Carnival’s quality has suffered!

Fantastic Experience

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

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 ...

Me and my wife took this cruise to celebrate our anniversary and the dates worked out great for our schedules. This is our third trip on a Carnival ship and enjoyed our prior trips. We were actually a little disappointed on this one. Staff: The staff was kind and friendly with the both of us. Grace in the Red Frog Pub was friendly and met you with a smile. No issues with any of the staff ...

It is always good to be a sea. Here are a few things I wish I knew on this cruise. PARKING. Its been a few years (and maybe 40 cruises ago) we sailed out of Tampa. Thankfully we were close enough to drive. Frankly it is a bit confusing because the lots near the ship are not ship parking, they are for the aquarium. Do not attempt to park near the ship. The ship parking is a 4 story ...

I have cruise with Carnival four time in 6 years. It is normally a great experience. My last crews was not so. 1st. I was told I would have a $200.00 credit to cruise again, I never received the credit. When I ask, I was told it was given to another party of my group who was on there first cruise. Secondly, my toilet would not flush, I had to wait four hours for someone to come, I had to use a ...

We took this cruise out of Tampa and traveled with a group of 13 friends. Overall, we were pleased with the crew. Food quality was good to very good. We ate breakfast and dinner mostly in the Dining room. The Wait staff was great. Our Cabin Steward was the best and we were very impressed with him. I was VERY disappointed in the "Beach Escape" excursion in Costa Maya. The beach was ...

Boarding assistance was amazing. Boarding we were taken to elevator at our room, disembarking taken to curb with our luggage Folding walkers to move in and out of cabin was bothersome but there was plenty of room ...

After having our 2 previous Panama Canal cruises canceled due to the pandemic, we finally made it on board. It was so nice being back on a ship again. This trip was all about relaxation. We turned Platinum on this cruise. Tampa - Embarkation The Pride was docked at terminal 3. Tampa is a pretty easy port to navigate. The parking desk is quite close to terminal 2 and 3. Terminal 6 has ...

Selected this cruise based on a great casino rate & perks plus port within an hour of our home. The ship is showing some signs of its age and in need of some refurbishing but it was clean, had a fun casino, plenty of dining options and chill vibe. All of the staff no matter which bar, passing them in a hall/lobby were friendly. All of the bars were fantastic but during the day, we never left the ...

Strange behavior from my room steward…???!!! First, For some reason he thinks I need 10 rolls of toilet paper at any given time. Second, he got angry that the tucked my top sheet in under the mattress at the foot of the bed, so now he only provides a top sheet that goes as far as my waist, making it impossible to tuck in properly. If I tucked it in it would go from the foot of the bed to my knees. ...

I went on this cruise with a large group and had a pretty fun time. Ship staff were all polite, efficient and friendly and our room was clean and comfortable. Carnival offered a great variety of tours for every activity level/ability at each port and I enjoyed Cozumel, Belize and Costa Maya. I felt 6 nights was the perfect length for travel. An additional plus - there were very few kids onboard as ...
