Defiantly not kid friendly cruise for ages 4 and under.My son is autistic and wasn’t able to experience the full amenities we were told when booking.They won’t allow kids to wear swimmers to get in the pool area or slide.The non American staff members were poorly educated on customer service,lack of communication,basic de-escalation skills,and no compassion for guest.Yet they let adults in the ...
The actual cruise was not worth the money spent. They couldn’t keep their own schedule up to date so it was a crap shoot if you show up for something. I brought this up to the attention of customer service multiple times and absolutely nothing was done. The food was mediocre at best and the ports were not that great. It seemed as if the crew on the ship were out of practice. We barely saw the ...
This was an 8-person family cruise (wife, two daughters, son-in-law, three grandsons and myself) onboard the Carnival Paradise last December. My wife and I cruised with Royal Caribbean in December 2021 and were trying to book with them again, but Carnival was the only cruise line that we could get to line up with all our schedules (SIL is active-duty Army, daughters have active careers as well). ...
We did our first carnival cruise right before covid was a thing on the liberty. It was a wonderful experience. I saw the paradise reviews and decided to take a chance since its out of Tampa and we live close. It honestly wasn't horrible. I'll start was cons...going into the buffet area is just annoying. My husband couldnt get the drink package without me getting it too and i dont drink. And there ...
Buyer beware: I bought praying cards and bracelets in the store on board the ship. The prices for BOTH items rang up for more than the sticker price. It was embarrassing to hold up the line while multiple staff members figured out how to fix the charges.
In the tobacco shop, I asked how many cartons of cigarettes people were allowed to bring back to the U.S. tax free and was told 8 cartons. ...
Myself and boyfriend took our 4 children on the carnival paradise on 10/13/2022-10/17/2022 for their first cruise. When we got on the ship the staff was very welcoming and nice. Day 1 on the ship wasn't bad but the food in the lido dining area was disgusting the only decent thing was pizza pirate. Once I got my luggage I opened up our suitcase to put our soda in the fridge and our soda was gone. ...
And that's a good thing. While Carnival is the Fun Ship, some have written that it was too much. I disagree. All in all, it was one of the better ships (of more than 10) that I have sailed and my first Carnival in over 10 years (switched from RC due to the pricing and itinerary). The 2 days at sea allowed us to enjoy the ship and we did.
Ocean view cabin (M202) was more than adequate with the ...
We have sailed on over 20 cruises with Carnival over the past 20 years. We are Platinum level. We have a total of over 40 cruises including other cruise lines. This is the first cruise with Carnival in over five years. We did not know what to expect.
Embarkation was as quick. Our check in time was between 1200 and 1230. We got at check-in at 1200 hours. We were sitting in the ship eating by ...
I have been on many ships with carnival cruise line and this was my worst experience ever. This cruise line has changed quickly. I am very disappointed in carnival cruise line. The refrigerator didnt work in the cabin. The quality of the food has extremely dropped. Also the portion sizes were so small. People was ordering 2 or 3 entrees just to try out to see if they would like it. I noticed ...
Choose as an easy, kid-free, romantic getaway to celebrate a milestone birthday. Embarkation and debarkation at the Port of Tampa is a breeze, although walking directions from the garage to the ship are misleading. Our cabin (deck 4 oceanview) was perfect for 2 people for a 4 night cruise, very clean and cabin attendant was wonderful. Shower curtain is awful as expected. The stateroom fridge was ...
