Carnival Cruise Line

This has been awful. Carnival canceled our cruise. Sent a email with false information. The email asked if you wanted to rebook or 100% refund. We choose a refund. The email also stated our other purchases such as drink packages and Excursion would be automatically refunded through the fun shop
This did not happen. We are still waiting for our refund from cruise and fun shop. They take your money as soon as you select but don’t want to refund it back.

We went with carnival for our first cruise and wouldn’t go with anyone else. They reward you for going back to them with the VIFP membership. As you move up you get more perks. The cruise ship we went on was older but still nice it was Carnival Valor. The crew on it are amazing and polite. I never ran out of things to do. They host a lot of activities on board. They have a camp ocean if you have little kids that they will watch, however they do seem closed more then they are open so it’s not much of a camp. They do have clubs for teens and older kids. The rooms were always done nice and clean. We had a balcony room that we got upgraded to for a cheaper price and it was well worth it. Also the ship was very quite didn’t hear much of the engine or anything. The ship didn’t move a whole lot even in ruff waves you really didn’t notice it. I got the soda drinking package which is very nice to have. I didn’t like the taste of the water or tea. So I would recommend getting it. They also walk you through what to do in an emergency so you don’t have to wonder what if. Also the ship is very easy to Navigate. I think it only took me like two days to know where everything was at and by name. It’s pretty much a floating city. Everything you could ask for. This year we are going on Carnival Vista and can’t wait. You won’t regret going with Carnival.

Always a great family friendly vacation! Carnival ships have something for every age group. There are kids programs and kiddie pools for younger kids. For the teen/tweens, there are clubs, arcades, a sports deck, pools, etc. Adults can enjoy over a dozen bars (on most ships), plus nightclubs, comedy shows, a spa, and a casino. For all ages: Theater shows, games shows, mini golf, pools, movies at night on a lounge chair on the pool deck, bingo, baking/cooking classes, shopping (including a candy store), and of course – dozens of options for food.
The staff bends over backwards to ensure guests are happy and having fun!

Love cruising with Carnival. Have done 3 cruises on Carnival and liked them all. Of course there were small issues on each but nothing major, and everything Carnival staff on board or later guest services were willing to fix or accommodate. The kids camp is great and I feel very safe. Rooms are clean and regularly kept up. Room staff and dining staff really remember your name and try to cater to you as best as possible. The parties are fun if that’s your thing, but the shows are more our thing and they are good. They have magic shows, singing/ dancing shows, comedy shows, etc. Lots of shopping and shopping experts are great resources regarding where to shop etc. on the ports and provide the best deals.
The food hours could be longer— there are periods of the day that only pizza and sandwiches are offered.
Overall great fun and good ports.

Cruised on Carnival from Florida to the Caribbean. Grand Turk is my all time favorite port. My balcony room was very comfy. Great shows and lots of yummy food! Also had lots of fun playing table games and slots in the Casino. Can’t wait to go again
