Seattle Carnival Spirit Cruise Reviews

The cruise was a very enjoyable trip for my husband and myself. Embarking and disembarking went smoothly and quickly. The muster station is now just a quick check-in. The ship was very clean in all the public areas and restrooms. My only complaint was the dirty windows of the ship. Our hard-working steward kept our cabin clean all week. There was only one outlet in our cabin. We brought along ...

We booked a group cruise with family and friends during the anniversary sale last year and were able to find a great price for two connecting balcony rooms for our family of 5. The cabin location was perfect, toward the aft of the ship, but close to the elevators. We loved the Spirit - it's a smaller, older ship but well maintained and everything was close. The elevators were all working and ...

I originally booked the cheapest cruise I could find, as a single passenger. I got an interior room near the bow to myself for an 8-night cruise to Alaska for under $250, before taxes and add-ons. My expectations were low, especially given the price. This was my first time on a Carnival ship, and my first time on an Alaska cruise. I expected to be unimpressed with the views and ports, as I grew ...

After reading posts on Cruise Critic we decided to get into Seattle a day early and stayed at the Westin in Downtown Seattle. The Westin is a perfect place to stay. It is centrally located for all the touristy things to do in Seattle. The roms are very confortable and with our room in the north tower, an excellent view of the Space Needle. The Carnival Spirit is a beautiful ship. All the ...

This was one of our best vacations. We arrived in Seattle a few days early and spent time enjoying the waterfront and downtown. It is a fun city! I was concerned about staying downtown when making reservations, so we stayed at The Inn at Queen Anne, Queen Anne district. This is an old hotel, very charming, but, remember, it is old. It doesn't have an elevator, so ask for a first floor ...

I traveled on the Spirit to Alaska on my Honeymoon last year with my husband. It was our first cruise experience. We chose Carnival because they offer a wedding registry program, where your wedding guests can make purchases toward your trip. We found this to be a great way to supplement our costs and it cut down on cumbersome gifts to transport home after our destination wedding. We found the ...

August 28th sailing on the Carnival Spirit. Probably our favorite vacation to date an we've done our share of traveling. We arrived in Seattle the Saturday before the cruise. We splurged a bit and opted for car services for our transportation. We used Sabre Limo- reasonable, no issues. We stayed at the Fairmont Olympic for 3 nights prior. This is one of the older hotels in the city but it is a ...

This was our second cruise with Carnival (previous cruise was on the Carnival Dream in Jan 2012) and it was really fantastic. First off we drove to the port and parked and the "Cruise and Park" which was $30 cheaper per week than the parking at the cruise terminal. This parking was less that 5 minutes from the terminal and the shuttles ran very regularly. We were amazed at how fast we were able ...

Since I read so many reviews before sailing, I thought I would try and give details from our cruise to help other cruisers. We were on a Quilting Cruise through Travel Connections in Illinois. My business partner and I were teaching on the cruise while the ship was at sea. It is a great way to go if you are a quilter! In case you are wondering, you don't have to bring a machine. Bunny has a dealer ...

We also were NOT impressed with the dining room. Food was mediocre at best. One daughter and I both got one of our favorite desserts - creme brulee - mine was pretty good - my daughter's was scrambled eggs - yuck! Another night there was an apple dessert that I wanted to try - it said it came with vanilla ice cream - I'm still waiting for the ice cream :-( First time I've come home from a cruise a ...
