Carnival Cruises Reviews

What's to say. I just returned home from another cruise.

Always find Carnival an excellent cruise line. Nothing seems to be amiss.

The entire staff on Carnival Pride was friendly and out going. The value for the money was a big plus for our entire group.

No complaints - Thoroughly enjoyed every aspect,

As long as you don't take a cruise on the Carnival Cruise ship Paradise you should be okay. That ship should be put to sleep.

By now a ten, in spite of Carnival, you know...

Too crowded, too noisy, public areas inadequate. Food not very special, too much emphasis on selling alcoholic drinks ( too many "drinking holes").

Service, food, entertainment,.politeness of staff was excellent.

I paid a lot of extra money for an extended balcony versus an inside cabin. We were surrounded by smokers and spent very little time on our balcony because of the constant smoke. We asked to be moved to another room and couldn't because the ship was full. So we asked to be credited the difference between between a balcony and a window cabin since we couldn't use our balcony. Carnival refused. We were never told that Carnival allows smoking on balconies. If we had been, we would have booked an inside cabin and saved that money. We were even charged for our 2 "complementary" drinks that we were supposed to get as a return customer. But didn't know it until we got our credit card bill after returning home. Carnival has not even refunded the overcharge for our drinks. They have not even acknowledged my survey they asked me to complete. We purchased 3 Carnival cruises in the last 18 months. They told me on the boat they hope we "feel like family" as repeat customers. We certainly don't.

We sailed on Carnival Splendor 23-31 july 2014 This was our 5 cruise and it was an awesome experience. We have already purchased the onboard credit coupon for a future cruise. The staff were awesome and very friendly. Rooms were cleaned twice a day, and the meals both in the formal dining rooms and on the lido deck were great... and you could enjoy as much as you wanted. The only downfalls I could see .. the pools are small for the numbers of people on board and if you do not want to purchase a coke card ($4+ for child and $6 + for adult) you only have a choice of lemonade or ice tea to drink during the day. Great friendly service and the staff definately work hard for their tips. The activities for the kids were well managed and lots of shows and entertainment for everyone.But i don't like my excursion in Puerto Rico. History Behind San Juan cost $49 a person but entrance for visit cost $5 if You Walk 10 min. ~Viktoria Sklar and Gerald Paquette, Montreal, Canada

We loved the Carnival Magic and had a great time.

Overall quality is lower comparing MSC and Norvegian.

I really enjoyed my time with Carnival. I've had the opportunity now to cruise with Royal Carribean and Carnival and I had an awesome time on both.

Too little time in ports of call. Service was superb. Food was good, but not great.

Carnival Cruise Fascination was an enjoyable trip. I would have given them a higher rating except for the following issue. The issue came once we arrived home and discovered they had charged us several small amounts and one large amount that totaled all the small charges. This took several phone calls and several days to get resolved before they sent the required faxes to release our money back to our account. Carnival needs to work on this as far as customer service is concerned. This is something that should not have happened to begin with but it should have been corrected immediately when brought to there attention.

Carnival was above average on board, but getting on and off ship in Jacksonville, FL required long lines.

Had a great time. Casino staff was great on board
