Galveston to Europe Carnival Cruise Reviews

I was skeptical to take another cruise out of Galveston with Carnival. My last cruise on the Ecstasy was five nights with stops in Progreso and Cozumel in June of 2008. On that cruise, I had an obstructed ocean view and felt like a stranger in a strange land. I’m not Texan. I don’t like country music. I have no tolerance for children running around in my vicinity. I don’t even like frozen sweet ...

There will be some that trash the January 15th trip on the Carnival Magic. I know this because I heard people on the ship planning it.

Need to go by deck or color tag on your luggage. People are real nice, till you get back to reality, then they go back to their real personalities. Beer is too expensive, can get a twelve pack here, for what they charge ...

Ahoy, matey! This was our first cruise of any kind, but it certainly won't be our last! Elation is a stunning ship, and the crew were all outstanding. If Long John Silver had taken this cruise, he'd of given up his evil pirate ways in favor of commanding a carnival on the high seas. Carnival Cruise Lines, that is...There are a great variety of fun activities on board, from laying out by the pool ...
