I have only been on two cruises both on the Paradise. The ship itself seems dated but the staff is very friendly and helpful. The thing that I valued about the Paradise compared to what I heard about other cruises is that it never felt ...

This was mine and my husband’s first cruise and it was absolutely fantastic! While I could write a novel about our experience but I will try to condense it down.
We were able to get right in our room with no problem and met our ...

I chose this cruise mainly because I wanted a reasonable priced cruise that would be good for kids. Last year we sailed the Norwegian Getaway for a week which was awesome but this year I didn't want to spend nearly that much, so I opted ...

Cruised with a group of 6 friends/family. Because I consider Carnival cheap and cheerful, I had realistic expectations. There's lots of fun to be had, plenty of activities (good cruise director and staff), and while the ship does hold ...

We chose this cruise to celebrate my granddaughters high school graduation. I was looking for a short four day cruise that was not too expensive and suitable for a young lady having a good time. Carnival is not one of my favorite cruise ...

This was our 6th cruise (3rd with Carnival.) And our most disappointing. The food and service in dining room was nothing to get excited about and we ate in the buffet more than on any other cruise. And although there were signs asking ...

I'm a first time cruiser, so I have nothing to compare my cruise to. Having said that, I have not a single complaint. The Breeze is clean and beautiful. My room steward, Sam, was attentive and warm. Embarkation and disembarkation went ...

This was our first cruise. There were four of us - my husband and I and our two daughters, ages 9 and 14. The food was good, the staff was extremely friendly and accommodating (with the notable exception of the pool bartenders), and ...

I thought I would right a review about this cabin 11266 since I did not find one before I booked it. ( We were always polite to customer service we never complained just asked for them to fix the a/c politely ) First off this cabin is very ...

This was our fourth cruise on our fourth cruise line. I have now cruised with Holland America, Princess, Royal Caribbean, and now Carnival. Of the four, I would recommend Carnival over the others.
The Carnival Magic was spectacular, ...

We went on this cruise as a family group of 10 ranging in age from 2.5 years to 73. As noted in other reviews, this ship is incredibly gaudy and over the top in terms of decorations, so a little hard on the eyes! Having cruised before on ...

Fort Lauderdale:

Overview:
We chose this cruise ship as it was a short drive from our home. This is the oldest ship in Carnival's fleet. Despite its age, the ship was clean and inviting in appearance. We loved the medium size of the ship. One great ...

This was our first cruise and I wasn't sure what to expect. The cabin was fine, and the staff very friendly. The food was not very good with little selection for kids. Not many activities for kids of any age. We mostly sat at the pool. My ...

I chose this cruise because the traveling dates were extremely limited, and this cruise fit the bill. We were a family of 14 traveling, and we booked 4 staterooms, 2 of them suites.
Embarkation was a disaster because the person that ...

I chose this cruise because the timing worked well with our long 4th of July weekend. We are a family with a school age child, so I was a little leery of some of the "booze cruse" aspects, but figured I was prepared :) At home ...

We chose this cruise as a last minute option. My family and I had been on the Conquest before and it was not the best cruise then. We noted from our last experience that mainly the entertainment and food were a bit off then. This time ...

My family went on this cruise for a wedding on the ship and the wedding was very well organized and everything went well. We typically cruise on another cruise line and I was impressed with a few things. We really liked how the dress ...

Let me start by saying that this is my 5th time cruising with Carnival. I have sailed on the Magic, Dream, Triumph, Elation and now the Fantasy. I wanted to give a fair and honest review of our 5 day cruise.
PROS:

The Vista is a beautiful ship and has a lot of new technology and a great layout. We really spent most of our time at the waterpark and the main Lido deck. I wish the main pool was bigger and they had some hot tubs in the main area. The ...

I had a great experience on my recent cruise. From embarkation in Miami to Disembarkation in Miami, it was great. I only have a few cons, but I will get to those. I think the cruise director "Matt" is the number one reason the ...
