Mobile to the Caribbean Cruise Reviews

First the positives, Embarkation was fast and efficient, our ocean view cabin was clean and in good repair. Excellent cabin steward (Budi). The crew was very friendly and ship was clean. Best food was at Chopstix or Guy's Burger. Negatives - Guest services was more worried about playing on their phone than helping. On several occasions they gave incorrect information. No priority tendering ...

We have cruised on the Ecstasy a few times. We will miss her as her last voyages are near. The staff is amazing and even though she is old and weary the ship is spotless. We witnessed staff dancing with and playing with the children on board and going above and beyond to make hem smile. Also crew assisted disabled passengers in a fun and kind way. The food was the highlight. Even the buffet food ...

This was a last minute decision to cruise for us. Just happened to check rates on a Monday just being curious and found a great deal within driving distance of North Louisiana. We had never been on the Ecstasy or that class of ship before and figured this was probable the last chance we would have so we booked a 4 day leaving on Thursday. Well aware that this was the second cruise of the ship and ...

Pre-embarkation was a bit rough, Plain signs in Mobile - tips not required, although we do tip I was a bit taken back by the porter that looked at the money I gave him and the number of bags like it wasn't enough. Food was nothing to write home about and the next nights menus seemed to have leftovers cooked in a different manner. Food was not hot nor tasty or exciting. I had read on cruise ...

Let me start by saying that this was my 7th Carnival Cruise. If this had been my first, it would have also been my last. I have had nothing but good things to say about Carnival in the past, but this Cruise did not meet my expectations. -Cabin The room had a very musty smell, and the bathroom had mold everywhere. When our luggage arrived, we stored our clothes and left. When we came ...

My family booked this cruise as a last minute summer vacation. This was my 10th cruise (3rd with Carnival). We cruised last summer out of New Orleans on the Carnival Triumph and had a great time, so we thought we'd go out of Mobile this summer. We drove to Mobile and spent the night at the Renaissance with the drive/park cruise package. I believe parking at the port for a week is $125. Our ...

We've cruised many times in the past and were supposed to be on a hiatus this year..until I saw a good price on this cruise and talked DH in to going for Mothers Day, birthday, anniversary, etc. I think this was our 9th Carnival cruise. Enough background, on to the cruise.We went to our cabin on day one to find the beds together and immediately found our cabin steward to tell him that neither ...

Elation out of Mobile, February 17-21, 2011 The Rock Show, musical was good. Miniature golf was fun, except having to check out clubs two decks below putting green. Room M15 was large, huge closet, big bathroom, very clean. The portholes were nice to wake up to. The quick grill on Tiffany was great, wonderful omelets, outstanding Ruben, and super turkey wraps. The chocolate buffet was ...

We are from MO and had a 11 hour drive to get to Mobile, AL for our cruise. This was our second cruise with Carnival. The Elation was a smaller boat than the Conquest we took in Jan 2010. The only problem when we were trying to embark on the ship and trying to get into the parking garage. That was a huge headache. Once we got inside it was a breeze getting onto the boat. The lines moved fast. It ...

My family and I left on a cruise out of Mobile on September 20th. We are from Baton Rouge and decided to try staying at a hotel that had the park and cruise option. We were not disappointed with this decision. We stayed at the Microtel in Saraland. For $123 we got a very nice room with two double beds, continental breakfast, parking for the week and free shuttle to and from the cruise. It made ...
