First the positives, Embarkation was fast and efficient, our ocean view cabin was clean and in good repair. Excellent cabin steward (Budi). The crew was very friendly and ship was clean. Best food was at Chopstix or Guy's Burger.
Negatives - Guest services was more worried about playing on their phone than helping. On several occasions they gave incorrect information. No priority tendering ...
We chose this cruise due to it lining up with our kids spring break, our kids are 15 & 14. My wife and I quit drinking several years ago so your experience may differ from ours if you "partake in festivities". The onboarding process was much quicker and smoother than I expected given the amount of security you go thru. The room was neat, clean and had a large window compared to other ships that ...
Carnival Review
Our first cruise and I said to my wife, trying to explain the level of failure and the level of care regarding the buffet quality is basically saying if Walmart had a buffet, this would have been it, and Luby’s would probably still have given them a run and still lost. The food was absolutely the most disgusting thing I have ever seen attempted to be put as meals, and that’s ...
This seems like a very convenient and smaller cruise ship, but it is extremely crowded. I am 24 and they attempted to kick me out of the adult area 3 times, once telling me my card was not working and they could not tell my age. They assumed I was lying and I felt extremely unwelcome. I was the quietest one in the adult only area while other adults are screaming, fighting, and binge drinking in ...
This was our fourth carnival cruise. Our second cruise on the miracle. we loved the miracle and the staff and the food and everything so so much the first time around we decided to do a second trip on the miracle about a year later.
Embarkation went smoothly. Our cabin was nice. The bed was comfortable. The water was hot. Our room steward was fantastic as always. The food was good. The ...
We were a group of 17, part of a larger group who had been traveling in Australia and New Zealand. Several wanted to visit the Great Barrier Reef, and this cruise seemed to be an easy and fun way to do it. While we are not exactly "quiet and shy" people by any means, everyone in our group was annoyed by how loud everything on this ship was. The decor was loud, the other passengers were loud, the ...
I have cruised Carnival before and did not have issues but I have never booked excursions or room decor before so maybe this is standard. I ordered birthday decorations which they sold me but “ran out of” even though I ordered well in advance and had I known prior I could have brought decorations. Also booked an excursion, got the tickets then the night before got a cancellation notice. No real ...
This was not my 1st cruise with Carnival, but it may be my last. I know this ship isn't the newest, but I stayed on older and smaller ones in the past that put this to shame!
The Food- It was terrible, from the scramble egg soup in the morning all the way to the tougher than leather "Prime Rib" at dinner. It was bad. The buffet was the same food they served at dinner. Just somehow worse. I ...
Embarking on the Carnival Cruise from Tampa, Florida, from March 10th to March 16th, 2024, was an unforgettable experience that exceeded all expectations. The highlight of our journey was the exceptional service provided by our stateroom attendant, Antara. His attention to detail, warmth, and dedication to ensuring our comfort made our stay on the Carnival ship truly special.
Moreover, the ...
My parents and I have been cruising with carnival now for quite a few years all 3 of us being platinum members this was my 26th cruise and my parents 35th now seeing carnival has started to nickel and dime for every single little thing a lot has changed from our perspective and you’d think the last people you’d want to short are your loyal guests who are frequent return cruisers highly considering ...
