Just OK by MrsWatty

Ship: Carnival Imagination / Destination: Mexico

Wouldn't do it in November or any other winter months. I saw soooo many seniors on board but there were no activities planned or available for the more mature passengers...which is not very nice.

Four day Ensenada cruise by terrylynnjones5

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Ruby Princess / Destination: Mexico

Great cruise and I'd do it again! We absolutely loved our balcony room and we will always choose that type of room. The food and entertainment were exceptional! The entertainers were enthusiastic and friendly. We didn't use the pools because it was too cool outside for us but the people using the pools seemed to be having a great time. We chose Anytime dining which was perfect for us. We embarked two hours later then scheduled and that was a bit intimidating for us first time cruisers. We wondered if we were really going to set sail on our adventure. Having the kiosk available to check our balance was very helpful. The directions given to us us for disembarkation and the daily activities delivered to our room was great! Overall we had a wonderful experience with Princess cruises.

Overall an excellent time celebrating our 30 year anniversary. Lydia at Guest services gave us a bottle of champagne and chocolate strawberries as a nice anniversary gift! Our steward Patowin was awesome and kept our room so clean and tidy!

Mediocure by hoesing

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Westerdam / Destination: Mexico

Honestly, I do not think I would take another cruise on this ship. Too old (both ship and clientele). Plus the allowance of cigarette smoking in large areas really turns us off. Shopping on board was not good and service staff in these areas were not friendly or helpful at all.

Amazing carnival cruise experience by cheungjemma

Ship: Carnival Imagination / Destination: Mexico

Great Experience, Friendly staff, very good customer service and activities. The shows were very entertaining. Great food at the Pride dining. Also got to dance at the night club, recommend a live band so more people will spend time at this area.

The Good and the Bad by M3Cruiser

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Carnival Imagination / Destination: Mexico

Very enjoyable. Just needs upgrades on an older ship. Cruise director needs to come up with better entertainment. Atrium performances by Odessa & Kent from New Zealand was a pleasant surprise! They sang and played great music fit for a ship like the Imagination in California. They should be a regular and I will vouch for them.

Would not go again by stephanierh

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Ruby Princess / Destination: Mexico

Find a better cruise. The port times were not long enough, and the food, although good was not exceptional and nothing to write home about. The spa was awful and overpriced and the activities were short and underwhelming. This may be the right cruise for you if you have a lot of children and different ages

Ship: Carnival Inspiration / Destination: Mexico

I am part of a small group of pastors who used this cruise as an annual retreat. We had a blast and found many opportunities for group development and one-on-one bonding time. We're already planning to make this an annual event!

Handicapped travelers by rachaels15

AM retired military and think I should have received a military credit. Although I received an incentive cabin credit, it was divided between me and my roommate even though I paid for the entire cruise.

Relaxing Mexican cruise by bobnancyh

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Carnival Imagination / Destination: Mexico

We had a good time. Kind of tired by all the walking and our advanced age. There are a lot of seniors on these cruises, but little on board activities geared towards these seniors.

Great cruise for couples to take without a ton of kids around. Drinks were excellent, and the ports were awesome. We loved Cabo the most, wished we had more time there!

Terrible food and complacent crew by jefferyt

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Emerald Princess / Destination: Mexico

Overall the ship was clean and in good shape, the room Steward was excellent but the rest of the crew was very complacent and the bartenders were unfriendly. The food service, quality and variety were terrible. Many times the hamburg grill had only one person working it (perhaps a method to minimize quantity served). We have more than a dozen cruises under our belt and this one by far had the worst food.

Great Mexican ports cruise. by PegLegPaul

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Emerald Princess / Destination: Mexico

Very comfortable and relaxing. Too much to eat (very good). Plenty of drinks available. Lots of shipboard activities and brand name vendors (with sales). Comfortable beds and plenty of elevators when you found yourself on the wrong deck!

Itinerary: 4 Night Catalina & Baja Mexico (Los Angeles Roundtrip) Departing On: 11/05/2017 Returning On: 11/09/2017 by Homycraz

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Imagination / Destination: Mexico

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: On or about October 28, 2017, Amy Laura Askin called your customer care department to inquire about several accommodations that needed to be taken care of in regards to our cruise. They stated that they would provide several essential accommodations such as providing KOSHER food and several other accommodations. The first incident that caused us to be infuriated by Carnival was on November 5, 2017 when we arrived on the ship to dinner they stated that they could not provide the KOSHER food because it would take 2 hours to prepare the food. I was furious at the comment and demanded to speak to the matrided and the chef. They said that they would have it for lunch. The second incident was the next day of November 6, 2017, we went to the food area to get lunch. We then asked them if they had our KOSHER lunches ready. They had no idea what we were talking about. The staff made us wait from 1130 AM to 230 PM to deal with getting KOSHER food. I was starving since I did not really eat the night before. We then finally get our meals at 230 PM and we eat it. It is around 3 PM that we then go downstairs to go on to Catalina Island on the stop and find out that the ship leaves at 4PM. They make us wait and we get off on the island at 315PM. We tried to go to the botanical island and enjoy the location but it was not possible because we just went back on to the ship since we were afraid to be left on the island. The third incident was at dinner again when they did not have the food ready for us and they made us so upset that we just left and went back to our cabin. The fourth incident was on November 7, 2017 when they knew that they had to have the KOSHER lunches ready for us by 1:30PM since we had booked a excursion to Encinada. They again made us wait about 1 and a half hours to even understand that we needed to have KOSHER lunches. The chef and the manager had to come out to figure this situation out. Not only was this embarrassing but was an absolute disgrace to my vacation causing me to stress about being able to eat and running late to the excursion bus. The fifth incident was on November 7, 2017, when we got on to the excursion bus the woman by the name of Jacky was leading the tour. When we got off the bus she told us that we were to come back to the bus at 430PM. We went shopping and saw the baby leopard and lions and Jacky. Not once did she ever tell us that she wanted to leave early. We were at the shops that she told us we should go to and when we finished at about 415 PM we went to the area which the bus dropped us off. When we got there there was a shop owner and no buss or anyone that came on the tour bus. We asked the lady if they knew Jacky and they said yea Jacky is gone she left with the bus. We then panicked since we were in a poor area of Mexico and there were strangers all around us. We begged tons of people to get us a taxi or something and they all said there is no taxi or buses. We then had to give someone $100 to drive us to the cruise ship. We were in a panic because we were not sure if this person giving us a ride was going to harm us or not. after about 30 minutes in the car he tell us there is the ship and to cross the street. We paid him $100 dollars and went on to the cruise ship. Amy and I were so shocked that any excursion of any kind would leave stranded American persons in a foreign country with no idea where to go. This got me so infuriated at the cruise line for having such a disgusting service that costed us more than it was worth to have a heart attack. We then get to the ship and go to dinner and yet again the KOSHER food is not ready. The chef and all the staff kept apologizing but that saying sorry 5 times and continuing to perform such disguising and idiotic acts show a lack of care or consideration to people of the Jewish religion. We then regretted going on this trip because it caused a lot of issues since I have not gone on a vacation in about 2 years and Amy has had some traumatic personal experiences which she needed to get away and relax. This trip was nothing be a disaster. The sixth and final incident was when we went to dinner on the final night and we wanted to have the nice bottle of wine Amy's parents gave her for the trip. The staff had no idea about it and said that all of the bottle of wine were confiscated and thrown away at long beach. This made us extremely mad and showed how horrible your staffs communications between each other were. We believe that one of your members stole it.

Great cruise by pjones1330

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Miracle / Destination: Mexico

We had paid for transfers from the airport and easily got the bus and it delivered us to the port quickly. We had the FTTF and were on the ship by 12:00 enjoying the fact that our room was ready as soon as we boarded. After dropping our carryon bags we went up to the Lido and had our lunch early. Sea days we played bingo and continued through the day ending with the adult comedy club. We found the ship easy to get around and all of the crew seemed to want to make our cruise enjoyable. you will not be disappointed.
