Review summary

The carnival Spirit is an oldie but a goodie!! This ship is a perfect size and layout for us!!

Embarkation

3 out of 5
In Mobile Alabama we had a 10:30 arrival time!! We got there around 10:15 and waited in a mile long line of cars which took about an hour to maneuver. Once we finally arrived embarkation went fast!!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We always enjoy the food on the Carnival cruise ships. For the price of the cruise the food choices are wonderful! Since we are platinum with carnival we have tried most items on their menu. This year we noticed a few new dining room options on the menu!! The free lobster on the second elegant night was absolutely delicious!! The bread could of been better!! The buffet on this ship had an Asian place called chopsticks which was so good including the soups that I ate there almost every day for lunch!!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We did not use the pool or the fitness center but they looked nice!!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We enjoyed the stage shows, the musicians around the ship and mostly we loved the comedians!!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
As always the service team all around the ship was excellent!! They were always working hard and still stayed so pleasant and always had a smile on their face!! Our room stewards Antonio and Jerlin were excellent!! Martha in the dining room was so sweet!!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I absolutely just love the spirit class ships. They are smaller ships and so easy to get around. For an older ship it was always clean and very well maintained!!’

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabin 7207 was the best interior cabin we ever had on Carnival. We had so many extra dresser drawers. This room also did not have a space under the door so we never could hear any hallway noise!!

Ship tip

Stay loyal to one cruise line!! Carnival has been good to us and the loyalty perks are well worth it!!

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
There is so much to do in Cozumel!! We just got off the ship and went to 3amigos for a couple of hours!!

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
We did the ship excursion to go and hold a sloth and play with some monkeys!!

Mobile, Alabama

5 out of 5
Mobile is a wonderful place to visit!!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Disembarkation was easy!! We carried off our own suitcases!!

We also like the Spirit class having been on the miracle 3x and legend 1X. This is our favorite class of carnival ships. Will be on the Spirit on February 3, 2024. We also have never been disappointed on a carnival cruise. Thanks for the review

Yes I agree that Chopsticks was so good. I ate there everyday onboard and napped afterwards. Happy cruising and thanks for sharing your review

I also enjoy the older smaller ships. Wish that more of them were still around.
