Posts Tagged with #Carnival Cruise Line - Inspiration
This is my first time to take a cruise. It was a trial vacation for me. I was hyped by all the reviews in the comments in the suggestions from friends and neighbors and relatives has already done cruising but when we got there I think I have I have a very high expectation of everything. The food is not as good as I thought it would be. I think because they cook it for over a thousand people for one so that if you get their past their opening time the food is cold and tough and not as great as everyone had said. Service was good as far as the luggages and the people cleaning your rooms but to me that is about it. The entertainment it was great but I thought it would be lots of choices to do so that you can go whenever you want that entertainment was going on but it wasn't. The last night we were there was great because everything was happening all at the same time we were busy place was jumping up and so that was the last night we enjoyed it. Finding your room is always a challenge because it's not a straight shot from wherever it goes up and down so that was a little confusing.

Most fun with the whole family! Plenty of activities for adults and kids...and of course spending time in the sun with the wide open ocean in front of you!! Food is available 24/7 as are bars. Reserved dinner table in restaurant every evening. Fun karaoke and other nightclub experiences every evening. Good prices on duty free alcohol, just have to wait til the last night of the cruise when they deliver to your room. Prices are reasonable for the cruise and what you get...definitely recommend!!

Ten star experience! Our Cruise Director, Connor, was the best! So much fun and so full of energy!! There was no limit of fun, entertainment, and food on the cruise! Our room was great! Nice and cool with air conditioning! The singing and dancing shows were amazing! The one comedian we saw was hilarious! We made new friends at our dining table, and made plenty of memories to last a life time! Certainly the best way to spend my vacation!

We went on this cruise to celebrate my mom's passing and to spread some of her ashes. They were so accommodating. They took us to a private part of the ship with an official. Stayed with us as long as we wanted to stay. When we got back to our room there was a beautiful letter from the captain with the date and coordinates with a picture of the ship. Something we will cherish forever.
We had a great time on the rest of the cruise as well. Our servers were attentive. I will definitely book another cruise with them.

Splendor to the Mexican Riviera for 7 nights was fantastic. It was the first cruise for me and my daughter, and we had a blast. Food was great, staff very attentive and happy to serve, and too much to do. Get a balcony room so you can sit alone and look at the open sea for some time every day. It's worth more than the extra cost.

They don't pay their employees. They've been ducking my calls for weeks. Is been over two months. All because of ninety six dollars. They are so impersonal. They treat customers good but the people that run the show like expendable pieces of crap!

They are horrible...had to cancel after a family member fell ill and after purchasing insurance and paying an extra penalty to cancel I was told that I will not even be getting a credit for a future cruise! No decency and mind you all this after 7 months of back and forth!!

Carnival has definitely gone down overall.
PROS: Guy's burgers and the taco bar were really good and fairly quick. Dinner dining was good overall also. Great omlettes for breakfast and very good fish at dinner time.
CONS: Cabins were smelly. My cabin had a continuous annoying noise for 5 nights/6 days that they couldn't figure out where it was coming from nor could they do anything about it. I didn't get hardly any sleep for the 5 nights. I can understand all the noise below from the clubs, the people next door, etc..., but to have constant noise in the cabin in not acceptable.
The sports deck was not good. Basketballs, rim, and backboard were in dire straights. The volleyball literally looked like it was the one they bought in 2003 on the maiden voyage.
The talent throughout the entire ship was sub-par (evening shows, comedians, etc...)
Bingo is the biggest rip-off. They must only payout about 20% of the entire take in. It is ALL electronic, even the drawing of the numbers. So basically, the winning card is already pre-determined. Additionally, they don't have the standard punch out the numbers on the card, instead you have to purchase a marker/dabber for an additionaly 2.00 if you want to be able to see your numbers you hit. It should be criminal they way the do it.
I will not be back on Carnival again!
Go Disney!

The good first, the boat was fairly clean, the wait staff was pretty good, clearly under staffed, but nice, and always tried to remember our names.
Now the reason I'm writing this, the floors were shaking, I mean SHAKING. buffet food was uneatable, the pizza the worse than frozen, and the drinks were watered down.
THE STAFF SHUT THE WATER OFF TO OUR ROOM AT 10:00 AM, NOW WHAT? LEAVE DIRTY.
now unwashed were getting ready to leave and that was at 10:00 am or so 10 minutes after they called our deck to disembark. then some guy called 5 minutes after that and said he was going to call the authorities on us. really? On a cruise ship at 10am. we didn't even think we were late.
I hope everyone reads this, this was ridiculous. the drinks were watered down, no doubt, could not wait to get off and never come back. cheap, cheap, cheap, no money spent on food or staffing.......
I you do decide to try Carnival paradise out of tampa fl, DONT.....
