Holiday Spirit on the Spirit
"The dining room food was good, and came out pretty fast (more on service later).I do want to note that sometimes the options offered at the buffet at night were the same options offered at the dining room, so if you don't feel like sitting through table service, the buffet may have a similar selection...."Read More

Review for a Caribbean - Southern Cruise on Carnival Spirit

2-5 Cruises • Age 40s

Our cruise included 6 adults, 4 of witch are seniors, and 3 children, ages 6,12,15. We had an early check-in and were on the ship around 10:30. The room would be available around 2:00. The pools were available, the water slides opened at 12:00, and food was available at several places. We picked this cruise ship for a couple reasons, first activities for the kids, 2 water slides, one for young ...

8th carnival’s cruise

I’ve been on over 13 cruises Carnival is the most that I’ve been on. I’ve been on Norwegian royal Caribbean carnival, but I’m looking to go on another cruise for next year again. So I’m looking for a new adventure. I enjoyed the cruise this time after Covid. I’ve noticed a lot of things have changed for the better. The signing up for the breakfast through the phone waiting on your table for the ...

Poor condition of ship/smoking areas

Review for a Caribbean - Eastern Cruise on Carnival Spirit

Finntheperson
2-5 Cruises • Age 50s

Ship needs upgrade, my previous cruise on norwegian was on a newly renovated ship with good layout so this ship's condition seemed like real eyesore to me. I will say that the food is better than on Norwegian. Also do not like layout of the Spirit. Common areas too few and very smoky. Could not escape the smoking areas. SMOKING AREAS!! Too many and could not visit 2nd or 3rd floor without ...

Nice older ship

I felt the need to write a review of the Carnival Spirit because of so many negative ones I've read. Let me start out by saying I AM a seasoned cruiser. Been on over 20 cruisers. The Spirit is a older ship but easy to navigate and at full capacity doesn't feel crowded at all. This ship is NOT for kids!!!! People need to do their homework before booking or book with a experienced travel agt. There ...

Better than Expected

Review for a Caribbean - Southern Cruise on Carnival Spirit

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

This was our first post-covid cruise. We weren't expecting much because the reviews that we had read were pretty bad. Our experience, however, proved to be very pleasant, To begin with, embarkation was a breeze. The system of timing your arrival seems to be working very well. We boarded without lines and were pleased to find that the muster station procedure no longer interferes with ...

If I had one phrase to describe my trip on the Carnival Spirit, I would say "so-so." Overall, I would say that if you are traveling with kids, this is certainly not the ship I would spend my money on. Also, if you want solid entertainment and engaging and fun activities throughout the day, this is also not the ship for you. I will break this review up into parts so it's easier to read for those of ...

Much better than I expected based on the reviews

Review for a Caribbean - Southern Cruise on Carnival Spirit

Tim57
10+ Cruises • Age 60s

The Spirit is an older ship and a smaller ship than the new ships being produced these days. I enjoyed the ship and never felt like I was living in the past. The decor in places is odd, to say the least, but something I got over in about 10 minutes. The only places it really was obvious was the main theatre done in an Egyptian motif and an inside walkway/lounge around the front of the ship that ...

Quiet getaway

We to cruise in early Dec to relax between the holidays. This cruise was a quiet and peaceful trip as they normally are for us this time of year. Food was good everywhere we ate and we enjoyed the new to us Chopsticks. Only one slow night in MDR, first formal night, which can be expected. The service was good everywhere onboard esp. our stateroom attendant . Only complaint we heard was about the ...

A few not so good things, but overall everything was good.

We decided on this cruise because it was going to Puerto Rico (one of our favorites) and we had never been to Grand Turk. We enjoyed our wait and housekeeping staff as they were all very friendly and helpful. Very much enjoyed the rock shows and the getaway island show. Comedians were so/so. Movie nights were nice with a great selection of movies. The one thing that really bothered us is they ...
