Carnival First-Time Cruisers Cruise Reviews

The food was terrible. You could tell they used frozen vegetables which resulted in soggy and oddly salty vegetables. Dry and overcooked meat. Overcooked pasta and noodle. The rice was wet and crumped together. They either used instant rice or a messed up pot. The only things that are ok were pizza, burger and soft-serve ice cream. Fine dining every evening was no better as they serve similar food ...

Prologue We sailed on the Panorama to the the Mexican Riviera with a small group celebrating our oldest son's 41st birthday. My wife and I are both Travel Agents and have sailed on many different cruises and cruise lines. We had been on the Panorama 3 times previously right after the cruise lines started sailing again after the pandemic, because the prices were very low to encourage people to ...

Horrible cruise! We call it the cruise from Hell. Broken propulsion system AGAIN on this ship!!! We had high anxiety and stress the entire week. They set sail knowing the ship couldn’t reach maximum speed and cancelled ports before we even left Long Beach. Crookedest stunt ever to not announce it before we boarded. Give us a choice to get our money back 100%!! Some of us flew from the midwest and ...

This was not my first cruise I've sailed on different ships with carnival and I have never had the worst experience as I have this time. 1. I took 14 people along with me on this Cruise to have never been. I wanted them to see the ship sail away and it didn't sell away on time. In fact it may have been eight or 9:00 when it sailed away wasn't informed of what time it was selling. 2. It ...

This cruise was absolutely horrible. I have been on many cruises and this did not feel like a cruise. Shows were mainly comedy club or a few of the staff dancing. Food was totally horrible. A group of us ordered lasagna in the dining room and we all sent it back it was so discusting. Buffet had only 6 choices on it and a salad and desert bar. Barely eatable. To go to the dining room you had to ...

When you first get to the port and see the big ship you say to yourself omg how big and beautiful it is until you get on it. The way the have people cattle in lines and it gets not better as you go on your cruise. We had 7 days of hell. It was extremely hot down in Mexico also that didn't help. Once you get into the terminal they have picture's you can take and then they sit you back ...

The Vibe is bad. The food quality is poor. The rooms were dirty even after being cleaned of our familys 2 rooms. An Employee stold a cup either a friend name on it out of a family'sroom. The shower in a friend room wouldn't drain correctly it took them 3 days to fix. Toilet was plugged 3 days to fix it they treated them like they didn'tno how to flush the toilet. . In a family friends room. ...

We chose this cruise because we had a previous great experience on the carnival dream. We were leery of the reputation carnival had with party animals and were hesitant to bring our toddler on as a result, however given our previous experience we chose them anyway on a Mexico sailing. The ship itself is beautiful and once you get a feel of that flow of design it makes a lot of sense and you can ...

We were on the ship when it was brand new and just sailed again. While the ship is still beautiful the overworked crew try hard but the largely inedible food (think powdered egg, synthetic substitutes for cream, non dairy cheese, etc) with lines for everything make it a terrible experience. - food: terrible - cabin: nice but poor soundproofing with baby next door made it difficult to sleep ...

My partner and I have been cruising for about 25 years and this cruise ship probably ranks around one of the worse I've been on. We went with our niece and her son and it was there first time cruising, so we choose Carnival as it would have a younger crowd for them, which it did. However, after the first couple of days it was clear that they somehow have managed to packed so many people onto this ...
