Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Carnival Vista

The food was definitely a downgrade from past experience, except for the Fahrenheit restaurant, that was still amazing. The odors of sewage were evident on the Lido Deck especially toward the aft end. Carnival can do much better.

1st timers by melita8232

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Carnival Vista

I think there should be a welcome bag in the cabin, maybe lanyard and water bottles are a good start.

Ship not designed to handle 6,000 people. The food was a big disappointment.

It was incredible! We had the time of our lives! by TeresaPalmer

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Carnival Celebration

Carnival Celebration is so much fun! There is something for everyone, and we had the time of our lives! We enjoyed the food, shows, and various entertainment throughout the ship. Captain Lee makes it virtually IMPOSSIBLE for you to have a bad time. He is the best cruise ship director EVER! I've sailed with Carnival four times, and this was my favorite trip!

Not impressed for the $$$$ by opusonelover

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Celebrity Beyond

Not impressed with the edge series line. Missed the frozen martini bar. Service at the bars/coffee shop /mast grill were the worst I’ve ever had. Sad when you can’t wait to get off a ship/vacation.

Relaxing by daniellels80996

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Carnival Celebration

My first cruise was okay, I wish it was cleaner. The food needs to be hot, no one wants lukewarm food

Completely Disappointing waste of thousands of dollars! by mama75

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Mardi Gras

Overall very disappointed. We were so excited as we had sailed with Carnival in the past. In talking with others on the cruise, it was a common theme that Carnival has cut many corners in order to maximize profits and it shows. My advice to anyone looking to take a cruise is to avoid Carnival at all cost.

Relaxing for me by Coleathea

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Mardi Gras

I came on this ship for a relaxing vacation and that is exactly what I got. Again, I was impressed and amazed by the level of talent from all of the performers.

14 family member cruise by janeswango

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Mardi Gras

We had party of 14, 4, ages 9, 12, 17, 18, we rarely saw. We all enjoyed being together & sharing & exploring the ship. Most of the kids joined us for dinner. It's a fun way to travel.

Carnival is walmart of the seas by edqmac

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Carnival Horizon

Too many passengers for the venues, not enough hand sanitizer stations, and just rude people galore. Will be choosing a different cruise line next time even though we've cruised carnival 4x prior.

I enjoyed the cruise but not the inside accommodations by katie226226

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Adventure of the Seas

Staff & activities were excellent. Inside accommodations, specifically the beds, the worst

Lovely Couple's Cruise by PreciosaPetunia

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Rhapsody of the Seas

Overall a good cruise. Being with friends made it lovely. Food was good, service was actually the best part about the cruise. The shows were good. Overall the ports were nice as well. Some better than others. In the end, we loved: the service, food, shows, St. Lucia and St. Martin. We didn't love: the stateroom balcony not being completely private, some of the onboard activities being different than what they were supposed to be or thrown together, being stung by sea lice in Barbados with no warning from staff.

Good Trip by jojomon

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Celebrity Beyond

Was basic Celebrity. Demographic continues to get younger, ship full so lines encountered often, cutbacks and nickel and diming still continues. Fortunately, in the Retreat so not significantly impacted by the crowds.

Excellent Cruise by MelissaKenn

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Celebrity Beyond

Excellent cruise! Trip of a lifetime! I would absolutely love to sail Beyond again! The staff was wonderful from specialty dining, to main dining staff, to the OceanView staff. The staff around the ship were excellent. I can't say enough about them! The food was great! The Oceanview cafe was excellent. Lots of choices!

Overall a premium ship from Royal Caribbean but I think I would prefer a Royal Caribbean chip in the future if your looking for Adventure ships.

Celebrity Beyond was out of this world ! by saraheglenn

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Celebrity Beyond

Cruise was great but I booked hotels going and coming with and I would NEVER recommend that to anyone. was not helpful in resolving an issue with the hotel and we were left on our own to get another hotel for the night. No refund of money. No support from . Do NOT book with if you think they will help the customer during your vacation.
