Our experience with Carnival was very good, that's why we decided to go on 10 Days cruise around Pacific Islands - march 2023.
Cabin, food, restaurants, was all as we would remember from the previous experience.
Entertaiment, however - very poor, nothing good, boring and cheap.
We purchased an apple watch (another remainder to ourselves - not to buy staff like this on the ...

We originally booked this cruise back in 2019, but it got cancelled because of the pandemic. We booked again but our cruise got cancelled 3 more times. Finally, we were able to take this cruise from Sydney, Australia. The first thing I noticed when boarding is the ship is VERY pink. But that didn't bother me, I thought it added to the experience. You enter the ship via the massive, breathtaking ...
We went as a family celebration with 12 people. The cabins were large enough with ocean view on deck 2. However, there is only ONE electrical outlet in the ENTIRE cabin. In today's age of electronics with 2 or more guests in a cabin, this is ridiculous. I have sailed MANY times on multiple cruise lines and this was a big shock. Always have had outlets in bathroom and a few more in cabin.
No ice ...
We give this 2 stars an here why
1. The food was disgusting You had to wait in line for almost an hour to get your food .
2. The entertainment was very poor They had very few activities.
3. The drinks for water down and the can drinks for a flat! The alcohol was fantastic
4. Carnival valor we overcrowded they started to run out of food three days in to our cruise
5. There was no ...
This is my 7th cruise on Carnival. All of them from Galveston as we live just north of Houston. I actually think this is my last Carnival Cruise. I've followed the Video Bloggers and I'm up to date on the price increases and service decreases but unless you have been cruising before I don't think you will notice it but for someone who has been on 15 different cruises II noticed it right away. ...
We stayed in a Spa cabin (12009) and although the balcony was on the wrong side for the beach view at Grand Turk, the view at Amber Cove was amazing! From our door, The Fitness Center was only about 30 ft away and just inside was a cold water fountain (including a faucet for water bottles) with the best tasting water on the boat. The only noise issue with the cabin was one morning at 4:30 am, for ...
We chose this cruise because of dates, location, and itinerary. The Carnival Magic appeared very run down. Lots of rust and flaking paint. Our cabin with balcony was fine. Lido deck was fine.
The main issue is Carnival taking the "magic" out of the dining room experience at night. We have cruised over 25 years and have seen a steady decline in that experience. Tablecloths and multiple ...
My husband and I had booked this cruise last year but due to the boat catching fire, it was canceled and refunded and a free cruise was given to use before May of 2023. We chose to do the freedom. This is our first carnival cruise but not our first cruise. The staff was friendly for the most part but not exceptionally friendly and we did tip in addition to pre paid gratuities. Our room steward, ...
We were so excited for this cruise since we hadn’t been on one since 2019 (which was on the Breeze). Embarkation was a breeze (no pun intended). Our stateroom was fine. Everything worked + our Steward was attentive. We enjoyed our excursions + the final comedy show in the Ovaiton theater. Now to what was BAD: the food + sanitation!
We should’ve known the food would be terrible when we saw the ...
