Carnival Luminosa Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Not sure as if I'll ever do Carnival again, was so disappointing. Itinerary was great. Carnivals food and service not so much. Many people, even long time carnival cruisers were complaining

Workers were all very friendly and helpful. Food was good, not great. It's sad when you have to get off of ship to get a good cup of coffee. I suggest getting Folgers coffee!

Great cruise in Alaska great weather in Alaska Had a great time

Overall, I'd highly recommend this ship, we all had a wonderful experience and would definitely go again!

We were fortunate to have great weather. The ship was very clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. The cabin was great. Loved the balcony. Plenty of room in our cabin for three of us. It took me a while to figure out the hub app and found it helpful once I figured it out. Probably wouldn't buy the internet package again, it really wasn't worth the extra expense. Overall we really enjoyed our cruise, the ports and the tours we took. We did the Best of Juneau Whale watching tour, the White Pass Summit and Suspension bridge tour in Skagway, and Tracy Fjord Arm excursion - HIGHLY recommended.

In all, the cruise was great! The embarkation was the easiest we've ever had! The food was plentiful, tasteful and well prepared. The servers and attendants went out of their way to be helpful and to see if there was anything we needed. We had need of the medical clinic and were treated courteously and professionally by Dr Heale and his staff. The ship was kept clean and tidy. Thanks to the entire Luminosa crew!

very commendable. deck attendant Shashi on smoking deck exceptional, supervisors on lido deck for helping me find my dentures, went thru linen bin with them myself and they found it dish station after 2 hours. Extremely thankful for all your assistance. EXCELLENT

The overall trip was a wonderful experience. Alaska was a great choice, and the CruiseLine was also a good choice. Carnival has shown to be a great host for these cruises and I thoroughly enjoy their shows, their service, customer service was super efficient and courteous, very helpful and I have no complaints. I only wish the ship had a waterslide or playground, but otherwise it was a wonderful experience both the ship and the excursions/scenery made my vacation unforgettable.

Bernadette Asst Photographer did awesome job in pictures she took of us also. It was a great experience

i purchased a bubbles card for pop and had to go to the bar everytime, basically no place to get one for breakfast no bars open and bars cater to people buying drinks ignoring you for pop.

This was our first cruise as a couple and we treated it as our honeymoon since we got married during Covid19 pandemic. This trip met all of our expectations, the weather was just gorgeous, the ocean was smooth sailing, the mountains and ports of call were breathtaking.

Overall, this is an excellent cruise. I would highly recommend to do the excursions sponsered by Carnival. All our excursions were amazing! The ship is clean, the food was wonderful, the personnel were friendly, and the activities were fun! This is a good cruise for families.

Great ship if you don't like food or service! Avoid like the plague if you have taste buds and speak English.

Very disappointed in the cleanliness and staff of the Luminosa

All the activities for kids is really well organised. Only negative is only 1 pool for kids a little crowded if school holidays

Overall extremely enjoyable and the view was majestic. Was much colder than we expected.

I would personally not recommend Carnival to any of my family or friends. Entering a holiday spending over $2000 on accomodation and food to be underwhelming let down has left a distasteful stench in my mouth. The buffet is revolting so I attempted to eat at the restaurant hoping for better quality. To which I was again let down with a microwaved sirloin steak. Upon my disappointment I contacted guest services to make a complaint to which I was rudely advised to go back upstairs and speak to a manager. Upon locating a staff member in the buffet area asking for a manager I was directed to yet another waiter. The manager took my feedback but by the looks of these comments I don’t believe they’ve tried to improve anything. Upon departing Airlie beach, guests were forced to stand in direct Sun on 30 degree day at over 80% humidity. Over 150 guests (many elderly) left to suffer as they await the tender back to the ship. Carnival had one gazebo to cater for everyone as they wait. The pools are too small to cater for any more than 10 people and the reak of chlorine made them easily avoidable. Having a quiet night I decide to order myself a strawberry daiquiri from the bar, where I was asked if I’d like an extra shot. To which I replied “no thank you I have a big day of excursions booked tomorrow”. After receiving my drink I noticed the bar tender rudely ignored my request and added an extra shot anyway. This is disgusting and seriously questionable. The boat is overpacked obviously trying to get the most money they can. On multiple occasions I attempted to attend on ship events to which were always over packed to the point I was advised I cannot attend. The cabanas and chairs provided were no where near enough for the amount of people crammed on board. The smoking area was the size of a ensuite crammed with people 24/7. The person left to attend my room was creepy and perverted. Upon him attempting to start conversation he would stare at my breast and look me up and down which left me feeling uncomfortable. It got to the extent I was locking my suitcase everyday and left the “snooze” sign on my door to avoid him entering my cabin. The beds provided were horrendous and left my back strained every day. Staff should be monitoring events and ques more as other guest were cutting lines which would result in waiting over an hour to either embark or disembark. All and all I am appalled with the entirety of my stay. I will NEVER be attending this cruise again and I would NEVER recommend this to any family or friends and I pray you see this before it’s too late. WHAT A WASTE OF ALMOST $3000.

Same class of ship as Sprit & Legend but with Italian flair (ex Costa) ship.

The Carnival Luminosa was an interesting ship but cruising is what you make of it, I could complain about stuff or be happy I was on an Alaskan cruise which I will choose to focus on! The wildlife and scenery was gorgeous as usual, the service was wonderful and the food was post-Covid standard but I wasn’t cooking it so I’m not going to judge it too harshly.

Overall my family enjoyed the cruise, the scenery and the crew, it's a must do again!!
