So this was my 4th cruise.(all on carnival). I didn't really enjoy my first 3 cruises but my idea really wanted to go. I have been to the long Beach terminal on all 4 trips and never had an major issues with the staff until this trip. When arriving , I was surprised when told i had to drive offsite to downtown long Beach to park, ($80 prepaid btw), and take a shuttle back. This took about an hour ...

There are only 2 small pools in the carnival panorama and were NOT heated pools. My kids were really disappointed with the pools and none of us enjoyed the pools at all despite how small and dirty the pools were. The foods were just average, MDR foods presentation were soso, but at least MDR was the only place I was willing to have dinner, not much choice. I didn't want to eat their buffet at ...

I can't speak for Carnival as a whole, so I'm going to base this review entirely Carnival Paranoma Route - Long Beach to Mexico on Dec 23-30th, 2023. This is the first time on Carnival cruise and it took our whole family by a surprise, and I mean not in a good way...I'm going to break down the reviews in different categories. *Food & Services* 2/5 This is seriously the most disappointing ...

This was a little pre-holiday getaway on the Carnival Radiance. I wasn't expecting much, but it was better than I expected. That said, there were some good and some bad. I'll try to leave a comprehensive review. The itinerary: Just meh. Catalina was the highlight of the two ports. It looks very Mediterranean from the ship. Ensenada was less than picturesque. Neither offers much in the ...

This is my second cruise. My first experience cruising was not the best, however this time was amazing! The staff was very nice and attentive. They even new our names and addressed us as such. There can be a little wait to get a drinks, however it goes by really fast. Every food place that we tried was good. I especially enjoyed the Seafood Shack and Big Chicken as well as the Italian restaurant ...

Selected the cruise for the ship, dates and cost. The Miracle is an older ship with a smaller guest size than the newer ships. The ship is well maintained for the most part but there are some issues to be aware of. Embarkation was a little convoluted but not a problem. We were going to be parking the port and received an email about the parking structure at the pier which was not going to ...

We recently moved to Arizona and are taking advantage of cruises out of Long Beach CA since we can drive. We did a week long cruise Super Bowl week this year (Mexican Riviera) that was awesome so tried a shorter cruise to Catalina island and Ensenada. Carnival was running a good deal with a $500 credit so we chose an oceanview room on level 2 that was $499 before taxes and fees. It’s our first ...

Horrible cruise! We call it the cruise from Hell. Broken propulsion system AGAIN on this ship!!! We had high anxiety and stress the entire week. They set sail knowing the ship couldn’t reach maximum speed and cancelled ports before we even left Long Beach. Crookedest stunt ever to not announce it before we boarded. Give us a choice to get our money back 100%!! Some of us flew from the midwest and ...

I will start with a quick summary of our cruise and then break it down into sections with more detail. First, a little about us, we are an easy going family of four including two kids aged 8 and 11. We have been on nine Carnival cruises as a family so we are pretty experienced cruisers. Quick summary: Panorama is a very nice ship with lots of amenities, activities, and entertainment to keep ...
