Carnival Eastern Caribbean Cruise Reviews

We have been on the smaller ships like Paradise and Pride that go out of Tampa and we decided let's take the ride across the state to Canaveral and go on a larger ship. We choose cruises not for the ship but for the destinations and having never been to the Dominican and Turks and Caicos, we thought it would be a good itinerary which also included Nassau.Embarkation was a lot easier than I could ...

Embarkation went smoothly and overall we had a good time. Muster call has definitely improved since you just check in at your designated station after boarding the ship. We booked an interior room which was actually more spacious than I have experienced on other ships. Our cabin was clean and my only complaint was the lack of electrical outlets as we only had one located in the vanity area and ...

First, we loved the itinerary of our cruise, our favorite thus far and I’ve cruised for more than a decade. I prefer smaller ships and this was our first try on a larger ship. Compared to the Legend ship, the adults only area was horrible. The cushions were so worn and flat, people were doubling them up. And it didn’t seem as efficiently laid out so after people started doubling up on cushions ...

My wife and I and my parents just returned from a 10-day Cruise on Carnival Venezia, leaving from NYC to the Caribbean. The cruise ship docks at Manhattan Cruise Terminal. We live in upstate NY, about 6 hours away. With 4 people, it’s cheaper to drive than fly. We booked 2 rooms in Fairfield Inn North Bergen. They had a Cruise Package that would let us park the car at the hotel for 10 days ...

DH and I just returned home from our 10 day sailing on the Carnival Venezia. We had really been looking forward to this sailing on the "Fun Italian Style Ship". We have been to all of the ports on this sailing before ~ Half Moon Cay, Grand Turk, Amber Cove, and San Juan so this was more about the ship than the locations. First of all, the ship itself is really beautiful. The decor is more ...

Though it has some great accommodations and activities for kids, it was as kid mindful as I would’ve expected. The camp ocean did not do the activities listed in the daily agendas. My kids were often disappointed when leaving the camp and didn’t want to go back due to volume and lack of order. When I had a child get separated from us, guest services would not call for my child. They checked ...

I went on this cruise because someone had booked it and wanted a cabin mate. The employees are great and work hard. We had Efrem in the cabin and Jimmy in the Dining room Boarding was fun with about 20 employees dressed as characters greeting and high fiving everyone with upbeat music to welcome everyone. Carnival cabins are nice because they are large with plenty of space for your ...

Have sailed CARNIVAL annually since 1984. Sold cruise for 12 years after 30 yr. nursing career. Ship is beautiful. You could use an app for literally everything. My 2 friends downloaded it but I prefer not to have my face glued into a screen as I enjoy the people & world around me. In the main dining room when you asked for a REAL menu it takes several minutes for them to locate same. One ...

We've been on many cruises, most on Carnival, but this was the worst cruise we've been on for many reasons. We paid a lot of money for a balcony room and were put on the lowest floor with a balcony that was always wet with standing water, rust, and at times had a terrible sewage odor. Our last day on the ship the sewage smell was in our room. There were not enough electrical outlets in the ...

This is a short cruise. Port of calls are Key West and Cozumel. The ship is older, but it is clean, and staff was very nice! The formal dinners were very good, and the service was excellent. Do not order the duck. On the negative side. It is hard to sleep when your cabin is directly under the bar that has karaoke every night. The hair dryer is horrible, so bring your own. There is only one ...
