Carnival Encounter is heading into dry dock and passengers have A LOT to say. After analysing over 200 real cruiser comments, clear themes emerged: free soft serve 🍦, free pizza 🍕, Guy’s Burgers 🍔… but also some major technical concerns including plumbing issues, broken theatre seating, air-conditioning problems and the infamous “Deck 7 smell.” Is this just a cosmetic refresh? Or does Carnival need to address deeper mechanical issues?

Can Carnival Encounter return stronger — or is she overdue for something bigger? Let’s talk about it.
