Carnival Galveston Cruise Reviews

I have been on a few Carnival Cruises, including back-in-the-day when it was a party boat with lots of drinking and a midnight buffet. With the goal to sail out of Galveston, this cruise had the right itinerary for us. The ship is dated (the 90s threw up all over it) but the newer lounges give a hint of what a total update would look like with simplified more modern design.. Also, we were ...

We did not choose the cruise first off - daughter got married on board. That part of the trip was not too bad. Rooms were quite tight and not particularly cheap for the value to cost ratio. In face we did order a lower level room (seasick wife) but we could barely turn around. Was a balcony room so paid more for that but could hardly turn around. Everything costs extra unless you pay ...

We always cruise on my Husband's Birthday and this was the only Ship out of Galveston that we could get an accessible Stateroom on. We drove to Galveston on the day of the Cruise, since we had sailed out of Galveston several times and there was no need to explore the city again. Checkin was rather speedy and we were in our Stateroom shortly thereafter. Breakfast in the Lido was good, so ...

We chose this cruise for the ports. Unfortunately Key West out due to the Hurricane Freeport was not good nothing close. To ship Nassau was a great stop. So really it was a one port cruise We wanted to try a bigger ship so the Breeze was a good choice. The crew were very friendly and helpful. We had my time dinning and we're lucky to have the same team wait on us each night. We food ...

Booked about 2 months before and looking for a relaxing cruise without too many children running around. Average age on this cruise was 40-60 years old. The biggest group on board were the Players Club (gamblers) who spent most of their time in the casino, buffet and the small outdoor area where they could smoke. They also filled the casino (mid deck 5) with smoke. We could smell it in our ...

This cruise had good points and bad points. First, the food was good as always and the staff friendly for the most part. We loved our dining room hostess, Maria. Couldn't ask for better service. Bad points: we paid $160 dollars for internet service that was literally poor as it could get. Best you could hope for was maybe email and Facebook. Forget loading anything. Definitely not worth the ...

We were scheduled to sail to Key West, Nassau and Freeport, but Irma changed our itinerary to Mahogany Bay, Belize and Cozumel. We were lucky to get to sail at all; the itinerary change was disappointing, but we wanted to sail very badly. We do not like the American Table. Our room was warm to hot every night even with the fan provided by Carnival. Guest services was exceptional and helped us ...

We enjoy Carnival. Love the caribbean. Cozumel is our favorite place on the planet. We love getting around town with the locals and making friends, The beach however is our happy place. "With our toes in the sand, a cold drink in our hand, a warm breeze on our face, we're in our happy place." The beaches in Cozumel and Roatan are always wonderful. I did some snorkeling along the reef in ...

This was the first sailing on the Freedom after hurricane Harvey came through the gulf. The overall presentation was lacking. Things weren't "dirty", they just weren't "bright and shiny". I expected a more enthused staff, and more attentive staff, and got......well, average. The best experiences were in the evening dining room where service actually was very good. The food was fine, not over ...

My wife and I love cruises. We have 4 boys ages 11,9,6,3, and they love cruises as much as we do. Embarkation was fast and easy. As soon as we got on the ship we went straight to the lido deck. Grabbed some towels out them on our chairs, started hitting up the bars at pool side. My older kids went right to the slides. Music was great !! Entertainment was great, staff was friendly and couldn't do ...
