Carnival Mobile Cruise Reviews

Day 1 Leaving Mobile. We were a family of four travelers 4 adults with two cabins, R20 and R26. We arrived via car at the Mobile cruise terminal around 10:30am, parking easy garage parking and $85 as expected, payable prior to parking. Adequate space to unload car, and send luggage with porter. The group could have let one park car, and others proceed on to the terminal, but we chose to all stay ...

EmbarkationWe arrived at the Alabama Cruise Terminal around 11:30am. We were able to unload luggage and park car quickly (had to pay increased parking fee of $85). We then proceeded to first of many lines. Though the lines seemed long the whole process was not too bad. We were on the ship and eating on Lido deck by 1:00pm.Day 1 - DepartureThe first day went smoothly. We got into our room after ...

My adult daughter and I took our second cruise on the Elation on May 30 from Mobile, AL. We stayed at the Microtel in Saraland, AL and did their "Park and Cruise" option. We arrived before our room was ready after making the 8 hour drive from Missouri. The clerk felt sorry for us and bumped us up to a suite at no extra charge. Our room was great. After resting a bit we drove down to Dauphin Island ...

Let me first start by saying, I was very nervous about this cruise after all of negative reviews I had read prior to sailing. This is my second cruise on Carnival, the first having been in 1986 on the Festivale. This was my husbands first cruise. We started out by staying at the Renaissance Riverview Hotel in Mobile the night before the cruise and had the sail away cruise package. Very clean ...

We've cruised many times in the past and were supposed to be on a hiatus this year..until I saw a good price on this cruise and talked DH in to going for Mothers Day, birthday, anniversary, etc. I think this was our 9th Carnival cruise. Enough background, on to the cruise.We went to our cabin on day one to find the beds together and immediately found our cabin steward to tell him that neither ...

We booked our cruise on the Carnival Elation at the last minute for Spring break 2011. We drove to the port of Mobile and prepared to board the ship. We booked a "funsaver" rate that they assign your room, NEVER do that!!!!! The lines were extremely long to check in and board the ship. It was about two hours waiting in long lines. When we finally got on the boat, the buffet was so crowded, there ...

Sailed on April 9, 5 day to cozumel etc. Out of 15 cruises, this is the first one that we encountered any problems. The ship was not at the port when we arrived. We always look forward to driving into town and spotting the big red tail. When we see the tail we really get excited. We soon found out that the ship would be delayed for hours because of fog. We were told to follow a police car to ...

Overall the trip was a win!! Great people, great sites, great fun. There were a few dips in my opinion of Carnival on this trip. Our wait staff on previous trips were AMAZING. This time they seemed almost sluggish. The final night of our cruise I never even received my food! We had to ask for water and bread refills nightly and other guests at our table had to wait 15 minutes for ketchup or ...

This was mine and Hubby's second cruise! This was our first time on the Elation! We went with friends who were cruising for first time. We arrived about an hour early. Porters were available to help with luggage. Parking in parking deck was easy. Boarding went quickly. Once on board we went straight to Lido deck for Lunch. At 1:30p we were allow to go to our rooms. Cabin was very clean and our ...

We really enjoyed our time aboard this ship! She is very beautiful and I personally like the smaller size. Enjoyed all the entertainment except the "Win" show. Strange concept for a cruise ship show and some of it was a little offensive. We loved the main singer in the lounge and really enjoyed the duet by the pool on the Lido deck. We also liked both comedians.Lots of games and activities in ...
