First, absolutely no form of structure. You could wait in a line for an hour, then someone walks straight to the front and the workers don’t care or say anything. The ship was over packed. You couldn’t go to any one the restaurants without waiting 15-30 minutes. You can’t walk around the ship without wedging your way through hoards of people. Everyone seemed to smoke weed as well, so there ...

Hey everyone! I just returned from cruising with Carnival for the first time on the Carnival Sunrise (Sept 15) I am so glad that I did not allow a lot of the negative reviews about the ship alter my decision because I really enjoyed myself. Embarkation : I chose the time frame of 1:00-1:30pm and literally breezed through security with no lines, I can’t speak for other times but if you ...

Over the past 15 or more years, I have gone on over 40 cruises. I can say unequivocally that this was the worst, by far. I don’t want to blame the staff, because except for a few exceptions, they were doing their best. The problem is that Carnival is using the excuse that their potential employees cannot get visas. This may be true. But the issue is not whether or not they have enough staff; the ...

Me and good friend chose this cruise because we had already booked a longer cruise in September and after booking, we just couldn't wait that long!!! We chose the iteniary because we wanted to go to the private island. That was the highlight of the trip. The water was beautiful. Nassau was just ok as we have been there several times before. Senor Frogs was fun to visit as it is always a good ...

Even at reduced capacity, I felt like I spent most of my time waiting for drinks at the bar

Embarkation: My family had a 10:30am-11:00am check-in time. We showed up around 10:50am and the line was non-existent. Check-in was a breeze and we were on the ship in less than 20 minutes from the time we got to the port. Cabin: Oceanview room. Very bad room, I do not recommend it at all. See review below. Cabin steward was ehhh. He never said hi when we passed by him in the hallway, ...

We decided to take a cruise with Carnival Sunrise to celebrate my children's birthday. We booked a Captain Suite expecting to have one of the best cabins in the ship and ended up having the worst space in the ship. The electric blinds were broken, the curtains had holes and missing hooks. The bathroom doors were not working and the bed strings were breaking our backs. The staff admitted that these ...

Just finished disembarking from our cruise First I would like to say that while previously cruising on the Glory we had nothing but good things to say and wanted to go again and let our children have the experience we had. With that being said this cruise was anything but enjoyable, from the extremely rude staff, to being mislead by our booking agent on packages, waiting 25 minutes for a server ...

Scammed By Carnival

1st let me start by saying we were scammed by having a $300 bill end up on our account for our 2 kids, we were told to have them tested 72hrs within departure time which we did and then arrived to port to where we were told kids need to be tested again and it was free and of no charge because we had our test results within the 72hrs from our doctor, they lied and then put it in small writing with ...

We chose this cruise because we couldn’t wait to return to one of our beloved pastimes. Our last cruise was February 2020 right before the shutdown. We were thrilled to be living the cruise life once again - albeit shorter duration than we would have preferred. We flew into Fort Lauderdale 2 days prior to the cruise early in the morning. Ubered from FLL to Lago Mar Resort for around 25$. We ...
