Carnival Eastern Caribbean Cruise Reviews

As experienced cruisers we did not have high expectations. We understood going in that Carnival was not a luxury cruise line. Embarking was a breeze. Disembarking was a little unorganized. Not even close to embarking process. Waited a long time to get an elevator. Elevators are a little small and the passengers taking their bags with them made them hold even fewer people. The Mardi Gras ...

We chose Carnival for the fun atmosphere. It was our first cruise on Sunrise. We had previously sailed The Liberty with Carnival. Both ships are similar in layout but Sunrise seemed a bit smaller in size. We enjoyed The Red Frog Bar but was disappointed in the Piano bar. The Piano bar on the Liberty was much better. The evening shows were entertaining. The food in The dining room was identical to ...

We chose this based on the dates due to school vacation. We also chose this cruise line because the one we used to cruise on seems to have gotten really greedy post covid, we saw a better value with this line. The ship; we liked the layout of the ship. With multiple pools, we really didn't have a hard time finding a place, even on sea days. The main pool where all the entertainment happens ...

The ship was big and there was a lot to explore, and for some background, I only have experience with Carnival, and the other ships were Magic, Dream, and Fantasy. We were lucky enough to snag "Faster to the Fun" and we believe it was worth it - even just for the embarkation/debarkation. My husband and I were excited to turn to "Gold" status on this cruise, but in actuality, the only major ...

This cruise ticked off more of our county/port destination list. Amber cove was nice and clean. The lazy river pool was relaxing but with 2 ships in port that day got very crowded by midmorning. Everyone seemed to be having fun. Port of LaRomana was interesting. Did the Catalina Beach break. You are bused for about 5-10 minutes over to another port and are ferried to the island. The water ...

Overall the trip was great. So many places to eat. Service was good most days. Lots of pools. Good entertainment. The negative: children running everywhere unsupervised and very disrespectful. Some rooms got egged with boiled eggs. Knocking on doors and then running away late at night. They were running in the halls and ran into several people. Overall embankment and disembarking were ...

We went on this cruise as a group of 8 people ranging in age from 21- 54. It really was a great cruise but I do feel like there was room for improvement. This was my fifth Carnival cruise. Firstly the staff were amazing - as always they worked very hard to make sure we were all taken care of. Having said that, I definitely felt that they were a bit more “harried” than what I’m used to. I think ...

I enjoy walking around the ship and then the food was great and the restaurants the ones you had to make sign up for were is better. I enjoy the games the staff had us do and the youth man that was in charge of the events was excellence. The servicing staff was great and the housekeeping staff was also great, I wasn't to found in going on a small boat , so I didn't but I enjoy the time on the ...

My wife and I chose this cruise because we like the big ships, and the dates/price were right. We usually cruise Royal Caribbean, so this was a change. This was our 16th cruise, second on Carnival. We arrived at our chosen boarding time, and the process was smooth and quick. Our cabin was a balcony near the aft end of the ship. Good location, however, the Roller Coaster was 4 decks ...

First cruise since Covid hit, we decided to re-start with a newer ship. Sailed on the Carnival Freedom 8 years ago and were pleasantly surprised with the overall experience. First impression was positive, ship is beautiful, size wasn’t intimidating as we’ve been on Symphony of the Seas in the past. We did find the lack of a true Centre atrium a bit strange, there’s an open theatre mid ship ...
