Carnival Galveston Cruise Reviews

We chose Carnival Cruise Line for our special family vacation because of its reputation for liveliness and kid-friendliness. In many ways, Carnival lived up to this with a variety of food options and excellent teen areas. The excursion advisors were top-notch, providing us with honest and helpful advice that made our off-boat activities memorable. However, the experience was far from seamless. ...

We traveled with our son and our 6 year old grandson .We were encouraged to try the Breeze because of the many activities offered for kids. We are not complainers about most everything. If you can go on a cruise, you are a lucky person who should be happy. We usually are. There were many activities for kids- too bad there was a looooooong line to get to them unless it was a port day and most ...

My husband and I were kinda upset with this cruise ship. We try to go on a cruise once a year for our anniversary. And any other time we have not had a issue until this time. Our room didn't have ac in it, after telling customer service 3 times, they sent someone up to fix it, and it wasn't ever fixed, we ended up sleepingwith the balcony door opened just to get some air flowing through the ...

I sailed Carnival Vista with my wife, 16-year-old daughter and her 16-year-old friend. This was my seventh cruise, all with Carnival, since 2006. We chose this cruise for a combination of the itinerary, the proximity to Galveston (about a 9-hour drive) and our interest in the Vista. Overall, we were impressed with the Vista. It's a big, beautiful ship with lots to see and do. Our stateroom was ...

I chose the Carnival Breeze for a 5 day cruise because it was sailing out of Galveston which is near our home. I took my daughter and her two children. It was my 7th cruise with Carnival and we really were looking forward to it. However, I was disappointed in the condition of the ship. It is definitely time for a refurb and is showing much wear. The upholstery in the main dining room was awful. It ...

1. Drinking water - The water at the beverage stations in the buffet areas flow at a trickle. Seriously. I waited along with elderly passengers and families with small children in line to get water in 90 degree heat. I feel like this is done purposely to try to force people to buy the ship's expensive bottled water or their soda package. It's irresponsible for the company not to have more ...

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 ...

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 ...

DW and I are testing the waters for later in life. We did our first cruise ever on RC in Feb and this was our chance to see how Carnival was in comparison. We did an inside cabin to keep it simple. Took the drink package, did 1 excursion, and some limited extra dining (steakhouse and Cucina). Two things really jumped out at us between the 2 lines: The party rarely even pauses on ...

We joined some friends on this cruise. It was our first vacation since before COVID. They have reduced the staff on the ship and it shows. The first night we were not offered beverages. Usually, they had someone come and get our drink order. No one asked or came by. The meals in the MDR were not that great. I did enjoy the ribs one night. The Chocolate Melting cake was over cooked the first night. ...
