Carnival Galveston Cruise Reviews

Nearly impossible to not enjoy a cruise. Loved the ship and the shows. The playlist cast were wonderful and my favorite was Flick. We got to meet the cast at an after party and they were genuinely sweet and patient, posing for pics and answering questions. Stacey and Amber were British dolls and Michael was my favorite overall. He had great stories to tell. Wasn’t too impressed with our dining ...

This was my second cruise (both Carnival), and after enjoying the first so much, I was greatly looking forward to being on an even bigger, newer ship. The experience, unfortunately, was pretty lackluster. Embarkation and debarkation went smoothly--much more so than my last visit a few years ago, so I was happy with that. There was standing in long lines, yes, but the lines moved pretty quickly ...

We chose this cruise for the itinerary, and port locations. I made the mistake of thinking all "spring breaks" would be over this last week of March. I was wrong. Note to everyone, do not cruise in March, unless you have kids and love kids. I was shocked how many kids were on this cruise. The lack of parenting was atrocious. Ship is just like the "Magic" with a little different decor ...

As this was our 25 year anniversary cruise, I thought everyone did a fantastic job of recognizing that and celebrating with us, and making this cruise unforgettable.. Our cabin steward wrote a super cute note on our mirror congratulating us, and gave us a card with a $50 spa credit. We didn’t end up using it (because the prices in the spa are ridiculous), but it was a nice gesture. Our ...

I chose carnival because I always have a great experience. I drove to Galveston the day before my cruise. I parked at the port and paid $45 for a 5 day cruise, because I paid online. After parking, the shuttle took us to the ship. My check-in time was 1:00, but I arrived at 11 and didn't have any problems. Embarkation was very quick. I also ate lunch before going to my room. Guys Burgers ...

We have been on many cruises, but this was the first time on Carnival. We normally go on NCL. My husband and I traveled with our 17 yr old daughter and 17 yr old exchange student. I loved the decor on this ship. There were so many beautiful paintings. I wasn't sure if I would like having a designated time to eat, but did find the waiters were so friendly on this ship and dinner was served pretty ...

This was my 3rd cruise, the first 2 being on RC. We drove to Galveston day of with a 10-10:30 appt time. There was no checking of times, people with hours later appt times got on the ship same time as us. Got on the ship fast and easy and went straight to find some lunch. Went to the mongolian wok as we love stir fry. Was disappointed to find out it is actually steam fried, came out looking ...

My husband and I booked this cruise for our 10th wedding anniversary. We brought our two youngest kids with us (ages 8 & 5). We chose Carnival because it was budget friendly, geared toward families and had numerous amenities for children. What we LOVED about our cruise was: 1. SERVICE: our Steward Kelvin; he was literally THE BEST! I'm not sure when he slept because he was in the hallway ...

We selected this cruise because it went out of Galveston and was during Spring Break. However after sailing on other ships was disappointed in the service. Long waits in the dining room, food passed over me to guest across me and even asked to pass a plate down to another guest. Also disappointed that there were not a lot of activities for teens to do other than hang out in the Teen Club and ...

Embarkation went very well - we were on the ship quickly and enjoying a drink of the day on the lido deck within an hour. Disembarkation was okay my group decided to take our own luggage down. The elevators are locked out on the non-called floors so you have to take the stairs. We decided to stage ourselves on the 4th floor (5 was crowded and 3 was the exit). However, we met someone that said ...
