Lawrence Cruise DIRECTOR MAKES THE BOAT A NON STOP PARTY!

I originally chose this cruise because of the two stops in Mexico and days length, leaving Galveston was a plus as well since I was coming from Houston. Little id I know we were going to get a gift I couldn't even predict. Lawrence the Cruise Director was AMAZING!! He is one of those people that lights up a room wherever he goes and he made us feel like family and we all had a BLAST!! The Motown ...

Great ship with mediocre dining.

Overall our group enjoyed the ship. We visited Cozumel, Costa Maya, and Roatan. Onboard amenities were nice, but the food was definitely not first rate. Best food we had all week was the barbecue lunch at Pig and Anchor. Lots of rave about ChiBang, but it was a ChiBust. The nightly dining room food was just OK. Definitely not a fan of the overall dining experience. The pools were nice, ...

Booked this cruise based on price and length of cruise. Wanted my family including my boys to get a taste of a short cruise. Staff members were very nice and helpful. Food was just ok. Large variety of food choices. Burgers, pizza, chicken, and BBQ just to name a few. Interesting travelers/clientele. Budget cruise. You get what you pay for. Smelled a lot of marijuana. Travelers were drunk the ...

Fantastic crew on a cramped and unexpected party cruise

We haven’t sailed Carnival in 10 years but recall it being SO MUCH FUN. This sailing met our exact date, duration and port so we were happy to return to Carnival. The Not so Great: Upon arrival we were ushered to the side of the parking garage so a worker could take our bags. Before we could even offer he asked for a tip. We are generous tippers in all regards, so to be asked for one ...

I recently took 7 family members on the Carnival Elation and to my surprise, this has been the worst vacation to date. The food, ports, service and entertainment was subpar. I’m convinced it left with Covid. If you’re looking for a budget cruise in amenities and staff attitudes, with prices and charge ups that doesn’t balance, please book now. I have been on three other cruises with Carnival and ...

This will be a concise review of some things I struggled to find before we left, things we wondered about and the trip in general. Sydney: loved the city. So much to see and do in the area. We arrived 2 days prior and thank good ness we did. The trip was long, especially the flight from LA to Sydney. There are all the chain hotels but they are relatively pricey, especially near the port. We ...

A Mixed Experience Aboard the Carnival Luminosa Cruise

My recent cruise aboard the Carnival Luminosa was a mixed experience, marred by a significant issue that unfortunately affected our enjoyment throughout the trip. While there were several positive aspects to highlight, the persistent smell of cigarettes in our room proved to be a major inconvenience and detriment to our overall experience. Firstly, I must commend the Carnival Luminosa's staff ...

We picked this cruise because my brother is local and didn't want to fly. It fit nicely into our tight schedule and I thought it would be fun for my 30 something niece. I had read that it had undergone a refurbishment last fall, so I was shocked that the room didn't seem to have any upgrades. It actually seemed like a floating Motel 6 and they don't have any body lotion or conditioner in the ...

My least favorite cruise on Carnival - Venezia June 2023

We were supposed to be on Magic but they transferred us to Venezia. Was worried at first that they moved us from the 11th floor to the 1st, but having a window and seeing the ocean right outside our room was great. Had a family suite with 2 bathrooms (1 with a toilet, the other with a tub). Was very excited that this was going to be an Italian style cruise -- I love chicken parm and Magic had ...
