Dirty, Boring, Poor Service, Bad Food

Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Carnival Glory

This was my first and last experience with Carnival. The first thing I noticed boarding the ship was how the staff did not interact well with the cruisers. The staff was kind and polite, but did not initiate any type of quality customer service. The ship is older and shows all the signs of wear and tear that are expected with an older ship. However, dirty is different than wear and tear. The ...

This was a bad cruise experience to say the least. The crew was friendly and kind but it was painfully evident they were under staffed on a sold out cruise. We have cruised with Carnival before and this cruise was poorly planned and executed. 30+ minute wait in the buffet lines over and over, poor choices and mediocre food. We waited over an hour for our anytime dining (not at out convenience) ...

Horrible service the boat has a sewage leak and the whole time we were gone our shower filled with grey water. Stinking up the room. Never could get our cards to scan so the sail and sign was a problem. The rats chewing and scratching in the walls were a thing. When u ask about any of it they brush you off. Paid for the bingo and won a prize to be told it was givin to another guest because of my ...

3rd carnival cruise, 2nd time this same ship and itinerary (went with group this time), and first post pandemic. Was disappointed with food. Buffet was same as dinning room, very limited diversity. We don't drink alcohol and generally only drink iced tea and water. The tea and lemonade was disgusting, how do you screw those up? Coffee and hot cocoa in buffet rooms were brown water. ...

I went on this cruise as part of a group. I flew into Jacksonville and was disappointed that they don’t have transportation to the port. Embarking was the usual maze but the walk up several planks to the ship was exhausting! Luckily a kind employee saw me struggling and allowed me to ride his scooter. The ship is old but well maintained. The food is nothing like it used to be years ...

Worst cruise ever

We all know a certain level of subpar experience is expected with Carnival like food and stateroom accommodations but this sailing was by far the worst in all of my experiences. I have had a lingering feeling for some time Carnival was cutting back on staff and services, starting with turn down at night and food quality (not that it was ever suburb) but that feeling is now glaringly obvious. Post ...

Review for a Hawaii Cruise on Carnival Miracle

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

I have been cruising with Carnival for the last 15 years and had good experiences with them up until 2024. We did the 15 day Hawaii cruise and were highly disappointed. Food and Service on the Carnival Miracle was subpar at best and the ship had many things out of service like ice makers throughout the ships drink stations. We noticed that there was far less crew in the MDR and at the bars. ...

So this was my 4th cruise.(all on carnival). I didn't really enjoy my first 3 cruises but my idea really wanted to go. I have been to the long Beach terminal on all 4 trips and never had an major issues with the staff until this trip. When arriving , I was surprised when told i had to drive offsite to downtown long Beach to park, ($80 prepaid btw), and take a shuttle back. This took about an hour ...

No biscuits and sausage gravy.or chicken fried steak foe breakfast. Same cold food over and over again. Not everyone wants Fancy food just good Comfort food. Entertainment sucked and not enough of them. The Entertainment ...

Actually the Spirit cruise chose us! My husband and I won the cruise through Windcreek casino. This was our first time sailing, it was not a wonderful experience at all. I fell and injured myself and the staff cared nothing about it, they just tried to clean up their mess, and charge me $125 to see a doctor at medic, before even being concerned about my injuries. I as really hurt, in fact, ...
