I sailed on Carnival's new ship, Carnival Firenze, in May. I have two major gripes about the experience: the mediocre food and the incessant upselling.
  • I spent four nights on Carnival Cruise Line's new Carnival Firenze cruise ship.
  • The quality of the vacation reflects its relatively affordable fares.
  • I have two major gripes about my experience: the lackluster food and incessant upselling.

People love to hate Carnival Cruise Line. After sailing on the new Carnival Firenze, I now understand why: The food was as bad as the incessant upselling.
