I pay for a cruise that was inclusive of F&B. Within minutes of getting on board Carnival charges $280 to my credit card. No bottled water only fountains, and a can of soda was $2.50 plus 15% tax. Photos taken by carnival of my family wwere sold to me at $21 dollars per photo. The food was horrible and the light on my balcony cabin was out for the entire 7 day cruise (despite my call to change it..) These fees are ridiculous. at the end of my cruise I still owed carnival over $500 dollars. I'd rather go to a hotel next time.
