Mexican Riviera Carnival Pride Mexican Riviera Cruise Reviews

We are from Canada, so we flew into LAX a few days early to look around Long Beach. If you can stay at the Queen Mary, it is wonderful and they treat you like a real cruise ship would. On Sunday we checked in early using the Queen Mary check in site. Since we stayed on the QM we knew where to go and what to do. the bellhops even took our luggage for us and we never touched a thing. Embark took a ...

Background information: This is my 7th cruise with the Carnival Company. It was the first time for us to be on Carnival cruise line. We have travelled with Holland America and Princess to Alaska and W. Caribbean. Ship : The interior of the ship was supposed to be a Renaissance theme. Instead, it looked cheap and tacky. I must say that the elevators were the fastest that I have been, which ...

First time sailing out of Long Beach and honestly San Diego is still my favorite. We used www.redvans.com for shuttle service from LAX and this not only went smoothly but saved over CCL transfers. Once at the port, it was a fluster of people, but Carnival did a great job funneling people on board. Once allowed to enter the terminal building, we were on board the ship in less than 15 min. Once on ...

Flew into Long Beach airport on Jet Blue. Quick $23 taxi to a hotel. We stayed for two nights at the Courtyard by Marriott prior to the cruise ($50/night on Priceline). Day of the cruise, we ambled to the supermarket within walking distance of the hotel, picked up a few bottles of wine (deciding at last minute to not use our rum-runners though liquor was available at the supermarket), and hopped a ...

This was our seventh cruise, but first on the west coast ... all others have been in the Caribbean. I read a lot of reviews prior to our cruise in an attempt to get a feel for what to expect, since we had never sailed out of Los Angeles (Port of Long Beach). EMBARKATION We arrived in LA the day before our cruise and we stayed on the Queen Mary. This was SO convenient ... right next to the ...

Well this was my second cruise with carnival. Was on the Carnival Paradise 4 years ago with the family. This trip was just me and my Girlfriend. We decided to fly in the morning of despite what most people recommended. Arrived around noon at LAX to SuperShuttle to the dock and got to the post around 12:30. EMBARKATION: Now everyone I read said that this would take anywhere from 30 mins to a ...

Embarkation was quicker than we'd expected - less than an hour after we first got in line at Long Beach (around 11:30), we were aboard the ship, filling our plates on the Lido deck! Our rooms were actually a nice surprise. We'd booked inside cabins to make traveling with so many affordable. Much was my delight to discover that the curtain in the room actually hid a balcony-sized door that opened ...

We just completed a 7 day Mexican Riviera cruise, January 18, 2009, leaving from Long Beach - ports of call - Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, and Cabo San Lucas. We had previously sailed on the Carnival Imagination (2 times), and this was our first Mexican cruise and first experience with the Pride. I had spent a lot of time researching everything, so was prepared for the good and bad. Was very ...

We booked this trip for our 20th wedding anniversary. This was our 2nd cruise. Our first was on the NCL Star back in 2007 to Alaska. We are in our early 40's. We live in Southern Oregon so we flew in the day before our cruise. Our flight left at 7:00am so got to the airport around 5am. By 5:05am we had our luggage checked and our passes ready. There was no one else in line. We were suppose to ...

Carnival Pride Cruise Dec 07 to 14 This was my second cruise (both with Carnival). My first cruise was a 4 day cruise on the Carnival Paradise in Jan 08. My girlfriend has cruised in the past, but got sea-sick. She said she would never cruise again. I told her that I would guarantee that she wouldn't get sick, and she didn't. In fact she enjoyed herself so much, she couldn't wait to go on ...
