Carnival Spirit

8 Night Mexican Riviera (San Diego Roundtrip)

Sail Date: December 06, 2008

Ship: Carnival Spirit

Cabin Type: Balcony

Traveled As: Couple

Reviewed: 10 years ago

Review Summary

Just the right size...not too big and not too small. Elegant and very comfortable. Stateroom was very comfortable and always kept immaculate. The extra large balcony was definitely a plus to pay for. Always had fun towel animals waiting for us upon our return from excellent dinners and outstanding shows! Every person on the ship's crew was super friendly and made us feel special. Plus their special dinning experience at The Supper Club was a true epicurean's delight which should not be missed.

Very good dinners with my favorites being the pasta dishes....excellent sauces! Be sure to dine in their Supper Club which features superb dishes that were elegantly presented and had an outstanding musical duo to listen and dance to!

The entertainment staff hosted a special Christmas Show, including the children on the cruise, which we shall always remember as one of the best parts of their entertainment.
