Carnival Galveston Cruise Reviews

This cruise was so great in many ways, but a few bad things made it rough here and there. Personnel: I've never really cared one way or another about Cruise Directors, but Ms. Emma Nixon was spectacular. I wish I could have her on every cruise! She was everywhere at once, and I'm not kidding. We would talk to her one minute and then go somewhere else and she would have beat us there, always ...

The value of the cruise is why my family choice the Valor it was in our budget. The activites everyday was great there was always something to do. The free food such a awesome luxury for all. However the staff as a whole except the head cabin housekeeper can't remember his name. The staff was very hateful snobby they acted like we owed them something when our money is just as green as theirs when ...

Cons: Disastrous disembarkment Slow service at sandwich and coffee bars Buffet room personnel struggled with English Smoky casino Spa certificates expired before last day at sea Over cooked fish in dining room Dated cabins in need of refurbish Constant coercion to upgrade/upcharge Erroneous charges on Sail card that were not corrected Did I say disastrous ...

We wanted to check out the new ship in Galveston Texas. We loved the Grand Caymans and Cozumel but stayed on the ship in Jamaica. We had an ocean view room on deck one. It was very convenient to the rear elevators. The change we did not like was having to register for what time you wanted to eat although we had our time dining. You had to stop what you were doing and go stand in a line to get a ...

My high school bestie called me up and said that she her ex, before he was her ex-husband a=had this cruise booked. would I like to go? Heck yes. I am a newly retired Kindergarten teacher! My hubby was very happy about this retirement gift!! Ship left from Galveston. She drove in from Dallas, I drove in from Lafayette, LA. We stayed the night before at the Galveston Hilton. Free cruise ...

We were initially excited to try out this new ship. Overall, we had a great time with our family. This is cruise #3 for us and all 3 cruises have been with Carnival. We have been on the Imagination and Glory prior to this cruise. Our cruise on the Glory was far better than this cruise. =============================================================== The Good: Dining experience was ...

I am at Platinum level with Carnival. This is not my first time on the Vista, I love the ship because it has all of the latest amenities. It has all the specialty restaurants, movie theater, pour your own wine and beer, etc. I also like the digital photo gallery. We went in October, and got a great price. We were contacted by Carnival ahead of the cruise to see if we wanted a balcony at a ...

Embarkation was extremely smooth, probably due to the fact that we had purchased "Faster to the Fun". Our cabin was ready when we boarded around noon and the luggage arrived shortly there after as promised in the FTTF. This was the first time we have gotten a premium balcony cabin and we were not disappointed. Its size was immense; essentially a suite for the price of a balcony. Huge balcony ...

We decided to go on our first cruise to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary. We really enjoyed it. The ship is very nice and the crew is beyond excellent. Our stateroom steward was Komang and he was great. He is very sweet and does his work very well. The rest of the crew is great as well, but we really wanted to brag about Komang. We had a balcony room and we enjoyed it. The room and balcony ...

My father in law was taking mother in law for her birthday and asked us to join them, he would pay. Overall, it was a fun cruise with a few issues. First, the cruise director TJ was wonderful( a perfect fit). Joey in entertainment did a great job as well. Anamaria in guest services was a huge savior to me. Now for the issues, the carnival hub app. I did the two things it said airplane mode and ...
