Carnival Cruises Reviews

i recommend the cruiseline and tours every thing was perfect and great cervice

Travel agency was wonderful....a few things about Carniv that I was t pleased with. Would like to try Royal Caribbean next time.

As above We got exactly what we asked for.

great service, clean ship, wonderful food.

Great cruise

Excellent cabin steward, food and entertainment. Pools too small.

Carnival and Avoya made our 50th Anniversary cruise the perfect vacation! Our cruise agent, John Neffeler, was beyond patient and worked with us every step of the way. The personnel on board was very accommodating and wait staff exceptional. Food choices on board as well as venues of entertainment were great too. Thank you for the memories!

So many reasons we can't go higher. Food was good to excellent. Guy's Burgers are very good. The Blue Iguana Tacos are very good as well, but the posted hours are not actually adhered to, so grab them when you see it open. The speakers by Pig and Anchor apparently only have a High and an Off setting--so loud you couldn't even talk out there. The food is good though. The ship had quite a bit to offer kids. Our kids that were Circle C ages, felt that the program wasn't well run. They felt they were not encouraged to participate and felt intimidated by the staff. They said they heard kids get yelled at didn't want to go back. The Club O2 kids liked theirs, however. The ship didn't appear to be very well maintained compared to other ships we've sailed--i.e. lots of dirty areas, lots of rust (needs paint). Many public areas seemed to be out of order such as bathrooms, sinks, etc. Hand sanitizing stations were frequently empty or completely non-existent--the first ship I've been on in years that didn't have stations outside of the dining rooms. I asked about it one day and the next day there was one. Then the following day it was gone again. I asked, and it returned for one more day. Only two pools and they are pretty small. Pixels photo gallery had more non-working iPads to review and order pictures than working ones. The most painful photo purchasing experience we've ever had on any ship. Lots of people complained about. The upgraded WiFi was horrific--not worth the money at all. I could only load my email after 1:30 AM each night. The Carnival Hub app is a nice idea but needs lots of refinements/fixes. Silly that you pay $5 per person to be able to connect to each other, yet it frequently doesn't work. Definitely a better Android experience than the poor iPhone users though. The casino was unbearably smokey. The kiosks to handle account things was nice and kept us from having to stand in very long lines at the desk. We're kind of ambivalent about the Cheers program. There are a lot of things it excludes, like getting a floater on top of your pina colada. That's considered promotional. So instead I had to order a rum shot, wait 5 minutes, then order a pina colada and make my own. Don't do the other way around because the drink will be melted by the time they get around with the shot. No buckets of beer. Even with four of us ordering beers at the same time, they said we couldn't get a bucket of ice for them because that's promotional. That's silly is what it is--we just wanted to be able to keep them cold around the pool. I fail to see how that violates the terms of the Cheers program.

Great excursions compared. To other. Cruise lines

Carnival Crew members make the entire experience fun and exciting

Cruise was good, ship outdated...only one 110v plug, dinner service slow, staff excellent. We do other cruise lines in the future

Fun for everybody from 15 - 84!

Carnival Valor was amazing and our family had a fabulous time. Cannot wait to go again!
