Alaska is so beautiful, glaciers, icebergs, bears, whales, salmon. People were so friendly.

No fancy here by ShariBritton

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Luminosa

Overall, the ship is old, not fancy and should be retired. The food was low class and never hot, either in the dining room or the Ledo deck. Ledo food was limited times, not all day option. Spend the extra money to get a bit pampered.

Worst Carnival Cruise Ever by Mychal

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Carnival Luminosa

We turned Platinum this cruise only because Carnival had no records of our earliest. We go all the way back to the original Mardi Gras. May be our last on them.

Don’t overpack clothes. Less is more and comfort is the key. But have at least 1 formal outfit for “Fahrenheit 555” it’s soooo worth it!
