First cruise after Covid was a learning experience
"Main dining room was mostly deserted with slow food service, small portions and strange options like stuffed mushrooms in marinara sauce and wafer thin prime rib or tiny sea day steak at brunch.Cruises on carnival in the past featured high quality food and great social times in the main dining room...."Read More

Angry and sad staff!

Review for a Alaska Cruise on Carnival Spirit

I cannot tell how excited my family was for this cruise! With the exception of a few, my concierge John, our wait staff (Amazing) and the ladies who did our nails and the manager of the spa...Everyone else seemed like they were being held captive! I kept asking "how long have you been on"? It was insane! The activities director Sucked! Seriously, my daughter is 31 and she was bored out of her ...

Great Alaskan Cruise

Review for a Alaska Cruise on Carnival Spirit

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

The cruise was a very enjoyable trip for my husband and myself. Embarking and disembarking went smoothly and quickly. The muster station is now just a quick check-in. The ship was very clean in all the public areas and restrooms. My only complaint was the dirty windows of the ship. Our hard-working steward kept our cabin clean all week. There was only one outlet in our cabin. We brought along ...

Beautiful little ship

Review for a Alaska Cruise on Carnival Spirit

DM68
2-5 Cruises • Age 50s

We chose this cruise for our first time to Alaska. Many activities and shows everyday. We went to all the music shows, game shows, and some of the comedy shows. Beautiful small ship even though it's older. I would give 5 stars but the Lido dining is a nightmare. Not enough room to sit at breakfast or lunch. During the Tracy Arm Fjord Day, some passengers got up early and planted themselves at the ...

Another wonderful Carnival cruise!

Review for a Alaska Cruise on Carnival Spirit

6-10 Cruises • Age 50s

We booked a group cruise with family and friends during the anniversary sale last year and were able to find a great price for two connecting balcony rooms for our family of 5. The cabin location was perfect, toward the aft of the ship, but close to the elevators. We loved the Spirit - it's a smaller, older ship but well maintained and everything was close. The elevators were all working and ...

Review for a Panama Canal & Central America Cruise on Carnival Spirit

10+ Cruises • Age 50s

We chose this ship for the itinerary. The Caribbean, Panama Canal, and Alaska were booked back to back to back for 31 days, same cabin. It was fantastic. The staff were so wonderful. Everyone made every effort to ensure we had a great time, and that we got everything we needed. Our room steward was always there to take care of everything with the cabin as well as keep us up to date on ...

Review for a Caribbean - Southern Cruise on Carnival Spirit

Dr JRodz
10+ Cruises • Age 50s

I’ve been on over 13 cruises Carnival is the most that I’ve been on. I’ve been on Norwegian royal Caribbean carnival, but I’m looking to go on another cruise for next year again. So I’m looking for a new adventure. I enjoyed the cruise this time after Covid. I’ve noticed a lot of things have changed for the better. The signing up for the breakfast through the phone waiting on your table for the ...

Review for a Caribbean - Southern Cruise on Carnival Spirit

2-5 Cruises • Age 40s

Our cruise included 6 adults, 4 of witch are seniors, and 3 children, ages 6,12,15. We had an early check-in and were on the ship around 10:30. The room would be available around 2:00. The pools were available, the water slides opened at 12:00, and food was available at several places. We picked this cruise ship for a couple reasons, first activities for the kids, 2 water slides, one for young ...

Carnival No Longer Cares

Review for a South Pacific Cruise on Carnival Spirit

raecyn324
6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

Carnival Spirit is old and has not updated for over 8 years. Even when updated lots of original items remain; bathrooms and carpets are outdated. Food gets worse each year, especially for someone who prepares meals each day with fresh food. Long lines everywhere. Transportation from airport to ship is horrific! Not worth paying for this service, figure on waiting hours at the airport ...

Poor condition of ship/smoking areas

Review for a Caribbean - Eastern Cruise on Carnival Spirit

Finntheperson
2-5 Cruises • Age 50s

Ship needs upgrade, my previous cruise on norwegian was on a newly renovated ship with good layout so this ship's condition seemed like real eyesore to me. I will say that the food is better than on Norwegian. Also do not like layout of the Spirit. Common areas too few and very smoky. Could not escape the smoking areas. SMOKING AREAS!! Too many and could not visit 2nd or 3rd floor without ...

Nice older ship

Review for a Caribbean - Southern Cruise on Carnival Spirit

10+ Cruises • Age 50s

I felt the need to write a review of the Carnival Spirit because of so many negative ones I've read. Let me start out by saying I AM a seasoned cruiser. Been on over 20 cruisers. The Spirit is a older ship but easy to navigate and at full capacity doesn't feel crowded at all. This ship is NOT for kids!!!! People need to do their homework before booking or book with a experienced travel agt. There ...
