Carnival New Orleans Cruise Reviews

We love that the Dream is so close to home for us and we loved the ship! We live outside of Baton Rouge, so being able to cruise out of New Orleans and having a short drive is very appealing to us. We love the Dream! Especially the new additions since being in dry dock earlier this year. Guy's Burgers is the bomb!!!!! Best hamburger and LOVE the fries with ranch dressing. Perfect snack while ...

I have cruised several times on Carnival ships. Two years ago, I sailed on the Magic and had an amazing time, so when planning summer vacation for 2017, I naturally thought of the Magic’s sister ship, the Dream. From the very beginning, the trip did not live up to my expectations. The New Orleans port staff was extremely rude and put a bad taste in my mouth instantly. Once onboard, my husband and ...

We chose this cruise because we heard some great things about the Carnival Dream. I must say, the things that we heard were not exaggerated in the least. Do yourself a favor and take this cruise if you ever get the opportunity to do so. This was by far the best cruise line and ship that my family and I have ever been on, hands down. The ship was magnificent. It had all of the amenities that anyone ...

We've been on Carnival cruises in the past and they have upped their game! Service was very good. Food has gotten better. Shore excursions were very fun, well organized, very informative and priced appropriately. I found the spa services a little lacking however. Massage was okay. Certainly not the best I've ever had. The manicure was the worst ever. $50.00 and she fiiled the ridges off across ...

Overall the cruise was good to great. A few things could have been better but the whole experience was very enjoyable. The main reason for this review is the SPA and its importance to sanity. People cruise for many reasons. Some want loud, excited alcohol-fueled fun. Others want to meet people and make connections. Still others want to eat as often and as much as is humanly and even ...

This was our third cruise with Carnival and by far the most disappointing. I do not say not to cruise Carnival but I wouldn't cruise this ship again. For those who have cruised before normally the ship is constantly being cleaned either by the hand rails being wiped down, elevator buttons being cleaned or the floors being vacuumed. I rarely seen this happening durning the time we were on the ship. ...

This was my disabled sons first cruise so we did something with port that was drivable and affordable. He loved it. Our balcony cabin was alright. The crew couldn't have been nicer. Unfortunately, the shows sound was too loud for him we took earphones for him to wear but it was just too much so we didn't do the shows. He enjoyed the casino slot machines, but as a non smoker the smell was just ...

We booked this cruise of part of a package which included Chicago, Memphis ans New Orleans. With 7 nights in the Bahamas. All in all had a fantastic vacation, but cruise element was a it disappointing. Loved the ship layout and the staff. Negatives for us was the food which was never hot, and the Casino. Who allows smoking anymore in public places, Carnival does. A big big put off for us, we ...

This was our first balcony room and we will now only travel in a balcony room. It was well worth the money. We were able to have the partitions removed and enjoyed our group as a whole. The staff, as always, was a step above. Making this a truly relaxing vacation. The Blue Iguana Cantina, hands down the best tacos I have ever had (even compare to cozumel). Guys Burger was not disappointment. ...

There's always something going on on this cruise. There was an excellent violin group on the ship but the volume in the lobby on deck 3 is too loud. I will say that we ended up in a handicapped room. It was very small but had a very roomy bathroom. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who doesn't need it. Those would be our only complaints. This crew really takes the extra effort. We would be ...
