The Spirit is an older ship and a smaller ship than the new ships being produced these days. I enjoyed the ship and never felt like I was living in the past. The decor in places is odd, to say the least, but something I got over in about 10 minutes. The only places it really was obvious was the main theatre done in an Egyptian motif and an inside walkway/lounge around the front of the ship that ...
The discrepancies in pricing are appalling. I'm a senior with a handicap....I was knocked into another guest table by an adolescent running through & playing in the dining area. The room was extremely nasty and dirty the bed sheets and the spread was soiled. Piror guest hair in the bathroom shower, sink and flooring. Toilet was nasty with bowel stains. The nightstand lamp didn't work. Numerous of ...
Fortunately many negative things I read about the ship and Carnival as a cruise company did not happened to be true for us, either Carnival fixed them or we were lucky this time, but I was surprised how well everything organized: we arrived in our designated time range and in 15 min we're on the board having lunch, 1hr later our room is ready, one hour more and our luggage were delivered. ...
If I had one phrase to describe my trip on the Carnival Spirit, I would say "so-so." Overall, I would say that if you are traveling with kids, this is certainly not the ship I would spend my money on. Also, if you want solid entertainment and engaging and fun activities throughout the day, this is also not the ship for you. I will break this review up into parts so it's easier to read for those of ...
We have taken a family Chrismas cruise for many years the daughters can only get away from work for a short time. The food was great really enjoyed the fabulous cuisine. Our room was kept spic and span, the ship was beautiful really nicely set up, service the best as always with the cruise ship industry. Muy dissapointment comes with the lack of croud control, young people running up and down ...
First time on Carnival (RC, Princess & P&O) & first Christmas cruise.
Mum & 2 teens (O2 club); Sister booked a last minute cabin. Knew another family, so linked them to be part of our travel group (for MDR).
Festive displays helped lessen the pink themed public areas (although the decor in the room corridors was nice). Although the MDR is called the golden pearl, it’s hard not to see it ...
Went on this cruise with friends, and had a great time with them. I would say that this cruise was focused on slinging the booze, and serving poor food. The buffet served food without flavor or some dry meat. The buffet lacked variety for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Other options like the wok were never available because of such a long line. Heard one person say, "this wasn't worth the wait." ...
This was an 8-person family cruise (wife, two daughters, son-in-law, three grandsons and myself) onboard the Carnival Paradise last December. My wife and I cruised with Royal Caribbean in December 2021 and were trying to book with them again, but Carnival was the only cruise line that we could get to line up with all our schedules (SIL is active-duty Army, daughters have active careers as well). ...
Well, the kids are young adults now so my wife and I decided to start taking care of us first. I booked a cruise out of Port Canaveral with Carnival. It was our first cruise ever and I booked with Carnival, to be honest, because the fares were the lowest. We took a 6-night Eastern Caribbean Cruise. I watched a bunch of YouTube videos before hand to get some idea of what to expect at each port and ...
Because of the quirks in our vacation schedule, my wife and I, cruise veterans of over 25 voyages on
different lines, decided to take a 3 day voyage on the Carnival Liberty. This cruise was sandwiched
between a 5 day cruise on the brand new Norwegian Prima, and a 7 day cruise on the Celebrity Apex.
You may think in writing this review that (to paraphrase Shakespeare) “I have come to bury ...
