Carnival Eastern Caribbean Cruise Reviews

We picked this cruise based on price. Only $800 per person for 5 night cruise with three stops. The ship was OK. Our cabin was OK. The included food was alright-ish. Halfmoon Cay was lovely. The food for purchase was very good. The drinks were very good. The dancers were excellent. The bar staff was overworked and no longer able to fake a smile or happiness. The passengers on this ship were ...

We chose this cruise as a family trip with multiple first time cruisers. This is not a ship I would have selected myself and I have no plans to sail on this ship again. I was super disappointed with the offerings on the ship. The “refurbishment” did not modernize the ship at all. We sailed in an ocean suite and were unimpressed by the decor or the condition of the balcony. There was also a weird ...

Carnival Celebration is a beautiful ship and much too nice for what it’s being used for. I’ve sailed Carnival multiple times, but this is the first cruise since the pandemic. Carnival has decided to cater to large group cruises without consideration for couples who want to relax on vacation. It was apparent that many passengers were on coordinated group cruises with at minimum 30 people per group ...

We cruised on the Carnival Magi sailing on Aug. 5, 2023 out of Norfolk, Va.. We had not cruised on a Carnival ship in a number of years but decided to take this cruise because it was reasonably priced and it sailed out of Norfolk, only 3 hours from our house. We drove to Norfolk and arrived at the parking lot at 10:40AM. We got in line for the bus and we were on the ship in an hour. The first ...

To say I’m disappointed in this cruise and the fact that I spent all this money to go on it would be an understatement. This boat has been the worst boat I’ve ever been on, making this the worst vacation for me and my entire family. From the services being absolutely horrible, with nasty workers rolling their eyes at you each way you turn all the way to the horrific food(whether you get from the ...

Well looks like things have changed. Ships are bigger for more profits and staffing and service are no longer the attributes of cruising. Dining room and room steward service are just not the same. The spa was so crowded that they lost my wife’s paid scheduled appointment. We had to go to guest services to get a credit. Our family was not linked as requested and my wife and I had to sit in a ...

Chose this cruise because it was out of NY. I had a free cruise offer from Carnival and didn't want to fly. Whole booking process was great. Agents were friendly, no wait times. I traveled with a friend. Checked in ahead of time on app. Went very smooth. Port was mobbed, but again, smooth check in. Got on ship, had to wait until 130 to have access to cabin. Key cards were in mailbox ...

We were excited to be sailing on a new Carnival ship out of NY. The decor was nice but there are still a few kinks for Carnival to work out. Casino had NO tournaments (slot, blackjack, Texas hold 'em) - disappointed. Just about all of the promotions in the casino were directed toward Elite members. Same comedian onboard for entire 8-days. Entertainment was underwhelming Pools were ...

We chose this cruise because we were not thrilled with our last Royal Caribbean cruise, and we loved the stops (we hadn't been to any of them before), plus we could put all five us in a room together for a reasonable cost. It was our first Carnival Cruise (we had done Princess and Royal Caribbean before). Embarkation was extremely easy and quick. We left our hotel on the shuttle at 1015am. At ...

My wife and I were dumbfounded while on our cruise to the Bahamas. Let me get the excursions out of the way. Freeport (otherwise known as the “Gas Station”), was disappointing. View from the ship once docked has a lot to be desired. The beach excursion was good. As others have posted, it is crowded but that didn’t bother us. Nassau was awesome! We took the Blue Lagoon excursion. You will ...
