Loved the smaller ship the Elation. Wasn’t. Crowded at all and hardly any lines for food etc and was told it was at capacity. Perfect time of year also because children are in school. Jacksonville port was smaller and easy to navigate and you park right beside the ship. Half Moon Cay was the first stop and was the perfect low key beach day. Nassau was the second stop and was nice to see and had ...
Carnival is obviously struggling to pay off its debt from the pandemic. I have never been on a cruise where there was so much disorganization, poor customer service, weary employees, ineffective systems, and general apathy.
The Carnival Hub app is not very good. It does not show OBC at the onset of a cruise. It does not automatically transfer casino credits to your account. It does not ...
Because of the date. The fact it was leaving New Orleans. Price, Itinerary. Then come to find out it was also Mardi Gras, woohoo!!! The staff was friendly. Our cabin steward Johnni, was awesome. Val our cocktail waitress at The Red Frog Pub was the Best. We had a great waiter in the Main dining room who was very entertaining and personable,,, I wish I could remember his full name,,, began with ...
We took this cruise for a quick get away. I have been cruising Carnival for years. This is an older ship but that does not bother me. Any day at sea is better than being home. I had 2 major issues on this cruise. 1st issue my linen on my bed was dirty. There were 6 layers of mattress pads sheets and a topper. I slept hard the first night and pulled my sheets off of the bed and that is when I ...
This was my first and last experience with Carnival. The first thing I noticed boarding the ship was how the staff did not interact well with the cruisers. The staff was kind and polite, but did not initiate any type of quality customer service. The ship is older and shows all the signs of wear and tear that are expected with an older ship. However, dirty is different than wear and tear. The ...
We cruised on the Carnival Sunshine 3-8 Feb 2024.
As a welcome and taste of things to come, we were handeded rum punch in a water bottle that we could keep when we boarded. Then we were told they were $26. We handed them back.
Our Stateroom Attendant, Komang, was fantastic. Very nice, and even remembered his assigned guests by name.
I use a CPAP, but there wasn't an electric outlet by ...
I’ve traveled on other cruise lines and was surprisingly disappointed in Carnival. First of all, I have never been solicited to on a cruise as frequently and relentlessly as when I was on Carnival. It was almost unbearable, and a frustration I heard from many fellow passengers. But the worst critique is at the end.
I had my toddler with me. The staff was all wonderful with her. But I had to ...
This was my first cruise and I was really looking forward to it. The excitement was hard to contain. But upon arrival at the terminal I was greeted with aggressive and unpleasant staff. As we were walking from the parking lot to the terminal, one carnival staff member threatened my gf with arrest for “jaywalking” when she walked beside me, placing part of her body outside the crosswalk. While ...
Sailed out of Baltimore on Carnival Legend for a 7-day cruise to the Bahamas. The wife and I sailed with our two girls, 15 and 17. This was our third cruise and second cruise on Carnival, the other one being on the Carnival Pride in 2018. I'll start with general thoughts, then I'll discuss some positives, and end with the negatives. Generally, the ship was clean and the food decent. There were ...
While the port of New Orleans leaves much to be desired, our sailing on the Glory was one of the best experiences of my life thus far. Throughout our week long journey we met so many incredible people, some who will surely become lifelong friends (we've already booked a cruise next year on Liberty with a few people we met)
We stayed on the Lido deck, which is an excellent location in my ...
