Carnival Caribbean Cruise Reviews

I have cruised Carnival before and did not have issues but I have never booked excursions or room decor before so maybe this is standard. I ordered birthday decorations which they sold me but “ran out of” even though I ordered well in advance and had I known prior I could have brought decorations. Also booked an excursion, got the tickets then the night before got a cancellation notice. No real ...

This was not my 1st cruise with Carnival, but it may be my last. I know this ship isn't the newest, but I stayed on older and smaller ones in the past that put this to shame! The Food- It was terrible, from the scramble egg soup in the morning all the way to the tougher than leather "Prime Rib" at dinner. It was bad. The buffet was the same food they served at dinner. Just somehow worse. I ...

Embarking on the Carnival Cruise from Tampa, Florida, from March 10th to March 16th, 2024, was an unforgettable experience that exceeded all expectations. The highlight of our journey was the exceptional service provided by our stateroom attendant, Antara. His attention to detail, warmth, and dedication to ensuring our comfort made our stay on the Carnival ship truly special. Moreover, the ...

TL/DR: Enjoyable week on Carnival Horizon, with pros being cruise director, Paradise Beach Club, Production shows, and free food; Cons: buffet food, MDR food, and guests can get rowdy/loud/rude, especially as the week goes on. My wife, daughter and friend (all adults) went on the 6 night Western Caribbean sailing on Horizon out of Miami in March. Overall, we enjoyed the cruise, but left the ...

My parents and I have been cruising with carnival now for quite a few years all 3 of us being platinum members this was my 26th cruise and my parents 35th now seeing carnival has started to nickel and dime for every single little thing a lot has changed from our perspective and you’d think the last people you’d want to short are your loyal guests who are frequent return cruisers highly considering ...

I have traveled with Carnival many times, but this time was ridiculous and dissatisfying from the moment we boarded to the day we left. To start, our bags never arrived. We had to go to deck eight to guest service to see where our bags were. They were over by the elevators with other bags, which was so unfortunate. Then, no one helped us take them to our cabin! On the third day, breakfast took ...

I went on this cruise with my family, we are first time cruisers, and this experience left us discouraged and very disappointed. Entertainment was lackluster. Sea days were mostly boring for me and my husband. If you're not a drinker/partier you will find there is not much this ship has to offer really. The pool areas are silly. One small pool, in the middle of one huge crowd. The pools are also ...

This is one HUGE cruise ship. We specifically sailed on this ship for our cruise, even though we had already traveled to all the ports of call. Pros: Cabin- we traveled with 2 adults and 1 child. Upgraded balcony room on deck 10. Balcony was huge with 2 chairs, end table, and large lounge chair for sunbathing. We will be forever spoiled with this balcony for future cruises. Rooms have ...

Close to home, convenience. Florin, at Java Blue coffee was wonderful. He deserves a raise. No matter how long his lines were, he was always pleasant and ready to tell a joke. He also remembered names! Family did a great job keeping our rooms tidy and to bring whatever we needed or wanted. Lizzie, the Cruise Director, was super engaging and upbeat. She is a super find. The food is mediocre, but ...

The steak house was fantastic little pricey but worth it the buffet needs work. Went on 2 excursions 1st too the myan ruins lots of walking and climbing so if you have back or leg issues I don't recommend, 2 vip Beach trip well worth the money food and staffing just fantastic. Spa was great got the body scrub and massage lasted 50 minutes. Karaoke was a blast everyone there was very supportive of ...
