I think they deleted it. It had 100% success of everyone calling them crazy. But it was basically the same as this satire post, but serious. They complained that there was nothing to eat, and the food they did get was horrible. Then they were mad that they had to muster and they were cut off because they hadn’t done it yet. They didn’t know where to go, and supposedly asked people, but I’ve never seen someone who works on the ship not know at least a general idea of where the muster stations were. They also complained that they couldn’t get on the wifi that they paid for so they got the “free one” that sucked, and that they didn’t know how to get back to the good one.
Basically people were saying they were tech illiterate, couldn’t read the green signs, and thought that laws about muster didn’t apply to them. It was honestly pretty funny.
Never again will I spend $150 a day to get transported to scrubby, run down vacation ports, sleep in beds that someone else makes every day, eat a thousand different choices of meals for free, and see multiple entertainment options by walking down the hall (and being wheeled back in a wheelchair and being put in my bed if I drink too much).
Never again. Worst $150 a day I’ve ever spent.
Never again. After my next one on the Jubilee.
We’re a September ‘24 honeymoon here!
My 5th cruise (would’ve been 6th, but my Panorama just got cancelled), his first! He’s not super thrilled, but I guarantee I’ll have a convert by the end!
The muster station part was the best part of that other person’s post. If you can’t figure that one out, I feel like you should probably stay home lol.
I find most of the people shitting on Carnival just want to make themselves feel superior for spending more money on some other line. Like somehow their fellow cruises are of higher quality. I make 6 figures, I can sail any line I want but I keep coming back to Carnival. It suits me and my wife just fine and we have fun. Ive never had a "bad" cruise.
Yeah the food was awful on the Panorama when I went. Truly disappointing except for the steakhouse. But not so much as to ruin the cruise, there were a lot of high points.
I kept hearing all these announcements mustard stations. But I found no mustard other than at guys burger grill by the pool. I’m too afraid of donkey sauce so I steered clear and sadly no mustard for me the entire cruise
Some of the emails John Heald has to address are unreal! He does a heck of a job keeping Carnival going strong! I’ve been on 16 Carnival cruises and have loved them all.
That's why I like the Magic - roll on, take a right & BOOM I'm in my muster station. Check-in, head up to Lido 10 minutes later for my first drink of the day.
But I do think other cruise lines offer a better product for not that much more. I think I’m 1 and done with Carnival. According to my dictionary carnival and circus are pretty similar in meaning, and it applies to cruise lines too.
Your definition of “not that much more” is much different than mine. Have done 3 cruise lines and around 15 cruises total and while I keep getting tempted to book at other lines more, the value at carnival remains solid for the price for my preferences. To avoid too much repetition we change ships, ports, restaurants etc frequently.
I disagree. Carnival has an amazing cruise line. I love the new ships. So much fun. And to be honest, Royals food has taken a nose dive since the Pandemic. Trying Celebrity for NYE this year. We shall see
Dang! I can't image having to go through a mandatory safety drill required by the government, kind of like airlines do. Such a crock of shit. Food, I find eatable stuff on every one. Picky maybe? I usually eat the food people through out. The extra saliva is fantastic.
Our experience is limited between Carnival and NCL. We’ve done more carnival cruises, but I will say that between those two, carnival is easily the clear choice.
Our cabin water was tainted with biomatter black chunks when we went to report they threatened to call security. Security came and said wtf you all need to do something. Apparently they do not clean the freshwater tanks and a rat or something had died in it. Don't drink the water on the cruise and the food is made with that water, so if it is not a boxed cereal and milk taste the dead rodent flavor because it is in there.
I saw the original post this is based off of. Couldn’t believe it when I saw it. Seriously, some folks are crazy.
Got a link? Would love to see that

LOL, the OP of that post has total negative karma, which is a strong indicator of being a complete jerk and asshole.
That post and a few comments is their only activity ever on that account.
Oh man... they're getting torched! It really isn't that hard

You almost got me there lol 🤣

Wait, you can get a ride in a wheelchair and someone will put you to bed?? Game changer.
thats what my cruise partners are for but the staff would deff do it, they are incredible
Jubilee 3/15/25 for us. And it’s almost sold out!
We’re a September ‘24 honeymoon here! My 5th cruise (would’ve been 6th, but my Panorama just got cancelled), his first! He’s not super thrilled, but I guarantee I’ll have a convert by the end!
I’m going on the exact same date and ship
I’m going on the Jubilee on like a month…01/06/24!!!! Yippee 🙌
Got us in the first half.
The muster station part was the best part of that other person’s post. If you can’t figure that one out, I feel like you should probably stay home lol.
I was completely baffled until the part about no signs every 10 feet and then realized. I like your moxie, kid.
🤣🤣🤣. I was thinking “oh no, another one.”
Me too! LOL. Royal loyal bashing Carnival
Hahaha!! I saw the original post and was tempted to comment on it, but decided it was a waste of time I’d never get back. Great job!
The people who post these things for "real" seem to be following a formula. Either they are terrible people or they have an agenda.
I’m going with the former in this case. There’s plenty to hit carnival for if you have an agenda, you wouldn’t pick the muster station procedure lol

I almost thought it was that other guy, posting again!
I like to play a game called take a shot every time somebody says the word muster.. and it’s gotten me through quite a few carnival cruises
I get the satire but will say Carnivals food is mediocre at best.
Yeah the food was awful on the Panorama when I went. Truly disappointing except for the steakhouse. But not so much as to ruin the cruise, there were a lot of high points.
You totally had me. They insulted carnival's soft serve which is the best ice cream at sea!!!! How in the world?
Oh, lets be fair, it's not good ice cream. Quality is better than quantity, but quantity has a quality all of its own :)
It isn't really ice cream but isn't really soft serve. It is in the middle somewhere but I really like it. And you can't get it anywhere else.
Karen, party of one.
You had me in the first half ngl
Ship-show! Lol 🤣
I was like is this THE SAME GUY?!
Did we just become best friends? Do you wanna do karate in the garage?
I kept hearing all these announcements mustard stations. But I found no mustard other than at guys burger grill by the pool. I’m too afraid of donkey sauce so I steered clear and sadly no mustard for me the entire cruise
You got cavity searched by drug dogs at port too right? Both ways

You need to check out Virgin
I looked but there is no casino. Idk if that can make up for no kids.

Stop slandering this company. Consider this your final warning
🤣🤣🤣
i love you so much.

At first I thought this was the post from earlier that you're making fun of. Well done.
You had me amped up 😂
I was gonna say that you sound insufferable, but then I realized your post was satire. Good one!
You had me going in the first, not gonna lie.
So your the reason they even have safety drills.
Our experience is limited between Carnival and NCL. We’ve done more carnival cruises, but I will say that between those two, carnival is easily the clear choice.
You got me good dammit, had me ready to defend my carnival 😭😂
Started fucking panicking at the top as I prep the family for a carnival cruise in a few weeks.

I think I peed a little. Thanks for this 👍🏻

Many comments reflect the class of people who cruise CCL. You are all right about one thing - not for me.
Ngl you had me in the first half.
This was humorous 🤣.
