Carnival Spirit Cruise Reviews - Reviews

The ship was beautiful. There were plenty of quiet spots to view the beautiful inside passage. I noticed a few areas that needed some sprucing up....chipped paint, etc. I thought it would have been nice to have other musical options than rock 'n roll and 70's and 80's hits. There was quite a few seniors on this trip. Our room was nice and clean. The ship's eating areas were crowded and we often walked around at breakfast and lunch looking for an available table.

beautiful as usual.

Friendly crew, great service, good entertaining. Everything was well organized!

Since this was our first Carnival cruise, we decided to go with a good attitude and have fun. Boarding in Honolulu was easy enough, but upon boarding, we were slightly amused and disarmed by the garish Las Vegas lights and style. The rooms were pretty standard as to the other ships we have been on, and the stewards were friendly enough and made sure to keep everything in good shape without bothering us. The wait staff in the dining room and bar waiters on the fantail were some of the best that we have seen. I can not say the same about the others. In the lido, I would swear that no one ever told the waiters to clean the tables, or refill your drinks like on other cruise lines. Overall, we had a good time, but will not travel with Carnival again. I guess I am too spoiled by the understated elegance and service from the "other" guys

most of the equiptment in the gym was broke and no one really cared because they were going to get new equiptment( doesnt do me much good, the12 days i was on board. talked with the head of the dept and she didnt much care that i was upset.... the trip to ensenada, to get the ship was a total disaster and NO ONE knew what they were doing!!!!!!!!! we didnt get to the port till 9:30 pm and was tired and hungry. BUT they did give us a bottle of water when we boarded(after sitting at tthe pier for 3 1/2 hrs(none of the vending machines worked so no food) they know everyone was mad but just said "sorry!!"( and that was day 1 of our cruise!! NO one of importance cared. in our last port, oahu, we spent the night. we never got any information on what was available on the pier, where to go or shop.... (only if you booked a tour through carnival..) it was like we werent there anymore. if ii had never sailed on canival before( i am platnium) i would never go on carnival again. it was so bad they never gave us comment cards. guess they didnt want to know what we thought!! :)

Beautiful ship. Easy to get around in. We were fully loaded but did not have to wait in line very long for anything.

ship clean laid out well Trip from san diego to ensanada was horrible. that is where we boarded the ship did not get there till 9:30 pm

The ship is very nice and we loved the balcony in our state room. The food was good but nothing out of the norm. We booked all of are excusions thru carnival and was disaponited. Carnival canacled one excusion and one other was a helacopter ride that was cancled due to the weather. This made for a two day due nothing period.

The Spirit is becoming an "old ship", not in age but in culture. Same buffets, same overpriced drinks, same bingo, same night shows (right out of the 40's), same dancing waiters ++++

We loved this cruise. The nightime activities were varied and provided us with plenty to do. The food was great and the service was absolutely top notch.

We recently sailed on the Carnival Spirit. We can say without doubt, this was the best cruise we have had, out of 9 prior cruises. What made it so wonderful was the team on this ship. Everyone was so friendly and attentive to our every need. The food was fantastic, but we'll always remember the people.

Nice crew, beautiful Los cabos with lots to do. Good music and comedy shows.

We had an aft wrap around balcony suite on th 8th floor. The room was large and comfortable. We had a living room, dressing room, bathroom with his and her sinks and a Jet tub/shower. We had a very large balcony that we enjoyed sunsets on every evening. We went to Cabo San Lucas and had views of lands end and lovers beach all day both days we were there. We would get breakfast in the lido deck each morning and bring it to our balcony to have a wonderful start to our day. The room service was fast and friendly with a good selection for any taste 24 hours. The main dining room was great with a good choice of great foods. The service was five stars. Our server was Jorge. He went above and beyond for us every night. We ate at the supper club (steak house) One night and it was a fantastic menu with five star staff and an experience you dont want to miss. The casino was tight at times and loose at others like any casino its about luck more than skill. Good choice of slots and lots of tables. The entertainment is top notch and available at many hours. The shops have great deals that get better as the cruise goes on. We went sailing and snorkling and it was one big party. We shopped on the second day and ate and drank. Had a fantastic time. Was on and off boat smoothly. Would recomend to anyone wanting to have a fun active time.

It was a tired ship, needs stateroom up dates, beds, pillows

TIme spent with family. The ship is tired especially staterooms

The Carnival Spirit was not laid out as well as the Triumph or the Victory. The weather was a little overcast between San Diego and Cabo and the water was rough as well. Cabo was beautiful, but we felt as though we had lost a port with the exclusion of Mazatlan, even though we had an extra day in Cabo. La Paz was a little disappointing, we should have gone to the beach instead of the town. The food was terrific, especially the sushi bar and the pizzeria. The shows and the activities on the ship need to be updated, such as the legends show.

For me this was a cruise that was a money grab. Everything was about getting your money. Numerous times a day the speakers would ring with the cruise director telling you what was happening and most of the time it would cost you money to do the acitivities. Then we had a chance to spend a night in Cabo, but the ship didn't let that happen. Let me explain. We were to spend 2 days in Cabo because of the violence in Mazatlan. We went to Cabo but we were told to be back on the boat by 6:00 because the boat had to sail out. Not sure why because we were back there the next morning. Why couldn't people spend a night or even an evening in Cabo? In Cabo we could get a bucket of 7 beer and chips and salsa for $10 dollars, but on board they were 4 for $21. They chose to spend a whole night of burning deisel out in the ocean just to make sure they had their captives to spend the money on board. it's all about the money grab. Every day we were bombarded with people trying to get us to spend money on one thing or another. I will never cruise with Carnival again. I hated it.

Very nice ship think it was the best decorated of the Carnival cruise lines, we have been on a total of 5 of the Carnival Cruise lines.

Staff and activities available were well above average

Great cruise, loved the ports of PV and Cabo. Loved the excursion in LaPaz - cooking class. Wished the median age was a bit younger on this 9 day cruise, seemed all nightly activities after 11p were not well attended as everyone went to bed early.
