Carnival Ensenada Cruise Reviews

I must say this had to be the most ghetto cruise I've been on. My husband and I went with the travel agent we've used before. The trip was titled "Superbowl Cruise." We did not know until a couple of weeks prior to the trip that there were only 80 people in our group. That meant the rest of the ship would have passengers not of our group. This was okay. I requested that we have a room higher than ...

This is my second time on the Spirit but my first time to Hawaii. I had read what others said about embarkation from Ensenada and after speaking to three different Carnival reps via phone (and getting 3 different pieces of information), I was sure my mother and I would have no problems with embarkation. WRONG!!!!! To begin with, Carnival sent out the tickets and then sent out a second set. I ...

12 nt cruise from San Francisco to Alaska and back to SF (May 8 - 20) Was our 3rd Celebrity cruise, others being on Mercury and Galaxy. Celebrity has maintained their excellent service and value, even in this age of fuel costs, etc. They are to be commended for doing a superbe job (especially noticeable, given our recent negative experience on a 12 nt Carnival Spirit cruise to Hawaii in Apr ...

Overview -- Itinerary for this cruise includes considerable at-sea time along with a relatively large number of ports-of-call. The cruise is available at a relatively low price and is on a medium to large, modern cruise ship offering undistinguished service, meals, and entertainment. Background -- This was the fifth cruise for my wife and me; this time celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. ...

First allow me to say that reading the reviews on this site helped prepare us for our cruise on Carnival Spirit a few weeks ago. We were married in February of 2006 and we spent our honeymoon on a cruise to Mexico with Carnival. We had such a great time, we immediately began looking for another deal and found the cruise to Hawaii. We were well-prepared for the shuttle experience from San Diego ...

We arrived at San Diego and checked in with no problems. We were told to be back at the pier by 4:00 p.m. to be bussed to Ensenada. They even ran free shuttles to and from a nearby shopping area. San Diego was nice and we had a pleasant day, but were anxious to get on the ship by 4:00 p.m. About 5:00 p.m., we got on the busses with no problem and went down to Ensenada. After arriving in Ensenada ...

We arrived at San Diego a day early. no problems checking in early at the Marriott on Harbor Drive. What a pretty place and wonderful room. We knew up front that embarkation was going to be bad and CCL did not disappoint us. It was truly terrible. However we were bus no 8 to leave S.D. and we had a bus driver that was in a big hurry so we passed everything on the road we could. Boy some of those ...

This is a review of the April 17 to 29th, 2005 sailing of the Carnival Spirit cruising to Hawaii. My husband and I flew from Detroit to San Diego a day before the cruise in order to make sure we were at least on the right side of the continent before this trip started. We had been dreading one feature of this trip, the journey from San Diego to Ensenada, Mexico which is where we would be allowed ...

Just returned from a 12 day cruise to Hawaii on the Carnival Spirit. I am a retired law enforcement officer, my wife is in the insurance industry. We traveled with our two friends from previous cruises, Allen & Karen. We ranged in age from 48 to early 60's. This was our 8th cruise, and the 5th on Carnival. We have been on the Norwegian Majesty, RCCL Sovereign of the Sea, Carnival Imagination, ...

This was my first cruise and also my honeymoon trip. Overall I was very happy too many complaints about this cruise. However, if you are a person who is more sensitive to cold temperatures (like me) you might want to bring a few light sweaters and long pants/skirts with you. For the first few days at sea after leaving Ensenada, the weather was overcast and cold; even after it warmed up as we ...
