Carnival Spirit Cruise Reviews - Reviews

The ship was nice and we primarily picked it based on the itinerary from San Diego to Hawaii which included 5 Hawaiian port visits. The 4 days at sea to Hawaii and 5 days at sea back to San Diego we were excited to watch shows, eat, relax, and be entertained. We were not! The shows were very lacking in good entertainment value. The best shows were actually where they had the passengers entertain the crowds and the magic show was good too. The Carnival Spirit Singers and Dancers were about the least entertaining of all the cruises we have been on. The band was good but without direction on how to make a good entertaining show there was nothing they could do. Out of the 15 day cruise, there were 3 dance/singing shows, 1 magic show, 1 hypnotist show, 2 guest shows, and luckily the PASSENGERS brought on an Elvis impersonator for their own groups Blue Hawaii Cruise Tour and he gracefully performed a show for the entire ship because the ship had nothing planned! It was the best show of the whole cruise and it had nothing to do with the Carnival's entertainment plan! Overall we were terribly bored and disappointed with the entertainment. The service by the general crew was also disappointing. We had my-time dining and it took us several days to find a set of wait staff we liked. Once we did we requested their tables every night! It was more about the general crew members not being able to understand or respond in basic English to most of our questions. It was the least quality of general service we have ever received on a cruise ship. It could possibly be because they were all at the end of their season and they are transitioning to Alaska after this cruise was over. But never the less, it was poor service.

Great service although some members were lacking in personality. As usuall music in shows was too loud and som,e areas of ship were cold.

it was relaxing, clean, easy to get around. The food was like eating from my college days at the cafeteria. If you have a family with children, it is worth it.

Cabin steward was great ! Some of the best entertainment we have found on any ship.....especially the "big" band.

Ship is beautiful inside and has all the amenities needed for a vacation. Staterooms are in very good condition with excellent room service. The fun times daily itinerary is well thought out for the whole family.

THE SHIP WAS NICELY DESIGNED. PLENTY OF ELEVATORS-NEVER HAD TO WAIT MORE THAN TWO MINUTES FOR AN ELEVATOR. STAFF WAS FRIENDLY BUT, DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND AT TIMES-MANY HAD HEAVY ACCENTS AND SPOKE LITTLE ENGLISH. STATEROOMS WERE LAYED OUT WELL. FOOD IN BOTH THE DINING ROOM AND BUFFET WAS BELOW AVERAGE QUALITY-VERY BLAND!

My first cruise was a fabulous time, we had a balcony suite with VIP embarkation and it's the only way to travel on a big ship. We really enjoyed the entertainment and the cruise director was full of fun!

This was our first cruise and we had a wonderful time. There are so many fun things to do for the parents and the kids. Our boys, 6 & 8, LOVED the "Green Thunder" slide, the water park, and the pools. The staff is fantastic, detailed, and friendly.

i enjoy the live music and service was excelent!

I like the Carnival Spitit. I've been on this cruise twice. The cruise director is very good (Stu), and the spa/gym facilities are great. The ship is clean, and there are lots of activities for people of all aes. I was there with my parents and my own children.

Excellent value for money. Can't wait to travel again on carnival. The cruise was at capacity. Yet it felt very comfortable. We will take carnival to Alaska for sure.

The ship was clean, well decorated, well furnished, beautiful.

This is the second time we went for a Mexican Cruise. This is ship(Carnival Spirit) is more bigger and luxury that the Carnival Elation. We love all the activities, night life and of course the food... My kids loves and enjoy with their cousins and the new friend they met in the cruise. This is our gift to our daughter who just graduate as a nurse. Maybe we will go back after she pass the board exam for nursing. I love it and recommend to the people who never try to cruise. It's once in a life time adventure with luxury and feeling you are in your fantasy time and hoping will never end.

The ship was clean, a lot to do, the staff was friendly.

The cruise to Mexico was great. The ship needed a few more things to do on the 2 1/2 days at sea to start. A little more detail could of gone a long way.

poor entertainment, nothing to do after dinner as the lounges had no entertainment that you could go and have a dance or sit and listen to the music as it was terrible. alot of people drunk around and security didn;t seem to do anything about it. food was very poor and the service in the main dining room was not very professional.

The ship was beautiful and well kept. Easy to get around and find things.

Stu was great! He made cruise for me! Cabin Steward, Ray, was also excellent. Nice size ship, good itinerary. Suggestion: we should stay longer into the evening after the first night of Cabo and after Ensenada so we we could enjoy the nightlife ashore.

The ship was clean, well organized and we loved it!!!
