I'm not sure how you could find our ahead of time, but for what is worth on our last cruise my SO wanted the bed to face the opposite direction because of the way the the ship was moving and we just moved the bed around ourselves... the room steward didn't care and just made it up that way for the rest of the trip.

I have to agree with the OP. I was on this sailing as well, and it was by far the worst experience I've had on Carnival so far. As has been said before though, we still managed to have an outstanding time, but if we're to compare experiences here, this one was lacking.

I'm still debating doing a longer review, but our room steward was also non-existent, and we never got ice once (maybe they stopped filling the ice buckets as a standard service, I don't know). Also, our room was not done until like 3pm.

Our dining staff was great though. We liked the American Table menus for the most part, with the exception of elegant night. I was expecting the norm of prime rib, lobster type options, but looking at the TV before dinner the menu had only things like veal, lamb shank, and braised rabbit. None of my party of four wanted anything on that menu, so we opted to try out the steakhouse. It was great! Loved that, and the service there was outstanding.

I felt the ship was really crowded all the time... the staff was over worked, and there weren't enough of them to keep up. It was difficult to get a drink most of the time. It may be due to the time of year, but regardless... if that is the case, it is something that Carnival should be able to anticipate and compensate for.

Ports were awesome, we always love Key West and Cozumel. Just wish KW was a longer stop.

The ship did move a lot on this trip... it was really windy the entire time it seemed. When it tilted the one night people mentioned before, it was crazy... glasses were falling off of tables and breaking... I've never had that happen before.

Like I said though... we had a great time anyway. We were on a trip with some family we don't see much, and so it was more about spending time together than anything. And it IS better than being at work, no matter what! :p

I know on our next cruise I'm not going to forget water pills... cankles are killers! :)
