We took this cruise because of the Casino promotion made it a deal difficult to pass. We had no high expectations. We usually cruise with Royal Caribbean, and the only other Carnival cruise (the one that gave us the casino promotion) was horrible. But actually it was an awesome cruise! Entertainment was fantastic - much better than on RC Adventure of the seas or NCL Escape. And the Magic is ...
Fifth cruise with their company(Carnival, Princess, Holland America) in past seven years. Will never cruise with any of them again. Changed our itinerary without notice causing difficulty for friends who travelled 900 miles to meet us at the omitted port. If they would have advised us of a change in itinerary, we could have cancelled our cruise or our friends could have made different ...
Traveled as a Family with older children. 24, 21, 18, and 15
I would not recommend families with small children. There are not enough activities for younger children. There were too many people and not enough staff in the right places. There was little organization in the embarking and disembarking at ports and activities for the number of people on the ship. The crew did not appear happy to ...
I chose this cruise for the value it provided at the time. It was a decent price for all that was supposed to be included.
However, once boarding, that value vanished. My party included my wife (32) and daughter (2) and I (31). All three of us hated it.
First, our room was little more than a closet with a Queen Sized King bed which was supposed to be enough space four four people they ...
Sailed on what was two prior Covid cancellations. I have platinum status with Carnival and NCL. Compensation for the cancelled Carnival cruises was very good onboard credits with optional free beverage packages. Embarkation was a nightmare even with people coming at their appointment time. Lines went from outdoors to inside, back outside, before you were anywhere near Screening. Carnival ...
I told my wife it was as if Carnival pulled the ship up to Walmart, lowered the gangway and shouted " Ok, get on."
This is my ninth cruise, the second with my wife and the first with my twin, 12 yr old girls. We left out of NYC. I have never seen a more crowded ship in my entire life. I have no idea how Carnival can expect to accommodate 3200 guests in just two very small pools, pools no ...
Carnival Splendor Alaska
June 28- July 5, 2022
This was our 3rd attempt at a honeymoon cruise since the pandemic started. We booked this cruise to Alaska because it stopped at Skagway that had the train excursion. After our vacation dates were approved and set, we were notified that the port of calls had changed and we were no longer stopping there.
I then started the process with ...
I was satisfied with the food, the cheifs table was great , our room and room service was great and the comedy show was great every thing else worst the worst it was very boring the music was the worst I've ever seen on any cruise I felt like I was a senior retirement cruise everything was chartered to Caucasians. The employees were very Nonchalant. I will never visit this ship or recommend ...
My husband and I had cruised once before on carnival. We wanted to try cruising with our boys 17 and 13 to see if they liked it with the goal of doing a European cruise next summer. This cruise I booked prior to covid and have rebooked and rescheduled many times.
The food and service is exceeded expectations. We ate breakfast and dinner in the dining room all but a couple of times. There were ...
July Seattle to Alaska Cruise, purchase through Costco.
This proved not to be a good experience for me or my teenage daughters. The food was fine, and was the main "activity" on this boat. There are two water slides, which the girls tried day one before leaving Seattle. They had to butt scoot. They don't really slide. Then otherwise too cold to use. Main pool area has smoking section. ...
