Carnival Family Cruises Reviews

From start to finish this was a subpar vacation for our kids. Way too crowded, buffet was not good & worse of all was that the service sucked. Trying to find a fun, charismatic bartender was not possible. We couldn't even try to throw out extra mobey for decent service. Pathetic! Then to top it off, post sailing we get a reimbursement check for an overcharge. Then 2 weeks post sailing we get ...

The ship was a bit dated and in big need of painting and refurbishing. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The food was very good. The shows were lacking for sure. They had a great band Lady and the Vamps in the Ocean Plaza and a few other great musicians but that was about it. No productions or dancing. I’m just giving you the honest opinion. A few tips were added on our receipts as ...

We chose this cruise as it's only a 50 minute flight to Long Beach. The ship was very clean and I'm not sure how Carnival does it, but their staff is amazing. We took our 7 year old grandson and had a deluxe ocean view with to bathrooms. There was enty of room for the 3 of us. It was 2 hort flights to the Vista dining room. We always take my time dining as we enjoy the flexibility. The Food ...

There were way too many people packed in for the amount of space. Elegant night was a joke. We sat pushed between a divider and another couple and it was so loud in there no one could hear each other. This was after a two hour wait. We sailed on this ship several years ago and really enjoyed it. The Captain's night was very relaxed and special, a lovely dining experience. On this cruise, ...

First the positives, Embarkation was fast and efficient, our ocean view cabin was clean and in good repair. Excellent cabin steward (Budi). The crew was very friendly and ship was clean. Best food was at Chopstix or Guy's Burger. Negatives - Guest services was more worried about playing on their phone than helping. On several occasions they gave incorrect information. No priority tendering ...

Read some other reviews and although the ship layout and size has created some issues, overall we had a good vacation. This was our fifth cruise with Carnival but the first one out of Charleston and aboard the Sunshine. We didn’t splurge on any in port excursions but we did partake in the faster to the fun, cheers program, the steak house, internet, and deep tissue massages. Even though it is an ...

We chose this cruise due to it lining up with our kids spring break, our kids are 15 & 14. My wife and I quit drinking several years ago so your experience may differ from ours if you "partake in festivities". The onboarding process was much quicker and smoother than I expected given the amount of security you go thru. The room was neat, clean and had a large window compared to other ships that ...

We're frequent cruisers, who mainly sailed on Carnival years ago for the shorter, party itineraries. We have been mainly sailing on Celebrity since then but wanted to go on this specific itinerary and thought Carnival might be fun for our son. We didn't know what to expect and to my surprise, they nailed it, it was a surprisingly good cruise. The ship itself was beautiful, clean, and the staff was ...

Carnival Review Our first cruise and I said to my wife, trying to explain the level of failure and the level of care regarding the buffet quality is basically saying if Walmart had a buffet, this would have been it, and Luby’s would probably still have given them a run and still lost. The food was absolutely the most disgusting thing I have ever seen attempted to be put as meals, and that’s ...

This seems like a very convenient and smaller cruise ship, but it is extremely crowded. I am 24 and they attempted to kick me out of the adult area 3 times, once telling me my card was not working and they could not tell my age. They assumed I was lying and I felt extremely unwelcome. I was the quietest one in the adult only area while other adults are screaming, fighting, and binge drinking in ...
