Carnival Imagination

4 Night Catalina & Baja Mexico (Los Angeles Roundtrip)

Sail date: September 22, 2019

Ship: Carnival Imagination

Cabin type: Oceanview

Cabin number: E130

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 5 years ago

Review summary

Almost all activities revolves around alcohol. We don’t drink. The unlimited bubbles package was a joke, I had to wait at the bar to get a soda instead of just having a fountain for people to use and I had to pay for the cup separately. Will not be sailing carnival again.

Service and Staff

Our waiter Seno was fantastic. And our cabin steward was great too but a majority of the staff walked around with frowns. And some guy named Kyle was on a power trip and a total ass.

@jt1962 - problem is for a lot it does indeed revolve around booze. When have you seen bar empty?

I have never seen the majority of any Carnival crew frown. They are all always smiling and helpful You don't have to pay extra for a cup. They pour it into a glass for you. My husband and I dont drink a lot and we have a great time. Cruising might not be for you!

A fountain soda system would be a nightmare the clean up and maintenance would be constant you don’t have to buy the cup they will give you the glass and they have entertainment and activity that doesn’t include drinking like trivia, ,bingo ,karaoke extra sounds like you this may not be for

Sounds like cruising isn’t for you. Most love it, but it’s not for everyone. Many of the complaints you had are common issues across all lines, not just Carnival. We don’t drink alcohol or sodas on cruises and have a great time. I’ve never thought the activities revolved around alcohol.
