Carnival Alaska Cruise Reviews

This review is late, but necessary. This was our first cruise, and it was a wonderful experience. Evening dining and casual buffets offered plenty to fill up on. However, the buffet bars, should have stayed open longer. We were very satisfied with our room, and our cabin steward was friendly and very accommodating. The Activity Director was a hoot, and we enjoyed the entertainment. All crew ...

Weeks prior to boarding the ship, I was apprehensive due to the massive flood of negative reviews of the ship. Poor food, atrocious public spaces, dated facilities, just to name a few. When we boarded, I was relieved to find out that the ship itself was presentable. Sure, it lacked all the bells and whistles of the newer Carnival ships, but it had its own charms that came with a smaller mid-sized ...

Balcony cabin was sad. The chairs on the balcony were stained and yellow. The bed was so uncomfortable. Mattress needs replaced. The food was just bland and room temperature. The buffet on the lido deck was small and the ice machines were always broken. Watching everyone uses the same scoop over and over to get ice out of a plastic container was nasty. The dining room staff seemed ...

We picked this cruise because my brother is local and didn't want to fly. It fit nicely into our tight schedule and I thought it would be fun for my 30 something niece. I had read that it had undergone a refurbishment last fall, so I was shocked that the room didn't seem to have any upgrades. It actually seemed like a floating Motel 6 and they don't have any body lotion or conditioner in the ...

My recent cruise aboard the Carnival Luminosa was a mixed experience, marred by a significant issue that unfortunately affected our enjoyment throughout the trip. While there were several positive aspects to highlight, the persistent smell of cigarettes in our room proved to be a major inconvenience and detriment to our overall experience. Firstly, I must commend the Carnival Luminosa's staff ...

I have been on 25 cruises or more, and have cruised with most cruise lines. The carnival Luminoso was the worst cruise ship I have ever been on. The rooms were dated which I could live with and the room steward was very nice and did introduce himself to us. The food was sub par and so disappointing that my son and I actually lost weight during the cruise. The buffet was like a cafeteria type ...

I booked the grand vista suite on this cruise because it was offered to me as a last minute upgrade. I have never been more dissatisfied with a decision in my life. The boat is dated quite badly, the room steward took 7 times asked to bring a simple wine opener. You would never know you were a suite guest by the way they treated you. The only reason the cruise wasn’t a disaster was the ports, ...

We chose this cruise for our first time to Alaska. Many activities and shows everyday. We went to all the music shows, game shows, and some of the comedy shows. Beautiful small ship even though it's older. I would give 5 stars but the Lido dining is a nightmare. Not enough room to sit at breakfast or lunch. During the Tracy Arm Fjord Day, some passengers got up early and planted themselves at the ...

We recently embarked on an unforgettable journey to Alaska from San Francisco with Carnival Miracle Cruise. From the moment we stepped onboard, the warm and welcoming crew made our experience exceptional. The ship offered a wealth of activities, delectable dining options, and captivating entertainment, leaving no room for boredom. The cabins were clean and in excellent condition. My niece, a ...

We booked a group cruise with family and friends during the anniversary sale last year and were able to find a great price for two connecting balcony rooms for our family of 5. The cabin location was perfect, toward the aft of the ship, but close to the elevators. We loved the Spirit - it's a smaller, older ship but well maintained and everything was close. The elevators were all working and ...
