Carnival Cruise Reviews

This Australian vacation was planned as a break from the gloomy winter in Olympia WA in the USA. We began our cruise in Brisbane Australia headed for a couple small islands in the South Pacific. First two days at sea; This ship is showing its age. It feels very closed in compared with newer ships. The food selection and quality is below par. The servers are friendly and welcoming. I have ...

This was my 3rd carnival cruise, 2nd out of JAX... first was the ecstasy, then sunshine out of Charleston then this ship again out of JAX. The ship itself was ok, clean rooms, pretty consistent with the other 2 carnival ships I've been on. One thing I love about carnival is their customer service. Everyone is so friendly and eager to help! My son (5) was obsessed with the camp ocean team he wanted ...

Our steward , clauvet . was amazing, he went above and beyond for us and made sure to make our little girl smile . He left gifts for her every time he cleaned our room . He was super friendly and attentive. Always made sure we had everything needed . I hope he gets rewarded for a great review because he deserves it The whole boat staff was friendly, attentive. Always seen them doing ...

Not apples to apples! Great time with our daughter and her 3 boys ages 6, 3, 1! boys were too young to participate in some of the fun, plus the weather was on the coolish side, but that is on us. we made the best of what was lovely about the experience. my daughter chose an interior cabin for this "cruising experiment." she was amazed how well they fit...she and baby in queen bed and boys ...

We have went on several cruises with Norwegian and Royal Caribbean, but not Carnival Freedom. We had several issues before leaving with CF after we did an upgrade to our room. They charges us again for soda and gratuities after the upgrade. Please make sure that you understand it is a bubbles soda package(CF doesn't tell you it is just pepsi products)- We paid for extra for a suite with extra ...

Shows this cruise because it fit my schedule and the price was reasonable. However, the food at the Monet dining room. Very good food I give the food at the Monet dining room along with the service five stars. The ship does show its age it’s got rusted out parts on the ship, we can see holes nothing would make it see worthy. The reason why I will never go on Carnival again is because they ...

We chose this cruise because of the itinerary and length of cruise. I had been on a Carnival ship years ago and had a great experience. This cruise started off with a dirty stateroom that clearly had not been vacuumed. Crumbs and fingernails all over the floor and the desk area was sticky and dirty, as was the opening around the window. In addition, we had a non-functioning remote control and they ...

Having cruised on the original Excel class ship (Mardi Gras) in 2022, we were looking forward to sailing on the Celebration, expecting similar entertainment quality and value. We got a big shock concerning the entertainment offerings shortly after departing. The shows featured at the center stage (the three-deck atrium) were very lackluster in comparison. There may have been a technical issue ...

We took the nude cruise, and it was the first cruise of any kind we had ever taken. I’m very active in the nudist community, and meeting so many of the people I had previously spoken to only online was amazing. Bare Necessities Tour and Travel chartered the cruise and did an amazing job. We were going to do just this one cruise, but we wound up signing up for next year’s Big Nude Boat. As far as ...

I am a Platinum cruiser with Carnival and have always enjoyed each and every cruise, there have been many. One of the many enjoyments is the Lido Buffet. This was my first SUNSHINE cruise, and I was disappointed. The ship is old. I always get a balcony room and noticed the rooms are smaller, and if you don't mind standing on the toilet to close the bathroom door than you'll have no problems. The ...
