We took this cruise to celebrate our 50th Wedding anniversary. I am so glad we did. This was our 8th cruise with Carnival and it did not disappoint. We had blast meeting new friends and singing in the Piano Bar with Elizabeth (She was Fantastic). We toured Pearl Harbor which was a real moving experience. I can't say much about the food because my wife and I agreed to not make this trip all about ...
Chose this cruise to "get away and have a good time." Sadly with cruises of longer length there is a much older crowd. The ships nightlife was not as energized as my previous cruises. Carnival did do a good job of trying to please all but a shotgun blast will only work for close range and shorter cruises. Previous Journeys cruises I have been on did provide so much more entertainment and a ...
My title sums it up. I thought it would be nice to have 4 days before and after visiting Hawaii. It did not think about the fact we may have to skip a port or 2. Even that did not seem too bad until it happened. In Honolulu, we were told we could not get into the next stop because of bad weather at that port. We were told that we could have a 2nd day in Honolulu. OK That seemed reasonable, BUT we ...
This may be the last time to see my BROTHER. That was the main reason for my wife & I to go. We were looking forward to be in THE GRAND SUITE .Little did we know that we where going to have a room with major things so wrong and during the cruise we missed two ports and two excursions and we were stuck on the ship for two extra days. My wife and I decided to fill up the whirlpool tub in our room. ...
This was my second Carnival cruise. I had, overall, a good time and I will start with the good from this cruise.
The staff was incredibly friendly and seemed to be everywhere. Jaime, the Cruise Director was fantastic. I am retired USAF, and the military program one afternoon was memorable. Many vets I saw were in tears. Possibly due to the itinerary which included Honolulu, there were an ...
Hawaii was the final state for us to visit. We signed up for this cruise on a previous Carnival cruise and got $250 on board credit, plus $250 for being a stockholder! The 4 sea days going to Hawaii did not seem as long as the 4 sea days coming back. This was a 15 day cruise, so we were starting to get "cruised out" and our last stop was Ensenada before returning to Long Beach. The Miracle is well ...
Poor: Housekeeping, Food, Service, Attitude. Old ship. This ship is very old if it would try to get a higher speed than 25 knots it would most likely fall apart, speaking of the ship and it's engine, you can feel the engine roaring and vibrating on every floor. If you want to know how it felt like sleeping, tell your Grandmother your dying, put your phone on vibrate and under your pillow and try ...
We haven't gone on Carnival for 16 years as we were trying to get Elite on Princess Cruises. We generally get a mini-suite on Princess but decided to save a few bucks and try a balcony room. We paid for Faster to Fun Pass ($59.00) and it was well worth it. We got on right after the Suites and disembarked 8:05 am to hardly any lines at Customs. It was great!
Our room was a pleasant ...
I had a great time! Stewardess was attentive and pleasant. Cruise director was full or energy and outgoing! This woman is a superwoman.. She attends online school for her graduate degree and runs the ship with high energy and enthusiasm. Comedy shows were hilarious..except for one guy. I actually felt embarrassed for him. lol..But entertainment was great! Party atmosphere and stuff for kids to do ...
This was our third Carnival Cruise.We were with our best friends and had cabins in the aft next to each other.I had ordered a bottle of champagne online so we could have a toast when we got to our cabins.The bottle was on the counter but not on ice.I asked our cabin person if we could get a ice bucket for our champagne. He said he didn't have any. The bottle sat on the counter the whole trip and ...
