Ashes were showering my balcony on the 2nd floor of the Carnival Panorama on my recent cruise and realized many others on the floor were having a similar problem, but Carnival only moved people who complained and continuously downplayed the issue - diesel exhaust is a human carcinogen and considering these ships burn extremely dirty fuel, Carnival should do everything in their power to keep it from their guests. Why rent the rooms if it's a known issue that's been happening for a long time according to my stateroom attendant? It seems like they didn't really care at all about that aspect here either. Extreme paint thinner smell was coming through the vents on my May 2 Carnival Miracle cruise as well and they did nothing but move people who complained then completely shut the air off without telling the guests anything.

Is this what the kids call "rolling coal"?

People were laid around like nothing was going on.

Carnival is trash. It’s nothing more than people who can barely afford a cruise drinking for days on end.
