Caribbean Cruise Reviews

Overall we had a great time. I likely would not choose to sail the Mardi Gras again, but I'm glad we did so at least once.

Christmas cruise however didn’t feel very much like Christmas. Only one tree in a corner. Passenger was ‘Santa’. Had to find him to get pictures. Would have been nice have a Santa picture time for kids.

I definitely would cruise again using Norwegian. We had a great family vacation from ages. 8 to 73. Everyone had plenty to do throughout the entire trip.

Overall good first experience. I think we may try cruising again to see if the next experience will be even better.

I love Carnival because it is a consistent cruise experience with amazing staff and drinks as well as the kids program being amazing. I would say, I expected more from the bigger ship activity wise but I do think that it's just being underutilized by the cruise director when it comes to engaging adult activities rather than just trivia. If you leave from Galveston, just be prepared for horrible parking and embark/debark but once you are on the ship it's much more relaxing. Lastly, kids definitely dominated the hot tubs so if that is important to you I would recommend considering paying the $149 for the private adult hot tubs.

Overall a super cruise with a variety of interesting things to do or see- Food and Service were excellent and our accommodations were quite nice as well. The ship is beautiful and is well maintained.

As a group of 10 (8 adults and 2 tweens) we had a great time. There was a little bit for everyone - comedy, piano bar, and live music; burgers to fine dining, lobster and midnight pizza and ice cream. The Vista is a nice ship - just not as "open", or so it seemed. Pools, hot tubs, Serenity area were all really nice (I loved the salad selections at Serenity) We didn't work out - but did get a massage - and the spa was relaxing.

Very pleased with this experience. I do recommend this ship and this itinerary. Take advantage of the specialty restaurants and Norwegian's excursions.

We had a wonderful experience as expected. The game was exactly what we envisaged.

This was my first and most likely my last cruise. I was not impressed. I could of spent less money and just took my family to the Bahamas for a week.

Overall, we had a lovely family experience. When it is just the two of us, we prefer Holland America for the classical music (guitar was the only classical on this voyage), for the food available at the poolside cafe, and adult activities. We made the compromise for the children with us.

This vacation was a great - Get back to vacationing after COVID! I felt completely safe, because Carnival added hand-washing stations all over the ship! The food selection was a cut-above competitors, and the entertainment was excellent! I just wish my articles were not taken from my cabin.

For such a large ship the food is awful. If you want good food is outrageously expensive. $100 per person? Family of 9 $1000? Otherwise Service was great. Amazingly convenient to get on and off

I will never cruise the big ships again. It was like bumper to bumper people at all times. We had to wait to eat at any place. For my timing we had up to 80 minutes to wait. The lines at most restaurants were extremely long that we didn't get to try some of them for that reason. The lines to get back on the ship from excursions were long. The elevators were the worst the entire the cruise had to wait for an elevator all the time. We will continue to cruise but on smaller ships for less waiting.

Our food and food service was the finest we have seen! Ani and Dodik truly embody what Carnival stands for - excitement, entertainment and variety. They made this trip incredible for us.

This was my first Carnival cruise in 20 years, I've recently cruised RCL. On Carnival choose the newest ships and 6 plus day trips. It was fantastic it was as good or better than RCL! Only DCL comes close to Carnival on a Christmas cruise.

Above average cruise experience. Great for adolescents to teens. RCL really caters to families with kids. If you are a couple, I might recommend Carnival if you are young, Celebrity if you are old, and NCL if you are middle aged. We felt like there lacked the couples entertainment of other lines and there were so many upcharge items that I felt like our fare was paid for the privilege to spend more. Overall, it was a great ship with fantastic staff who seemed to care alot. There was plenty to do and the included food was quite good.

This cruise was amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed the shows( the aqua show was outstanding), and the food was really good!

After cruising on 39 cruises, this was our second ship on Celebrity. The quality of everything on this ship was perfect. We will return for a future cruise.

RC is short staffed and many things have changed since my many cruises with them. You have to request main dining at an early hour or you're left to eat late at night.
