I don't get homesick...and wanted to go home
Onboarding their computer system crashed and they lost 2,500 people's registration information. Lines were terrible and hot. They cut corners in everyway on included food and drinks. Nothing I ate was good. We only tried our dining room once and it wasn't good. The two mornings bacon was available they would monitor giving two pieces. Included food ...
DW and I are testing the waters for later in life. We did our first cruise ever on RC in Feb and this was our chance to see how Carnival was in comparison.
We did an inside cabin to keep it simple. Took the drink package, did 1 excursion, and some limited extra dining (steakhouse and Cucina).
Two things really jumped out at us between the 2 lines:
The party rarely even pauses on ...
The food was amazing! They have so many gluten-free options! Paul Mark was our awesome waiter every night and he was the best! Buffet food had so many options! American, Mexican, Italian, Mediterranean, French, Sandwiches, and pizza! The Guys' burgers were amazing! When we were in Belize, I was the only person on the Serenity Deck! High recommend staying on the ship for at least one port day. Lei ...
I have sailed with Carnival several times over the past 10 years and have always enjoyed my trips. It just seems to me that the quality of the food as well as the service has decreased over that time. I would describe the food on this last trip as Ok. We did not have a bad meal on this trip, but the food was just OK. We did have some very friendly crew members provide us with a great experience, ...
We have went on many cruises and have always enjoyed our time. The Miracle is a smaller ship, you can feel the waves if you’re on the back or front of the ship. Food in the dining room was nice but not excellent, they have made it where you have to pay for room service and menu is not that great. Staff was great!
The last two days were not good for us, we decided to eat breakfast out by the ...
We took this cruise out of Tampa and traveled with a group of 13 friends.
Overall, we were pleased with the crew. Food quality was good to very good. We ate breakfast and dinner mostly in the Dining room. The Wait staff was great.
Our Cabin Steward was the best and we were very impressed with him.
I was VERY disappointed in the "Beach Escape" excursion in Costa Maya. The beach was ...
TLDR; While we had multiple small issues with our vacation, we still ended up having a good time. The staff and food were amazing, the physical problems with our room and app were the major turn offs. Would we sail Carnival again? Likely no unless it was a family/friend group trip.
This was my first Carnival cruise since I was 16 (I'm 45 now) and I always had fond memories of those boats and ...
This was a family cruise that has had to be rescheduled 3 different times.

Main Dining Room Wait staff - 4 stars

All Bartenders - 5 stars
Spa staff- ...
This is my 7th cruise on Carnival. All of them from Galveston as we live just north of Houston. I actually think this is my last Carnival Cruise. I've followed the Video Bloggers and I'm up to date on the price increases and service decreases but unless you have been cruising before I don't think you will notice it but for someone who has been on 15 different cruises II noticed it right away. ...
We chose this cruise because of dates, location, and itinerary. The Carnival Magic appeared very run down. Lots of rust and flaking paint. Our cabin with balcony was fine. Lido deck was fine.
The main issue is Carnival taking the "magic" out of the dining room experience at night. We have cruised over 25 years and have seen a steady decline in that experience. Tablecloths and multiple ...
