Carnival Gourmet Food Cruises Reviews

There were way too many people packed in for the amount of space. Elegant night was a joke. We sat pushed between a divider and another couple and it was so loud in there no one could hear each other. This was after a two hour wait. We sailed on this ship several years ago and really enjoyed it. The Captain's night was very relaxed and special, a lovely dining experience. On this cruise, ...

I have cruised Carnival before and did not have issues but I have never booked excursions or room decor before so maybe this is standard. I ordered birthday decorations which they sold me but “ran out of” even though I ordered well in advance and had I known prior I could have brought decorations. Also booked an excursion, got the tickets then the night before got a cancellation notice. No real ...

We chose this cruise to sail with family. That was really the only good point. We are gold members and it's either our 7 or 8th cruise. Never able to get a deck chair. The entire ship is beat up and dated. The food was horribly disappointing. The entertainment was so very limited and just not up to carnivals usual standards. We paid for the Italian restaurant and the service was phenomenal. The ...

We cruised on the Carnival Sunshine 3-8 Feb 2024. As a welcome and taste of things to come, we were handeded rum punch in a water bottle that we could keep when we boarded.  Then we were told they were $26.  We handed them back. Our Stateroom Attendant, Komang,  was fantastic.  Very nice, and even remembered his assigned guests by name. I use a CPAP, but there wasn't an electric outlet by ...

I’ve traveled on other cruise lines and was surprisingly disappointed in Carnival. First of all, I have never been solicited to on a cruise as frequently and relentlessly as when I was on Carnival. It was almost unbearable, and a frustration I heard from many fellow passengers. But the worst critique is at the end. I had my toddler with me. The staff was all wonderful with her. But I had to ...

This was my first cruise and I was really looking forward to it. The excitement was hard to contain. But upon arrival at the terminal I was greeted with aggressive and unpleasant staff. As we were walking from the parking lot to the terminal, one carnival staff member threatened my gf with arrest for “jaywalking” when she walked beside me, placing part of her body outside the crosswalk. While ...

I cruise multiple times out of the year and this cruise by far was the creepiest, weird and disappointing. Here's my reasoning behind why we felt this way. Cons: 1. One of our port days was canceled which was Turks. We got a refund for $16...really. 2. Right before two of the major shows were canceled back to back we heard an announcement of an emergency, no follow up. If it's not for the ...

During my recent trip on the Carnival Magic ship, I found the decor and ambiance to be outdated, drab, and dingy. The carpet appeared old, and the bedding and curtains in the rooms were not up-to-date. The ship's entertainment, including the music selection, was not to my liking. The DJ played songs from the 80s and 90s almost exclusively, which was unexpected and did not feel current. I was ...

My husband, son and I just returned from a six day cruise on Carnival Magic. Let me start by saying this ship needs alot of upgrade starting with seating, cushioning worn and covered with stains along with carpet. It didn’t smell fresh. Secondly, we had balcony Deck 6 stain furniture and the windows must never get clean because you couldn’t see out your balcony same for the rest of the ship ...

I've been sailing with Carnival for over 10 years now, and I never have been on a ship this ill-prepared to handle its passengers. The ship was over-capacity, as it was a Christmas cruise. When sailing during breaks, I expect the ship to be at capacity. What I didn't expect was the absolute sheer number of families, and a ship with not enough staff to accommodate them all. First off, there were ...
