Service and Staff

Overall, I liked all staff. Except the one server in the special nouveau restaurant who wouldn’t let me order multiple appetizers.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I was impressed with incessant cleaning. Albeit, I did feel the main boat windows in buffet rooms needed more cleaning.

Cabin / Stateroom

Was kept clean and serviced. I was impressed. Would like to have experienced room service, but didn’t use.

Ship tip

Avoid the Casino!!! And buy a Cheers package if you enjoy good cocktails!

A little confusing checking in as I had to carry on my bag. Don’t know how that got messed up.

Thank you for sharing your experience on the Carnival Spirit. We were onboard for a Mexican Riviera cruise 20 years ago for our 20th anniversary and loved everything! Good to see she is holding up so well.
