Caribbean - Eastern Cruise Reviews

The quality of the food and entertainment has gone down since Covid. We will probably not book on Carnival again.

Overall this was a good cruise based on what I paid. Carnival does a great job trying to find the balance among all of its passengers.

This cruise had both positive and negative aspects as with anything in life. We really enjoyed our dinners each evening and being able to use the app to check in. We also enjoyed going to the piano bar and the different shows. If you don't like crowds, then just save yourself the trouble and don't go on this cruise ship. I thought since it was a bigger ship, it would not feel as crowded but it did. Also, the ports of call weren't as "tropical" as I was expecting. I should have done more research because there were no beaches within walking distance. It was at least a 30 minute drive to even get to a beach. I enjoyed spending time with my family. It had been about 10 years since we had gone and a cruise. It will probably be another 10 before I go back. I will definitely choose a smaller ship next time. It may have fewer bells and whistles but that also means fewer people and maybe actually having a shot at getting a seat by the pool.

Great ship, very nice staff and service, but highly disappointed in entertainment

Good family cruise! We enjoyed it...definitely some highs and lows as described above.

This was our first Carnival cruise and while I talked to many on the ship who were avid sailors on other Carnival Cruise Lines, I would not sail the Venezia again (and they would not either). I was told on many occasions not to judge Carnival based on that cruise so I hope that if I ever sail again with them I have a much better experience. Two of the things I enjoyed most about this ship was the activities and the Captain's Table.

This was a special family cruise with multiple age groups. (age 5-74) There was something for everyone.

We enjoyed our cruise and look forward to another in the future.

Overall, our family and friends' trip of 28 people went very well, everyone had a really nice time.

Overall, not a bad ship. Lots to do with the littles. I would get the HUB app for sure if you are going on any carnival ship. It's helpful to keep up with events and talk with passengers. The automated doors were awful on this ship- would not recognize you walking up, even if you waived like it said, you would stand there for almost a minute waiving like you've seen your long-lost friend you haven't seen in a decade. I complained once to guest services about our room, but it was more about the design of the ship, the room we were in was right next to a crew memeber only area and starting at 6 am (ish) they were being so loud it would wake me up and keep me up. It was like they were moving carts and slamming luggage around. it was SO BAD it rattled my wall where my head was. That was single handedly the most frustrating thing I ever dealt with on a cruise ship. I didn't complain till literally the last night, and i only said something because I was up at guest services adding something to my account. I even told them I knew there was nothing they could do because the rooms were full, but it was SO bad. SO bad I stored that room # in my phone so I don't ever get booked there or close to a crew member only area the next time I book. I'm heavily critiquing because I want Carnival to get raw feedback, but I would book again. My overall experience I would say 7.5/10 - not bad but needs some improvement.

Carnival Celebration is a fantastic ship, it feels very new and clean and offers soooo much in dining and entertainment, the staff is excellent. The ports of call are fantastic! I would recommend this ship and itinerary to friends and family.

Overall we had a blast. The staff was amazing, and the activities were fun! Having a daily schedule was great and the app was very helpful in keeping us in the know.

I had a great time with my two kids on this cruise. Everyone had the opportunity to explore and do lots of things both together and separately.

This was a worthy 2nd cruise for us. We had some prior experience and were excited to try a different cruise line. We enjoyed our time away and found quite a bit to do on the ship itself to keep us busy. Our 2 excursions were terrific. The service and staff were amazing, even if the food and drinks were "just" good. The steakhouse was worth the extra cost, but the Bubbles drink package probably wasn't.

Wooaaooo... excellent cruise.. a lots of options for everybody... music, excellent shows and excellent food.

Never will cruise again on norwegian. Overpriced and very lack luster

This was our first cruise, and it definitely 'set the standard'. In talking to many other passengers, we found that Princess has a reputation for: Beautiful ships, great food, great entertainment...yet, it's less 'chaotic' than other cruises. We found this to be true. It was exactly what we were hoping for. We did, however, find that the communication wasn't great. For example, in all our prep for the cruise, we never heard about formal nights, and we were still confused about 'included' vs. 'extra' costs at restaurants, etc. We met lots of people, and have connected with some of them--across the country--since then! The wifi was great, the drink package was great, overall, we loved it!

We loved this cruise. We thought 9 days might be too much- it was wonderful. It gave us time to unwind, relax, be disengaged with work/life, recharge, visit lots of great ports, and had plenty to keep us busy at sea!

We had a great family cruise that has plenty of activities for all ages.

There were 14 in our group (children from 9 - 28, parents and grandparents) and we were together more then we expected. Everyone had a great time. And, we were still friends at the end of the cruise and looking forward to the next cruise together.
