I chose this cruise based on the destination and time frame. First, the wait time for everything single thing is insane. Expect to wait in line for the buffet 30 minutes or more. Food is ok but found it difficult to find seating to eat at times. Nothing special. The cost of the Cheers package is very pricey and the bubbles package is only good if you drink a lot of soda. No bottled water is ...

Probably the last Carnival cruise I take

I have always enjoyed carnival as the crew always made it a great experience. I supported carnival and went on two 7-day cruises during Covid. I convinced 8 family members to book this cruise and I was absolutely embarrassed. Checkin went fine but the ship departed after 5pm with no reason given. Not the biggest issue. Overall Staff Service: 2 stars. All of the staff seemed over worked and had ...

Carnival sunrise is an ok ship. I can definitely tell that it used to be the triumph. Lots of crowds and long wait. Had to wait on two lines for food. Doesn't make any sense. I traveled by myself and they sat me at a table for one. Food overall was ok. They closed the bbq for two days, only open on sea days. Staff was rude and disrespectful. I would definitely try royal Caribbean, celebrity or ...

My family and I sailed on the Carnival Sunrise last Thursday Sept 29,2022. I have traveled several other times with Carnival and I have never been disappointed as much as I was in this occasion. Please see below the inconveniences: * Nothing was mentioned that we were not stopping at one of our destinations (to Key West) until we departed. * My husband received free drinks package thru ...

Carnival Fell Short Of Even Our Very Low Expectations

This was our 26th cruise and first on Carnival. We had never sailed Carnival before because of its reputation of being a low-end cruise line where everyone just wants to get drunk and party. We found the reputation to be true, unfortunately. The worst part were the cattle calls for meals at the buffet. Lines were regularly 20+ minutes everywhere. Usually, I walk around the buffet and have a ...

WORST Cruise Experience EVER!

This was my husband's first ever cruise and it was my 5th cruise. This was the worst cruise experience I have ever had and an absolutely terrible experience for my first time cruiser husband. Some of the items on this extensive list may be nitpicky to some, but as one thing after another went wrong or were well below expectations due to previous cruises with Carnival and other cruise lines, we ...

BE WARNED - YOU WILL SPEND YOUR WHOLE CRUISE IN LINE FOR FOOD

I normally would never take the time to go and complain about a cruise but I WISH someone would have warned me about the food situation on this boat. THERE ARE ONLY 2 BUFFET LINES FOR THE ENTIRE BOAT. Granted there are other venues but even these lines are just ABSURD. Twice we just settled on the pay for meals restaurants so we could ACTUALLY EAT. PS The Bonsai Sushi is REALLY GOOD AND WORTH ...

First of all I have MS, and before we were even on board, we were treated with such disrespect I was sent into a full blown flare up. It made the cruise miserable the first 3 days. My husband and I were pulled out of first line with our boarding passes, rudely, because they said the print wasn't big enough.....it was printed directly off of their website. Thank goodness I made multiple ...

Me: First Carnival cruise (only have sailed with Royal a long time ago). Female, 40. I went with a friend on a short trip to see if I would like cruising. Embarkation: Parking was easy. We arrived after 1 so we breezed through. Balcony Room: No complaints other than the fridge which never got our sodas below room temperature. The shower was a pleasant surprise. Roomy and excellent water ...

Boarding was a breeze ! Muster took 72 secs and in the cabin by 1pm and napping by two!. Woke up and we were off ! Tried my time dining for the first time and I think I’m hooked . Especially with the new “ get your table “ from the hub app. There was no rush , no rush to leave and the staff and food was amazing and I think better than main or late sitting . And r you could ask for your same wait ...
