Miracle to Hawaii 15 days, Oct 2014

[goaties]

Just my thoughts... Cruise was fabulous... Food so so... I could see a cut in staff with Carnival. I still have two more cruises scheduled.. Did not change my mind about Carnival. Dining room food was awesome most days. They did seem rushed and short handed some. Room steward has one helper on this ship and he does the cleaning along with helper. Usually three and room steward does not clean. Different on this cruise. He worked very hard. Couple of days no wash cloths,,,, changed sheets one time in two weeks..... Did not clean floors every day.... small things i did notice... Over worked and rushed he seemed.. Entertainment was bad... Comedians were terrible, shows so so.. etc. Bottom of the budget it seemed. Not what we have heard in the past. Casino smaller on this ship... smoking most places in the casino.

water was cold in the pools. too cold most days to swim. very few people in pool. only 57 kids on cruise this time of the year. Mostly age group 60 plus...

quite, no music at pools, no entertainment as on carribean cruises. No party atmosphere on this ship. slow laid back type cruise.. Enjoyed very much... 15 days awesome..... Rain one day coming back.. Rough seas most days.. if you have a little sea sickness you could not take this cruise. cool front coming down from Alaska, the captain said. swells to 12 ft a couple of days going and coming back... rocked both ways. up and down and side to side. very different..

Thanks for your review. My sis was also on this cruise. It's interesting how people can have 2 entirely different views. My sis said the seas were similar to other cruises on the Pacific when coming back from Mexico. They also thought the entertainment was good.

 

About the room steward. It is up to the head room steward to decide how many assistants he/she wants. Some have one asst. for the morning and one for the evening. Others only have 1 asst. for the whole day.
