard.

We had to wait over 30 days for this response, which was not helpful at all. We were really disappointed with the customer service and don't plan on cruising with Carnival again. It's a shame because we were really looking forward to this trip, but it just didn't live up to our expectations. We hope that Carnival can improve their customer service in the future so that other travelers don't have to go through what we did.

Me and my family had planned to go on a cruise with Carnival Cruise Lines for my son's wedding. We tried to book our rooms online, but it didn't work, so we had to call Carnival to book them. I used my debit card to place a $1,000 deposit for both rooms, but I didn't see any deduction from my account. I called again and finally got confirmation that we had until June 12th to pay off the rest of the bill or cancel. Unfortunately, due to some family health issues, we had to cancel both rooms on April 20th. Carnival said there was a $50 cancellation fee per person, which I understood, but they also said they were deducting an additional amount to be applied as credit for our next booking if we did it within 2 years. My son's room had 3 people, so they were charged $150 for cancellation and got $225 as credit, while my room was charged $100 for cancellation and got an additional $150 credit. I'm deaf, so my daughter-in-law had to make the calls for me. We can't plan a cruise in the next 2 years due to our family health issues, so I feel like I'm being ripped off $375 ($225 credit + $150 credit). I don't want to use Carnival again if they force me to render a credit for both rooms. I want my proper refund and I don't know who to address this to. You can send any replies to the email under the booking number 6mb5z4.

We were so excited to go on the Mardi Gras cruise with Carnival Cruise Lines that we had been looking forward to it for almost a year. However, after just two days on the ship, we couldn't wait to leave. It's Thursday now, and we are praying that Saturday arrives quickly so that we can get off this ship.

To start with something positive, we must say that the crew members who have the difficult job of cleaning up after 5,000+ people are the only nice crew members on this ship. However, it seems like sales are the main goal of Carnival, and that's understandable, but the sales pitches never stop. We paid $300 for a couple's massage, but it left us sore even four days later. As soon as we redressed, the staff came in and separated my wife and me in different corners to give us a 10-minute sales pitch for the overpriced and ineffective Elemis products. We were more stressed after the massage than before it.

The bartender on the first night was incredibly rude. We don't drink much, but I wanted a bourbon while watching a football game. I asked for Eagle Rare, but he simply said they were out. I asked for two more bourbons, both of which were out, and he replied that if I would just look at the bottles and not the menu, I could stop wasting both of our time.

When we went to guest services to ask a few simple questions about shore excursion options, they refused to even look at us, as if we were disturbing them at their home. Finally, the medical staff is the worst group of people I've ever been around. I understand the need to be vigilant against viruses on a cruise ship, but when I requested Tylenol for my arthritic knee, they seemed to not believe me and treated me as if I was a biological terrorist attempting to sicken the entire ship. However, no one says a word to the dozens who are obviously sick and coughing on everyone in hallways and elevators.

Today is our excursion to Grand Turk, but my knee is hurting so badly that we had to cancel. We'd rather lose the $150 than be harassed and mistreated by the medical staff again. Overall, after spending almost $5,000 on this trip, we are sitting in our stateroom with extremely limited entertainment options and praying that the next two days fly by so that we can leave this nightmare behind forever.

Some people love these cruises, and you might as well, but I can't ever recommend anyone set foot on a Carnival ship after this week.

My experience with Carnival Cruise Lines was a complete disaster. I recently went on the Carnival Magic and the embarkation process was a nightmare. It was slow, messy, and agonizing. The experience of a good vacation was completely overshadowed even before embarking the ship. I traveled with two children under 12 and no one informed me that I had preference to go on a different line. The embarkation took us almost 5 hours!

First, I arrived at the pier and left my three luggage. Then I was directed to go to pier 90, but that was wrong! Check-in was happening at pier 88, which was a red flag. After arriving at the correct pier, I knew it was the right one because of the long line outside the entrance. While in line, two ladies asked me if I had a boarding pass. Again, no one told me that I didn't need to stand in the second long line inside the pier because I was traveling with children.

Once I got inside to check-in, there was another long line. It took us almost 2 1/2 hours to pass through. When it was finally my turn to do the questionnaire, I was told to stand in another line because the children needed an exception form or something. In the third line, I waited another hour to get seen. Then the person told me that the kids needed to be COVID tested by the Carnival crew and with the amount of people waiting, they would not be able to provide test results before departure. My booking got canceled.

I requested to talk to a supervisor, and she told me in a rude way that if I hadn't been there earlier, I would have made it on time. I said I was there by 12 pm, and no one told me in the two lines I stood prior to this that the people with children needed to come straight to this line. The lack of customer service was appalling. I said there were no signs directing people, and the two women outside did not communicate that to me!

Please do yourself a big favor and do not cruise with Carnival, which is a magic from hell. Try other cruise lines like Norwegian or Royal. The customer service was angry and soulless, and the worst embarking experience I have ever had. There were a lot of people in the embarkation process for such a small ship.

In conclusion, I would not recommend Carnival Cruise Lines to anyone. The embarkation process was a complete disaster, and the lack of customer service was appalling. I hope this review helps others avoid the same experience I had.
