Carnival Eastern Caribbean Cruise Reviews

I've been sailing with Carnival for over 10 years now, and I never have been on a ship this ill-prepared to handle its passengers. The ship was over-capacity, as it was a Christmas cruise. When sailing during breaks, I expect the ship to be at capacity. What I didn't expect was the absolute sheer number of families, and a ship with not enough staff to accommodate them all. First off, there were ...

My 17th cruise (all but 2 are with carnival). My wife's 20th (most with carnival). My review from this cruise may be specific to the Mardi Gras...however I think Corporate Carnival policies are likely to be the baseline for my annoyances and I'm holding the Mardi Gras accountable for the following issues: - We've always loved Carnival because the guest demographic is very well rounded (has ...

This was the worst cruise ever. The port in Charleston SC was terrible. We had to walk a mile back to our car when we got back or wait an hour for a bus. There is no where on this ship for peace and quiet. This is for drinkers and gamblers. The dining room is a joke. Its more like a cafe. The server didn't introduce himself. He just came up and said are you ready? One piece of bread, one ...

Very excited to board the ship and start 10 days of fun…what a joke …you leave out of New York and it’s day 3 before you hit warm weather. Then the staff is not true carnival wonderful staff there were a few who were top of the line most wouldn’t even smile and we heard SEVERAL say how much they hated it. Entertainment was subpar and seemed geared towards children more than anything. Needs to have ...

I was introduced to the unique vacation style (cruising) in 2006 when we took our first cruise on the Liberty; I have been hooked ever since. The wide-open spaces, the cleansing ocean air, and the serenity of watching the world go by knowing I wouldn’t have to do any of the cooking or cleaning. That was my definition of bliss for nearly twenty years. But I am highly discouraged to be put on ...

We chose this cruise because of the convenience of traveling from NYC and the price seemed reasonable. We sailed with Carnival in the past and always enjoyed the cruise. As frequent cruise travelers, our recent cruise on Carnival Venezia was quite disappointing. The quality of the food and menu choices were mediocre, the best food on board was Guy's Burger Place on the Lido Deck. The Production ...

I have been on several cruises and I’m so disappointed that I will never cruise on carnival or maybe ever again. No I’m not a Karen and I’ve not complained because if you complain… you’re a Karen right? This is my interpretation of this cruise specifically. 1- staterooms - my interior room was bigger than others I’ve cruised with. Kinda gross in carpet stains. Room doesn’t get clean bc I ...

The ship is beautifully done, but it’s big, so be prepared to walk a lot. We went to beautiful destinations and enjoyed the ports we visited. The casino was great, the room was clean and we had a nice view from our large window. The majority of employees/if not all were wonderful. The casino was fun and I did see some decent winners. My biggest complaint about this particular ship, was the ...

I sailed On Carnival Mardi Gras four months prior to the cruise that this comment is based upon. As outstanding as the June cruise was my October cruise was the opposite. I have sailed with Carnival for more than twenty years, so I am well aware of both the good and not so good sides of choosing to sail on Carnival cruise ships. We normally enjoy Carnival, however this cruise we the second worst ...

I booked a balcony cabin I was disappointed with the room size and the placement of the bed I was forward on the ship wasn’t the best feeling, you can feel every motion the bed kept drifting apart I did complain to guest service however it took them 3 days to get back to me , when I go on a cruise it’s for relaxation however most times I didn’t feel that way the peer pressure to buy thing on the ...
