Carnival Tampa Cruise Reviews

We were thrilled by the first sight of the great old girl, the Paradise, a grand lady! For us, this was jaw-dropping decadence. Everything was so clean and well kept! Our cabin was small, but plenty roomy for us. The shower was hot and the water pressure was fantastic. Our Cabin Steward was Wahyu. He made us feel like we were the most important guests! Every little thing was paid attention to and ...

Please don't get me wrong, I LOVE CARNIVAL CRUISES however, this was the worst one I was ever on.. Where do I begin? This is the smallest ship in the fleet and I brought 10 people on this cruise. We had What they called a junior suite. Junior was not the word for it.. Cabin is no more than a crew cabin with a balcony view. it was tight, tiny and I would never call this a suite of any sort. ...

Honestly, I chose this cruise for the price and convenience… Tampa is our favorite port to cruise from, close to home, covered parking garage across the street from the port. I booked an inside cabin on the 12th deck about five months ago, after I sent full payment, I read about 30 awful reviews about the ship… I was so disappointed that so many people had such a bad experience… and I was really ...

It is always good to be a sea. Here are a few things I wish I knew on this cruise. PARKING. Its been a few years (and maybe 40 cruises ago) we sailed out of Tampa. Thankfully we were close enough to drive. Frankly it is a bit confusing because the lots near the ship are not ship parking, they are for the aquarium. Do not attempt to park near the ship. The ship parking is a 4 story ...

We chose this cruise because it was best for what we wanted to and see. Our favorite spot was in Cozumel we did the Surf and Turf excursion with Andy and Nacho and I highly recommend you guys give them a try they were absolutely fantastic and the lunch included was amazing! The food on the boat was absolutely perfect, our cabin steward iwoan was so attentive to detail and made sure that what ever ...

We have been in other ships through carnival and the experience was amazing. That was not the case this time. Our room was disgusting. We had blood on the walks, bathroom floors, and bed sheets. The room smelled like mold and the floors were wet/ damp due to the moisture. Bathroom smelled horrible- like a litter box that had not been changed. Mold everywhere. We hit rain on day 2- the ship was ...

This ship is in pretty nice shape for its age. I like the design and lay out. I didn’t like the fact they had no movies at the pool area at night. I always loved the nightly movies at the pool on other ships. The food was really good in comparison to the Pride and the Spirit. Staff was really nice. We enjoyed the trivia and the staff there was amazing! The shows were good. I really enjoyed ...

Got a great offer,our 1st room was extremely loud from the engines,they moved us to a higher floor at center ship...They made up for it by paying our liquor bill...Very happy with there customer service.The only issue with the cabins is that there were no couches or chairs in them,and there was room for them.Guys burgers were amazing and the coffee was great.The other issue was that the pool it ...

My husband and I decided to try a cruise for our 25th anniversary. We had no knowledge of different cruise lines, or age of ships, etc and assumed all cruise lines were basically the same. We chose this particular cruise because of the port of calls; Bimini and Nassau, both of which we wanted to see. On arrival to Tampa, and approaching the cruise terminal, we could see our ship, along with other ...

We chose this cruise for my husband’s birthday for the ports of call- Western Caribbean was a lifelong dream trip. The Odor of cigarettes and Weed was so STRONG It was unbelievable Overcrowded- people were packed like Sardines trying to get into the pool. People were running up and down the hallways all hours of the night yelling. Teenagers were LAYING in the stair wells ( Physically laying ...
