Carnival Caribbean Cruise Reviews

We choose the Dream because it was the biggest and closest ship to us. Perfect timing for the holiday while the kids were out of school and very inexpensive. Our cabin steward and waiter staff were great. There was so much to do and eat on the ship that we didn’t get a chance to experience it all so most likely we’ll try to make it up on our next cruise. The excursions were great. Key West ...

We are in our early 40s and went on the Thanksgiving cruise with our two kids, who were out of school with all the other kids :). Long, detailed – sorry. We have been on 9 other cruise (the kids – 1 had been on 2 others and the other 1 other), all on NCL (so review with comparisons). We selected Carnival, so that we could drive to Galveston and not have to buy 4 plane tickets. NCL has sailed from ...

Overall I would say that Carnival Pride delivered on my recent cruise. We choose to leave out of Baltimore because it is close to home. Not Carnivals fault but our Ship was delayed due to weather. We had a 4 hour time delay. This would have been okay but NO ONE listened to the add 4 hours to your time instructions and everyone showed up whenever they wanted making the check in process a ...

Embarking and disembarking in Miami were both very fast and efficient. The food was good, but below average for a cruise. The cabin was average. The service was excellent, but I've never had anything but excellent service on a cruise. The activities were poor, primarily because most of the ones I would have liked to attend were held at the smoke filled Casino Bar. This is the same on ...

I liked the cruise director from a previous journey cruise and he said he was going tvista. The Vista is the newest big boat and I wanted to experience it. Wow a lot of passengers and boarding at Miami was lets just say 'clugey' There was a new system of check in. Now the ship in all is pretty standard for new carnival ships but the lay out is way different. The open spaces are all ...

For what it is worth here is my review of the Glory beginning 11/18/17 and ending 11/25/17. If you want a Cliff’s notes version we had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the cruise. We celebrated our 25th anniversary in August and this cruise was a continuation of that celebration. Myself, 59, and DW, 51, were the only ones in our party (yay!) and we definitely needed this cruise since the ...

Well, This is not the Cruise that was chosen. Everything was rerouted after the Hurricanes so off to the West we went. Being a Platinum member, this is the first time on the Magic Usually I go on the smaller ships out of Jacksonville because I live an hour away and its easy to get a last minute trip. I was a little worried with so many passengers, would I feel crowded? Would it feel like ...

The food was great -- steaks were amazing! Our wait staff was super busy, but continued to be attentive to our needs. The ship is beautiful and well kept. Our granddaughters and family were with us and the girls had lots of fun participating in youth activities. We took the trolley in Key West, toured Hemingway House and ate Key Lime pie at Kermit's (a must!). We were sad to see that the ...

Late booking before a holiday week, four ports of call and weather were determining factors for this cruise selection. Initial embarkation at the terminal was horrible. Our driver dropped us off at the wrong terminal which wouldn't have been so bad if the luggage attendants at the terminal had not been arguing and fighting for the next passenger to exploit for tips. All their arguing and ...

Embarkation: really no complaints, was able to register at miami airport and walked right on the ship. room wasn't ready, so we grabbed something to eat on the lido deck. Ship: there are simply just too many people on this ship. Everything we wanted to do there was a line for. We were fine with taking the stairs if elevators were always full. they cramped all these people on this ship (just ...
