My very first Cruise

Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Carnival Valor

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s

This was my very first cruise. It was a gift from a friend it was a spare of the moment trip. She asked me to go with her on the Friday that we got out for Thanksgiving break. She told me we were leaving that night to go to Galveston and we was going to sail out on the Saturday. She asked me to go on a cruise with her. I had a GREAATTT Time I can not wait to go on another. Next time I would like ...

Terrible teens

Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Carnival Vista

6-10 Cruises • Age 50s

There was so much bullying on this ship. Fights drinking and No supervision. Ages between 12-18 . Kids were beat up by groups. When I saw it I stopped it. Carnival make parents responsible for their kids poor behavior. No one wants to deal with little jerks. On a good note in Cozumel Charlie was a great guide . My husband and I went to the private house and brace all inclusive. Charlie made ...

Carnival Breeze

Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Carnival Breeze

Ggsimmen
6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

I took my adult son and wanted something easy and fun from Galveston. Considering how many people were on ship, I thought the “getting on/getting off” process was reasonably good. Crew was great! Our cruise director Lawerence was wonderful. We enjoyed all of the shows and did most of them - comedy, Deal or No Deal, Love & Marriage, Bingo, Karioke, and production shows. I think the restaurant Blush ...

Poor Service

This was our second cruise on this ship. We were very disappointed by the poor service and lack of customer service. The Horizon Dining was poor the hostess were rude and unfriendly and the food was good and lack of flavor . The Comedy was outstanding. Our cabin steward Petra was friendly and helpful. Security was terribe a gentleman in a green speedo was exposing himself in the Beach pool ...

Fun cruise, wonderful staff and crew, nice ship

Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Carnival Dream

MedCruise_2022
2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

We have cruised several times with Carnival and we have not been disappointed. It is always a fun and pleasant experience doing Carnival Cruises, for me and my husband. Galveston, Texas is our homeport- with only 5 hours of driving. We decided to do a short (6-day) cruise from Galveston after a somewhat long 2022 Carnival Mediterranean Cruise and several days of pre-post cruise stay in Rome ...

Poor quality ship

Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Carnival Vista

RegularCruiser55
6-10 Cruises • Age 50s

First, my primary experiences are on the Dream class ships (Breeze and Dream) so my experience on the Vista left so much to be desired. The beds were spring mattresses and horrifically uncomfortable. The floors were full of trip hazards. The stairs in the atrium were so tiny and narrow on one side that adults couldn’t use it. The walkways on all floors except 2 were so narrow that two adults ...

Lots of great excursions on this cruise as well (Western Caribbean.) It was a great vacation ...

Disappointed

Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Carnival Vista

Swtpea07
10+ Cruises • Age 60s

First cruise in awhile, I’m a platinum viff member so I’ve been to many Carnival Cruises. I usually eat my dinners at the assigned restaurants but this time I only ate once there due to a very frustrating method of seating you. Before you would just show up at the restaurant and be seated, now you have to check in on their app and even then you have to wait 30-50 minutes or more to be seated, many ...

My Favorite Ship Yet!

Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Carnival Vista

6-10 Cruises • Age 50s

Galveston is my preferred port to sail from. The Vista was newer and bigger than any ship I had been on before. I definitely got my steps in but I absolutely adored the Vista. I am sad that she is leaving Galveston but I have booked the Jubilee so I'm sure I will manage. :) The passenger capacity was listed as 3,954, we had 4,200. The layout seemed to work very well as I never felt ...
