Agreed. Wife and I were astonished the exterior of the ship looked that way.
Pre-Covid, we would routinely sail on Carnival Imagination and Inspiration out of Long Beach (before they were retired). Those were older ships yet did not ever look this bad. Granted some rust but not to the level of all-around bad as seen in this video.
Almost seemed like they are running at a 75% staffing level.
But I thought the interior looked great. Low ceilings don't bother me and the rest of the ship looked nice enough I guess.
