Carnival New Orleans Cruise Reviews

The dream is about Carnival's largest ship, but it has no additional elevators, or eateries, or activities, or lines for getting on/off the ship. After 4 prior Carnival cruises, I was surprised just how desperately this ship needs to be adjusted for it's larger number of cabins. Even at off-peak times, there were always long lines for most everything. We ended up using the stairs a lot, due to the ...

Yes, we had fun. But this week on the Dream was below average due to housekeeping and dining. These just were not up to how things were even a year or two ago. Houskeeping twice a day? That’s what we specifically requested face-to-face with our steward. We were lucky to receive service one time each day. Some days, nothing. To elaborate, our bed was made just four times (including when ...

We sailed on the Dream for a seven day Western Caribean cruise. The cruise was scheduled for two days at sea three ports - Montego Bay, Grand Cayman, Cozumel and another sea day. After the Grand Cayman stop the Captain headed the ship back to New Orleans. He said that there was engine trouble and we could only travel at half speed. Although he apparently knew this when we left Grand Cayman, he ...

We were a group of 5, in two balcony rooms, selected this cruise due to its departing from New Orleans. The boat broke down in transit from Grand Cayman to Cozumel. They could not fix it in time, so we had to spend an extra day at sea, and all they offered us was a 50.00 per person on board credit. Well boo hoo! We had plans for Cozumel and they act like missing one third of the ports is no big ...

This cruise was a gift from our son. The food the first two days and nights were terrible. Thankfully it did get better as the cruise went on. However, one night, for no reason at all and without warning, our dining room seating was changed without our consent. We went from having very hospitable and friendly service personnel to people who barely acknowledged us. We were still waiting on our ...

Well this was my first time on Carnival, have cruised before on other lines and it will definitely be my last. First time having a balcony and when booked, I made sure to tell the booking agent from Carnival that it was important to me to have a nice balcony and nice location - she encouraged me to use the guaranteed option and not pay the extra to pick your cabin, since they all start on the 6th ...

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 ...

I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED!! Both of us are in our EARLY 60' s. unfortunately it was April Spring break and the ship was overrun with children and young adults. The adult only area is small but nice, need to have two pools and more umbrellas. Also being that it was spring break they opened the adult pool up to the children as well! Impossible to get into the pool, did sit on the edge for a short ...

I used to love Carnival. Not the case anymore. This cruise, to put it politely, SUCKED. The service in the Scarlet Restaurant was non-existent. The service of the waiters and waitresses, non-existent. Trying to get a soft drink on this ship is like pulling teeth. No one pays attention to you unless you are an alcoholic. All the fun things happened while everyone was in Port, and the only thing ...

I cruise every spring break. I chose this cruise because they dates were right, the price was good, and the debarkation port is awesome (New Orleans). The food in the Scarlet dining lounge was not good, the service was even worse, much worse. The shows in the Encore lounge were fantastic. But why the wait? Ship's crew left the doors closed (light and sound checks, presumably) until ...
