Worst cruise ever by atkinsted58

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

Our shower broke on the first day. Our toilet broke soon after. I paid good money to smell poop all night. The food looked good but wasn't. Very bland. Elevators always were being used or locked which made it hard to get around. I wish I could get my money back because it was one of the worst things I have ever done.

Horrible experience by rachelweaver720

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

Horrible experience. Crew was very uninformed, Wi-Fi was expensive and DID NOT WORK, absolutely no water is included for free, over crowded, and not fun at all. And I’m super glad to have tipped on the card for me to find out there is essentially a 50 dollar gratuity taken from us daily.

Great first impression for my first cruise experience! by marquesvarnado

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

Overall it was a good experience. I really enjoyed relaxing and the casino. The food choices was slim. I didn't like that compared to what other ships, I'm told, offer. The customer service was excellent though.

Underwhelming by kirapitts90

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

Overall I would not recommend. Couldn't get a water Gatorade and coffee all at once unless I wanted to wait 5 minutes (the line was much longer than that) food was meh, I felt like we were nickel and dimed the entire short time on the ship. Can't say I would ever even do another cruise due to this experience, it was very underwhelming.

Fun Short Cruise by Lonestarcruiser

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

We took this as a birthday weekend excursion for my husband so we could have some couple time and relax in the spa. We were very impressed by how easy it was to get on and off the ship, and we enjoyed much of the food as well as the comedy shows. Cabin was a nice surprise as well. Overall it was a relaxing getaway. The main things we didn’t like were the ship’s layout, lack of attention to repairs, inconsistent service, and general cleanliness. It was definitely a worthwhile trip for a quick getaway, and we plan to do short cruises with the line again, but Carnival isn’t our preferred cruise line.

Carnival Radiance Jan. 2-5 Good experience by wilsen11

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

we had a few good experiences, got some good pics, our kids were amazed with the ship itself, but we were unable to download the hub app on board, so we were somewhat in the dark; would have been a lot better with heated pools, and uncrowded hot tubs; and having to pay for bottled water is unpleasant

Carnival Radiance LA to Ensenada Roundtrip by jcuatto

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

Great staff and customer service. Would recommend. Unfortunate timing for rowdy frat party reunion which consumed much of the ship.

Fun time with ups and downs by Talelei

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

Overall this was a lot of fun. It was an easy trip to coordinate with 12 people. We came to play board games on board with friends and the boat was perfect for this. We could have used a few more large tables that were available all day but we made it work and enjoyed the experience.

Carnival Radiance - Jan 15, 2024 by davesteadman05

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

Carnival Radiance 1 Horrible cruise director 2 NO entertainment, except two comedians that had toilet humor (PG) or gross sex humor (R or X) 3 Lounge and bar entertainment terrible 4 No lobster on elegance night 5 Diff in phone schedule and TV schedule every day 6 Quit making animal towels, no one cares except for very the few new cruise guests. Time, money, effort wasted. 20 years,ago it was novel, not now! 7 Pools to cold to use. Not one person in them or on slides 8 Guest services on hold for 20 minutes before hanging up 9 No "Future Cruise" desks 10 Guest Services couldn't say what the Theater Entertainment would be on any given night. It was only announced at 5:05 pm 11 We do not cruise to play chance games, like "Deal or No Deal." No entertainment, ever, except bars and night clubs. Nothing for families 12 Bar entertainment was horrible. The Sunset Diner wait staff entertainment was better by far than the ship entertainment. Dining wait staff and room cleaning staff are the only redeeming virtues on Carnival

1st time Cruisers by 1stcruiserfam

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

Cruise was good. It was our 1st time. The water was choppy and so I got sea sick the entire time. But the food was great. There were a ton of options. The Spa was amazing and we had a great time. Wish the pools were heated. And wish the staff addressed our concern about loud noise in hallway.

Fun Time with Family, Not all Family Friendly by moneycoach2020

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

This is my 5th Carnival cruise, and by far it was the loudest. Guests in the halls yelling at all hours, staff pushing loud carts through the halls overnight...it was a lot. Sleeping was difficult with the craziness in the halls.
