Food was over cooked same thing every time and just got spicier as it went on. Over crowded by 1500. Most of the crew had covid and walked around without masks by the most guest had it and the way you get treated by them after telling them so dont tell them you caught covid! Don't have enough staff in upstairs restaurants and way too many in the lower deck in the upper you were a lucky one if you ...

The Room; Very average 3 star hotel with uncomfortable beds that vibrate the brains out of your spine due to the low speed of the cruise; Dear Carnival anchor the boat from 23:00-0700 save the fuel, and let people rest in peace. I booked a balcony room. No ironing board in room No self service laundry The ship; Very limited dining options compared to Legend. The only ...

We chose Carnival as my daughter had been on a previous cruise with them. The staff were so welcoming and fantastically helpful. Rosalyn our stewardess and all the other staff especially Frederico, Glenn, and so many others were unbelievably helpful with our everyday and dining experience. There didn't seem to be anything too difficult for them to assist and provide us with. The food was ...

Luminosa is a mid-sized ship by today's standards; we found it generally clean and well-maintained. There was a small amount of vibration in places but very little engine or exhaust noise as found on other ships we have been on. It seems like a quiet, solid ship although we had very calm sailing and couldn't assess her stability. We found the air conditioning a bit cold for comfort in some ...

The cruise was a good value for monry. Positives: easy embarkation and disembarkation, well oganised tender to the shore, night shows were just OK. Disapointments: adult pool at the back was dirty, you could see residual oil on the handels of the entry steps, water very salty, I took shower as soon as I left the pool, never went back again. Buffet on level 9, one side of buffet was getting colsed ...

I would personally not recommend Carnival to any of my family or friends. Entering a holiday spending over $2000 on accomodation and food to be underwhelming let down has left a distasteful stench in my mouth. The buffet is revolting so I attempted to eat at the restaurant hoping for better quality. To which I was again let down with a microwaved sirloin steak. Upon departing Airlie beach, guests ...

My husband & I travelled with 8 other friends. Overall, we had a great time BUT we didn't walk away with raving reviews. Our cabin was clean and our bed was comfortable. The staff were very attentive and polite. This is obviously a very important feature. The entertainment was great. The theme nights were a lot of fun. The decor on this ship is compared to a sensory nightmare. The ...

Make sure NEVER to book this cruise ship or you'll have the worst time ever!!! Save yourself from spending money and get nothing in return. I booked this cruise to celebrate my birthday with my 2 boys 12 and 14 years old. I made sure to book a spa room and a balcony room so bear in mind i spent more than the average to ensure comfort. To start with, the only pool they could use was small and ...

Well not sure where to begin, planned this holiday for my family in fact 16 of us which was a total of 6 cabins. We were all excited to go even though we had read some not great reviews. I decided to still go ahead ( worst decision) The food buffet was the worst i had ever experienced (been on many cruises now). The evening meal wasn’t to bad at all after the first night we had to complain as ...

Overall the ship was really nice the staff were excellent, however the food was terrible, up at the Buffett it was hit or miss, either dried out and cold or over cooked so much it was uneatable.The toasted sandwich bar was good but always that busy you had to stand in a line for twenty minutes. The old fashion BBQ now that was a joke always dried out and cold.The main restaurant had some good ...
