Carnival Mexican Riviera Cruise Reviews

We chose this cruise as it's only a 50 minute flight to Long Beach. The ship was very clean and I'm not sure how Carnival does it, but their staff is amazing. We took our 7 year old grandson and had a deluxe ocean view with to bathrooms. There was enty of room for the 3 of us. It was 2 hort flights to the Vista dining room. We always take my time dining as we enjoy the flexibility. The Food ...

We're frequent cruisers, who mainly sailed on Carnival years ago for the shorter, party itineraries. We have been mainly sailing on Celebrity since then but wanted to go on this specific itinerary and thought Carnival might be fun for our son. We didn't know what to expect and to my surprise, they nailed it, it was a surprisingly good cruise. The ship itself was beautiful, clean, and the staff was ...

Hello! We are in our 40s with a tween. We have cruised several times- 3 with Carnival, Royal, and Norweigan. Pros: The ship is beautiful! She is well maintained. Staff was fantastic. Room steward did an excellent job. She was always cheerful. Our waiter was fantastic. He was attentive. I loved the Italian restaurant and the pizza. All of the onboard activities was great. Slides, sky rider, and ...

The live music around the ship was really good. The ship was clean and the staff were friendly and attentive. The food was so-so. I didn’t really care for the food available around the pool (which should probably be improved bc the service was very slow and just okay tasting). Didn’t love the Lido deck food, which all looked about the same to me. Would have loved a different section of gluten free ...

First, I apologize for this novel but I do like to provide thorough information for others to reference! I have sailed twice on Disney Cruise Line (2018-2019) and five times on Royal Caribbean (2022-2023). I’m a travel agent and looking to expand my offerings and the best way to do that is to keep sailing! I live on the west coast and Carnival has a noticeable presence here year round, so I found ...

This was our 12th cruise and 5th one with Carnival. I'm definitely a fan of the FUN ships. Embarkation in Long Beach is pretty streamlined. We always fly in a day early and stay on the Queen Mary the night before. Just get up and walk across the parking lot and your off. It makes it so easy and the Queen Mary is such fun. The ship was in great shape. Not the traditional crazy colors that ...

To be honest, we had a great time. There were so many unsupervised kids running around. I can’t imagine why parents are not watching these kids. They sit on stairs on decks eating and leave excess food where they sit. This was a weekend and kids were not back to school after winter break. Also, several big birthdays, anniversaries and bachelorette parties. Party, party party. What ...

Amazing! This cruise was so good. The decoration was so unique Alice & Wonderland themed. The food was TO DIE FOR ! The entertainment was amazing. Wow. The workers were the best people ever. Amazing time. Go to all the activities and shows. They’re all so good Definitely go to the dining room every night and for brunch. Also spend the extra and go to Nic & Nora’s- best steak and sides I’ve ...

I will start with a quick summary of our cruise and then break it down into sections with more detail. First, a little about us, we are an easy going family of four including two kids aged 8 and 11. We have been on nine Carnival cruises as a family so we are pretty experienced cruisers. Quick summary: Panorama is a very nice ship with lots of amenities, activities, and entertainment to keep ...

Embarkation: We always stay at the Hotel Maya in Long Beach the night before our cruise. We book the Park and Cruise package which includes the room, eight nights of parking, and a free shuttle to/from the Carnival cruise port which is about a five minute drive. We had FTTF with a 12:00 arrival appointment. We decided to head to the port early. We arrived at 10:40, dropped off our luggage, and ...
