I did ask them to move us to a different room. The first time, they said they would check and see if they could do so. They never got back to me and I called them the next day complaining again and asking to be moved when they informed me that the ship was at full capacity. They instructed me to contact customer service after the cruise which is exactly what I did. Customer service doesn't care, this was only a means to make sure I didn't cause a scene on the cruise. They never intended to compensate me or anything.

I am a frequent cruiser, so I have smelled this before. In fact, I won't say it's common, but I will say it does happen from time to time on cruise ships. It seems to be worse when the ship is not moving, almost as though the gases get backed up in the pipes. Luckily, I have never had the problem in my room, but I have smelled it in hallways before. If that smell was in my room, I know it would be difficult to bear. It's nauseating.
My question is, I know you said they didn't offer to move you, but did you ask? In fact, did you demand it? What was their excuse? Full ship? If they were unable to accomodate moving you, they should have done something to compensate for that smell.
Your after action with them denying the smell sounds like typical Carnival Customer Service.
