Carnival Caribbean Cruise Reviews

Having previously sailed on the ship for its 4 Day US Inaugural to Bermuda and a 6 Day cruise to Canada/New England. I figured I would share some updated thoughts on the ship after being in service for 8 months. Embarkation: We arrived just prior to our scheduled window of 10:00am, made it through security and had no issues. After that however, there was a delay of clearing off prior pax, so ...

We chose this particular cruise based on the itinerary. Aruba, Bonaire & Curacao were three islands that we hadn't visited together before, only Aruba & Curacao on a previous Carnival Cruise. Embarkation was a breeze but disembarkation was not and we our luggage was not where the signage said it would be when we went to look for it. We were part of group 22 for disembarkation which meant our ...

Went on this cruise line with my boyfriend and his family. PROS: -Staff on the ship was very friendly and they provided a good quality service. -Room service and housekeeping was great! Our stateroom was nice and cozy. -Guy’s Burger Joint provides tasty hamburgers and fries. -The lobster rolls were also pretty good. -We enjoyed most of the drinks at the pub and ...

In all of my years cruising Carnival this cruise director was the first I’ve come across that actually made people want to follow him and be apart of everything he was involved in or suggested! Superb job!!! They need promote him to trainer for cruise directors, for real for real-his energy is crazy good. I watched old and young vibing with him. Hope to come across his path again. The ...

We (a family of 3) decided to pick this cruise cause it was super last minute and we needed the specific dates. We got the unlimited drinks package and the bubbly package (no alcohol - it does not include water either). The check in process was smooth and we were able to get through it in less than 5 minutes - this involved the immigration where they checked out passports/ids and we didn't ...

We are first time cruisers. We are a family of five with 3 young children. I was worried about my kids' safety on board & if they are gonna be bored with the lack of activity, but there were a lot of fun activities that catered to all different age groups. The stateroom was comfortable and is cleaned regularly without us asking for the housekeeping team to clean it. We appreciate Achmad & Donnalyn ...

It’s a relaxing time , nice ship . My 2 favorite bars are only altitude, and golden jubilee . Chic classy with nice bartenders . Music on altitude is best . Buffet food is alright . Some good options . Loved the salads . I liked pig anchor outdoor bbq sausages . But cucina del capitano was the terrible experience ! I thought I’m going for an Italian fine dining , long 70 minutes wait and ...

This was my 35th cruise, but first ever NYE cruise. This cruise was myself, husband, daughter and her husband(this was his first cruise). Embarkment was fairly quick and easy. We were on this ship by 11:45am. Dropped off our luggage at our Spa Balcony cabin on deck 12 and headed to the Lido for lunch and a cocktail. Guy's Burger was delish as always. I didn't eat at the Lido buffet all ...

This is the worst Carnival Cruise I have ever been. The food the customer service staff areas and cleanliness is so bad that is not worth any money. The Restaurant staff are the worst they are so rude to the point of telling u the kitchen and bar are closed so we are not going to give nothing. To the point of the manager of restaurant telling you the first day of cruise that they don’t have ...

Took 5 day cruise to Bahamas on Elation. It is a Fun Ship! Everyone in our group including adults and children had a great time. Very nice staff. We loved Gabe, our cruise director, who was overflowing with energy and smiles! A few things to know about the Elation. It seems like an entry level cruise ship. Smallish and needing updating. Two hot tubs full of children <10 yrs old, plus two hot tubs ...
