Carnival Cruise Reviews

We haven't been on a cruise in 3 yrs and not a Carnival one in 5 yrs. We received a nice offer for a Suite cabin from the Players Club. Food: Guy's burger joint was very good. Two different dinner waiters were great. Casino: Dealers could use some help. Consider getting rid of your bonus bet on the craps table. 4 minutes between each roll was lame. Our cocktail server in the casino was ...

We selected this cruise for several reasons 1) Casino Rate $100 pp for the week, 2) Anniversary, 3) Did not have to fly and 4) NCL doesn't sail in the summer to Mexico. We are seasoned cruisers with 70 past cruises with various lines, we are Platinum with Carnival. Embarkation - Easy checking in to the ship. We arrived 40 minutes prior to our slotted time and quickly checked in. ...

We just got back from sailing on the Carnival Breeze June 16th with our family of 5. The embarkation was great but that is the only positive thing about this cruise ship. The food was absolutely terrible. Pigs Anchor is only open from 11:30-1:30. Blue Iguana is only open 2 hours for breakfast and 2 hours for lunch. The food in the main dining room is already precooked so they just warm it up ...

The Paradise ship is very outdated, not ADA compliant in all areas and has an awful odor. (Smelled like wet dog or throw up). I was VERY disappointed! This was on my 82 yr old mom’s bucket list so you can imagine my dissatisfaction. The dinners each night were ok but nothing to brag about. Very small portions and seconds were not offered. The excursions are pricey and not anything special. ...

Just returned from 4 night cruise to Cozumel on the Valor from New Orleans. This was my 4th Carnival cruise. The 1st 3 were wonderful but I was very disappointed with this one. I’m a 45y/o woman traveling with 3 teenagers celebrating their high school graduation. My biggest complaint was the lack of air conditioning in our cabin. We were on the 8th deck with a balcony. We noticed the heat as ...

This was my husband's first ever cruise and it was my 5th cruise. This was the worst cruise experience I have ever had and an absolutely terrible experience for my first time cruiser husband. Some of the items on this extensive list may be nitpicky to some, but as one thing after another went wrong or were well below expectations due to previous cruises with Carnival and other cruise lines, we ...

While the actual cruise was very good, i was apalled when i arrived at terminal 3 in tampa and saw the hundreds of passengers crowded into the terminal with no distance and about 1/3 (if that, and that included the staff) wearing masks and that was for the 11:00 am arrival time. How did that time frame be for all the people that were in the terminal? While i do realize that we now do not have ...

I was on one of the very first cruises on the Panorama in January 2020. It was such a totally amazing cruise I was afraid that this cruise would not measure up, especially since it was my DH last cruise. Also, I've been on other cruises since sailing restarted after the pandemic, and find that it is a different experience, although not a better one. Until this cruise... Being this was an ...

We decided to go on this Cruise as a family ,nine of us went together, the ship was not what we expected there was not really much to do they did have some shows and things but for the most part while we were on the water it was boring they did offer a lot of food but the food in the dining room and in the buffet area honestly was kind of nasty some of it was good but a lot of it was not very good ...

I normally would never take the time to go and complain about a cruise but I WISH someone would have warned me about the food situation on this boat. THERE ARE ONLY 2 BUFFET LINES FOR THE ENTIRE BOAT. Granted there are other venues but even these lines are just ABSURD. Twice we just settled on the pay for meals restaurants so we could ACTUALLY EAT. PS The Bonsai Sushi is REALLY GOOD AND WORTH ...
