Carnival Radiance Cruise Reviews - Reviews

I used to travel Carnival and the food and service was great. Now the food was just ok and the service was great but not enough employees.

Loved the cruise want to do it again maybe on a different ship with more or better activities

The Carnival cruise has definitely upgraded their syatem. No more lines and room is ready and clean ship.

Love traveling and this was our first cruise! Less jetlag everything was convient on the ship & there was so much entertainment happening all over the ship. Loved the gym working out and watching the ocean was Beautiful! Mini golf was fun, dancing, shows, so much to do & wide variety of food throughout the ship. The temperature inside the ship was completely comfortable and the outside was not bad at all. Just at night wear a jacket as it does get cold. Watching the seagulls at night from our room was pretty cool....we even saw a pod of dolphins. Definitely will do another cruise but Never Again to Ensenda!

Overall i wasn't impressed with this Carnival cruise. I may choose a destination and ship in the future and give them another try.

This was super fun. It was very worth the money. I would definitely do this again. The trip was great

As a first time, claustrophobic cruiser I was skeptical. I was amazed by the layout of the ship. I never felt cramped, even in our small cabin with 5 people. Our family felt so free and stress free. The dining options suited our family great as we all have different culinary likes. The nightly dinner was so much fun, and I’m still in awe of the magician who would frequent our table. We have already started planning a longer cruise late this year.

Had a great time relaxing on the deck with great music and movies to watch.

Amazing! Wonderful! Relaxing! FUN, FUN, FUN... Looking forward to another cruise soon!

This 4 night trip was well worth the cost of what we paid. We had an inside Cabin on Deck 9, and it was close to all the restaurants, pool and was very quiet. We love inside cabins as we sleep really well as they are so dark. We will stay on deck 9 again. The food on this ship is (in my opinion) just okay, nothing gourmet or special. The buffet is limited, but we enjoyed the Burger and BBQ restaurants. The Dining room for dinner had great service, but not gourmet quality, and we are not fussy eaters but it was fine for us. We did not buy a drink package, so cannot comment on that. Entertainment was top notch. The 2 shows by the Playlist players were exceptional, and state of the art imagery. I would go back on this ship just to see the shows. I live in Las Vegas, and those shows could go up the entertainment here. We did not enjoy the Piano bar as it was just another Karaoke bar, but all the musicians no matter what venue you are at are excellent. The hot tubs by the mid ship pool were so crowded (with kids) that we did not go in. The cruise line needs to do something about all the kids unsupervised in the hot tubs. However, there is a hot tub in the Adult Serenity area to use. Overall, my husband and I said we would do this cruise again when it is warmer, as January can be chilly when on board. We had an excellent time.

I think the 5 day 4 nights is the right amount of time on this ship. You can do enough to not be board and it's not too long to be extra disappointed.

It let's move, fun, relaxing, I enjoyed the time with my daughter. I gained 20 pounds I'm on a diet now LOL

I will never take a cruise on Carnival again. Also, I have created many reviews and this is the first one where there was a minimum number of characters required before you were able to complete your review. Dumb.

It was a wonderful experience. It’s worth every penny. It’s our first time cruise and it won’t be our last. Thank you carnival…

Had a fabulous time loved all the wait staff and spa

This was a perfect entry level cruise. The comedian - Eric Blake was great. The show production was disappointing, but mediocre at best. It was fun to have other entertainmnet too. We went around Christmas time so fun christmas carols etc. There is always something to do. The cabin is just fine. We opted for one with a nice large window. It was great. The two twin beds they pushed together to make a kind was another storey. They kept coming apart in the middle and made it very uncomfortable. Other than that, the rooms were nice and clean, bathrooms functional and worked great. Food was good too. You wont go hungry!!

Worst trip I’ve ever had. My entire family caught Covid because there’s no social distancing or mask requirements. Terrible food, annoying entertainment.

Just what we needed, but a four day cruise is too short for us. Just as you learn your way around, IT'S OVER

Boarding process was good. The rest was not so good. First off, we stayed on the first floor in the back of the ship. I HIGHLY recommend that you stay away from the first floor, especially in the back. We were on top of the engine room which was painfully loud. The noise was mostly noticeable in the early morning hours while trying to sleep. There was also a smell of exhaust while the ship was docked, which wasn’t pleasant. The icing on the cake was sewage backing up inside the bathroom. Wait, it gets better… They did move us to a different cabin right above the theater, which was even louder. There’s more…we had people outside of our cabin all night (adults and children) talking loudly, running up and down the hallways, knocking on doors ect. I guess respect for others is out the door in todays society, but that’s a whole another subject in itself. This cruise was a free for all from smoking pot to allowing kids inside of bars and the casino. What a disaster! Service and food were good. Ship size for the amount of people was a little cramped. We had an inside cabin which was a little cramped as well. Disembarkation process was not good and seemed very unorganized. It was the same for Catalina Island. This will be our last cruise with Carnival Cruise Lines for sure. Always keep in mind that you get what you pay for. Note to self.

We had a really great time for family vacation with carnival cruise, it was a really remarkable moment for us
