Carnival Ecstasy Review
Rating by category
Additional details
We booked three cabins to celebrate my upcoming birthday. The cruise left Charleston right on time and we had remarkably good weather the entire trip with only a few brief showers. It is an older ship, but kept in very good condition and very clean. We are experienced cruisers so the excursions didn't really appeal to us.
Pros:
Entertainment: Gary, the 26 year old cruise director was excellent. I don't easily pass out praise but he really kept the party going. You'd swear that he had an identical twin on board the ship as he'd be in the lounge one minute and then on the Lido Deck in an entirely different outfit the next. The evening shows were top notch with amazing talent. The comedy acts were really good and I'd say that we hit almost every show and the sets provided by the two comedians were never repeated.
Cabin Review
Interior
Our cabin was a typical small inside room and just as we expected. Our steward kept it clean and we simply used it to sleep, change or bathe.
Take note: This ship was built in 1991 before the dawn of everyone having mobile devices.... Our cabin had two AC receptacles of which one was above the mirror in the bathroom facing down (things don't stay easily plugged in) so charging multiple devices could present a challenge to you. We improvised the bath receptacle by jamming a selfie stick from the tray above the sink upward to hold a cell charger in place.
