Carnival Eastern Caribbean Cruise Reviews

For our first cruise with Carnival, we decided to go with a bigger, newer ship and landed on the Celebration. Previously cruising on a mid size ship with NCL, we noticed the differences immediately. This main point of this review is the poor ship design and how inefficient Carnival is with larger ships. We spoke with many guest who have sailed with Royal Caribbean and all of them said that ...

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 ...

My wife and I aren’t wealthy, we don’t normally do a cruise every year. We’ve gone on several Carnival cruises since our first aboard the Conquest in 2004, and up to this point have really enjoyed them all. On Sunday we disembarked from our sixth cruise, aboard the Carnival Celebration. Although we overall enjoyed the cruise, things on Carnival have changed quite a bit in the last 20 years, and ...

This was our 16th cruise. We sailed on the Carnival Celebration in January 2024. The ship holds 6500 quest and 1350 employees. It is a large ship but very, very crowded, to crowded. Our worst disappointment was the food. Worst food we had on any cruise. The choices were very limited. I am not a big eater but the portions in the dinning room were very small. Had to order 2 of something that I ...

I got sick about a week into my ten day trip. I called the medical clinic to report that I had a cough and fever and exhaustion. The person who answered told me that they didn’t need to know that, but I could come down for medical care if I wanted. Surprising, given how concerned other cruise lines are when someone is sick. Anyway, I didn’t want medical care—I just wanted to lie in bed and die. ...

I chose Carnival because I cruised 10 years ago and it was decent; I assumed it had gotten better-I was wrong. I knew it was considered a "party ship" and I am all about a good party while on vacation but this was ridiculous. There was fighting in the rooms. I was awakened by what I think was a body being slammed against the wall, cursing, yelling, screaming, doors slamming etc. I was also ...

I cruise multiple times out of the year and this cruise by far was the creepiest, weird and disappointing. Here's my reasoning behind why we felt this way. Cons: 1. One of our port days was canceled which was Turks. We got a refund for $16...really. 2. Right before two of the major shows were canceled back to back we heard an announcement of an emergency, no follow up. If it's not for the ...

I agree with All the reviews of don't take this cruise for the following reason, briefly: 1. Food horrible 2. They do accessive charges on your card. 3. They change policies as you aboard, things are not within the contract. Subject to change quickly without notification. 4. Lines are long for the food service. 5. Rude. 6. No one is on the same page as duties entire. 7. ...

We chose this cruise because it was affordable for our group of 15. This was my 2nd cruise with Carnival, the last being 15 years ago. I've cruised 12 times and have tried the four popular cruise lines: Carnival, NCL, Princess and RCL. You know the saying, "you get what you pay for." Everything about this ship is CHEAP. The food was the worst I've ever had on a ship. This is the only ship that I ...

January 13 Carnival Mardi Gras Spa Suite I usually do not have much bad to write about when it comes to our cruises over the years because I believe you can find problems with any vacation experience if you want to. My Wife and I have been Cruising Since 1987 with our original cruise on NCL Southward. We now have 28 cruises under our belts and for the most part I can say we have had some ...
