I selected this cruise because my wife was interested in the Carnival Magic and we both also had never been to Amber Cove. We opted in for a balcony room since it wasn’t much much more than the ocean view in pricing. We were on the 9th floor right by the elevators and the lido deck was on the 10th floor. I felt like every child in America was on this ship ! They were constantly running in the ...
Embarkation went smoothly and overall we had a good time. Muster call has definitely improved since you just check in at your designated station after boarding the ship. We booked an interior room which was actually more spacious than I have experienced on other ships. Our cabin was clean and my only complaint was the lack of electrical outlets as we only had one located in the vanity area and ...
First, we loved the itinerary of our cruise, our favorite thus far and I’ve cruised for more than a decade. I prefer smaller ships and this was our first try on a larger ship.
Compared to the Legend ship, the adults only area was horrible. The cushions were so worn and flat, people were doubling them up. And it didn’t seem as efficiently laid out so after people started doubling up on cushions ...
We haven't sailed since pre-covid and we needed a short cruise to get going again. Choose this to regain our sea legs. we live in Virginia, so this was a reasonably short drive down to Charleston. Arrived Saturday afternoon for the Sunday morning boarding.
My wife was on a mobility scooter and we contacted carnival early to fill out their forms. They directed us to the handicapped parking ...
I have been on many cruises and many on Carnival. Overall, I have loved the Carnival brand. It is a good value for money. However, the Sunshine is very well past her prime. Not only is it an old ship but I found it to be very dirty. The crew also don’t seem to be as on top of their game as on other ships. Slow service and not as welcoming. The layout is bizarre. It felt more crowded and ...
I went on this cruise because someone had booked it and wanted a cabin mate. The employees are great and work hard. We had Efrem in the cabin and Jimmy in the Dining room
Boarding was fun with about 20 employees dressed as characters greeting and high fiving everyone with upbeat music to welcome everyone.
Carnival cabins are nice because they are large with plenty of space for your ...
I have sailed on this ship before. What I remember the first time was excellent. You asked a crew member for something and they got it for you.
I have been on many cruises with other cruise lines. They all have there good and bad.
This trip I asked for items that they had and when i asked for it I was told they didnt service it up here. After nicely talking to a stripped officer they took ...
We've been on many cruises, most on Carnival, but this was the worst cruise we've been on for many reasons.
We paid a lot of money for a balcony room and were put on the lowest floor with a balcony that was always wet with standing water, rust, and at times had a terrible sewage odor. Our last day on the ship the sewage smell was in our room.
There were not enough electrical outlets in the ...
This is a short cruise. Port of calls are Key West and Cozumel. The ship is older, but it is clean, and staff was very nice! The formal dinners were very good, and the service was excellent. Do not order the duck. On the negative side. It is hard to sleep when your cabin is directly under the bar that has karaoke every night. The hair dryer is horrible, so bring your own. There is only one ...
My wife and I wanted to relax and clear our heads from some recent events and Costco had a decent offer for us. I'm just going to bullet point the main items and let everyone fill in the rest.
* The ship is in need of a big refresh. It is old and tired. Many small items......to many to mention, just hit a few big ones.
* Elevators were possessed. Press a floor button, doors close, feels ...
