Carnival Caribbean Cruise Reviews

Our previous 8 cruises have been with Princess and have been mostly pleased with each one. This time we decided to try Carnival due our short drive from Houston to Galveston to catch the cruise as well as the 4-day cruise option offered by Carnival Valor. (Dec 22-26, 2017) Overall, we were very disappointed with the cruise. It started out on the wrong foot. We had purchased the Faster To Fun ...

This first time cruise was a Christmas gift from my mother to the family (nine of us took the cruise). It was nothing like I imagined, oh my gosh I cried the last night of the trip bc I was truly going to miss the staff. They were amazing and made us feel like royalty. Their service and behavior looked like they loved their job ( even if they didn't, a person wouldn't be able to tell). We felt ...

We had a small window of time in which this cruise fit perfectly. Our 18 and 20 year old (young adult) children accompanied us. Separate cabins 7 AFT 12/28/17-12/31/17. We live in Florida and cruise often. We have been on Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Princess, and Norwegian. Also, Disney when the kids we younger and even 'The Big Red Boat'...This itinerary was only to Nassau as expected, but the ...

This was our first family cruise. We chose Carnival Elation as the dates and location worked for us. We flew from Toronto to Jacksonville and stayed at Jacksonville Plaza. Their shuttle was half the price of that offered through Carnival. Our room was tight with four. I traveled with three children: 15, 20 and 23. Two rooms was not an option due to children's ages as at least one person per ...

We really enjoyed how friendly and helpful the crew was on this holiday cruise. From BK's inspiring Christmas service to the kind smile and patience of our cabin steward Imade, the attitude of the crew was familial and polite. I was glad to see Santa as soon as we stepped on to the ship and I loved seeing the grinch dancing with the Fun Squad at the deck party on our first night. We enjoyed that ...

This was a belated honeymoon and I firmly believe when someone delivers excellent service, they must be recognized. We can't speak highly enough about Kishor; he knew our names and drinks and was always happy, personable, and would bend over backwards to help us. He truly loves his job and it shows. I also want to recognize Ruby Finck in the salon who gave me a vanilla deep conditioner treatment ...

6 day-Easter Caribbean Room 6363, 8A Balcony Overall Rating of The Cruise 4 out of 5 Embarkation: This is the second half of a B2B Cruise. After visiting TSA in baggage area, the escalators were reversed and 27 of us made our way back thru the tunnel and boarded the ship. In the atrium Carnival had a picture made with all of us and provided an open bar for about 15 minutes prior to the ...

This was our 17th cruise. We (my wife and I only on this trip) drove to Miami from Orlando. Left our car with our daughter, which made it easy overall. Took an Uber to the port. This was our first to the Miami ports. Boarding was incredibly fast. From the time we handed our luggage outside to getting to the Lido deck, it took about 12 minutes. We had read reviews about the color schemes of the ...

To start with embarkation was a little disorganized but did not take an excessive amount of time. We chose 1:00 to 1:30 arrival time which I recommend. They seem to stick to the schedule at this port. We were able to go straight to our cabins without purchasing FTTF. The Buffet was not crowded at this time either. My only complaint on the Conquest was that our steward was not as ...
