Carnival Cruise Reviews for Family to the Eastern Caribbean

Ah, finally off the Carnival Legend. Thank the Lord and all that is Holy. First time on a cruise, and very little positive to say. Abandon all hope, ye who enter this ship with the hopes of having a smooth, relaxing vacation. Where do I start? Get on the Legend, go to my room and it’s 110 degrees in the cabin. Their “solution” to get you to shut up is to give you a desk fan…you've paid ...

I never write reviews, but I feel as though I need to for this ship. We went on the Carnival Vista for our daughters Senior Trip with 9 of her friends. We also cruised with their families. We have been on 16-17 cruises. We have been on 2 Carnival ships when we first started cruising. We didn't hate the cruise, but decided Carnival wasn't our thing. The others cruise lines we have been ...

I went on this cruise with my family, we are first time cruisers, and this experience left us discouraged and very disappointed. Entertainment was lackluster. Sea days were mostly boring for me and my husband. If you're not a drinker/partier you will find there is not much this ship has to offer really. The pool areas are silly. One small pool, in the middle of one huge crowd. The pools are also ...

We have went on several cruises with Norwegian and Royal Caribbean, but not Carnival Freedom. We had several issues before leaving with CF after we did an upgrade to our room. They charges us again for soda and gratuities after the upgrade. Please make sure that you understand it is a bubbles soda package(CF doesn't tell you it is just pepsi products)- We paid for extra for a suite with extra ...

My purse was stolen while waiting to disembark the ship in florida. i told the security staff who was scanning the room cards for people leaving the ship. They scanned my roommate's card then looked at me making sure my face matched then deleted me from their system making it look like i was no longer on the ship. i was in a total panic! I was not allowed to retrace my steps to look for it since ...

We chose this cruise for it's ports of call and the time of year. It was a large family trip with members flying in from all over the U.S. The check-in process was great! We had upgraded our room to larger rooms (with balcony's) at the very back (aft) of the ship. The Magic is old and in need of both cosmetic and structural repair. The thrusters were broken during the entire cruise which mean ...

We chose this cruise for my parents 60th anniversary.... we had 6 balcony staterooms.......... prior to sailing our PVP assured us we would have no issue getting seating in the AFT dining room...... due to medical conditions for 4 of our group we purposely selected AFT cabins to make life easier....... we were NOT granted the seating in the aft dining room even when we said we had no problem ...

My first cruise ever and I never want to cruise again… at least on carnival. 600 staff members short, and about 2k too many people for the ships size. My family and I ate in the main dining room on Monday night, and I had the worst steak I’ve ever had in my life. It was halfway to being leather. I would never recommend this cruise line.. or at least this ship. Do some research before you book, or ...

This was my first and last experience with Carnival. The first thing I noticed boarding the ship was how the staff did not interact well with the cruisers. The staff was kind and polite, but did not initiate any type of quality customer service. The ship is older and shows all the signs of wear and tear that are expected with an older ship. However, dirty is different than wear and tear. The ...

This was a bad cruise experience to say the least. The crew was friendly and kind but it was painfully evident they were under staffed on a sold out cruise. We have cruised with Carnival before and this cruise was poorly planned and executed. 30+ minute wait in the buffet lines over and over, poor choices and mediocre food. We waited over an hour for our anytime dining (not at out convenience) ...
