November 2023 - 5 Night Western Caribbean (Galveston Roundtrip) Cruise on Carnival Breeze
March 2022 - 7 Night Western Caribbean (New Orleans Roundtrip) Cruise on Carnival Glory
Marvelous Cruise!
Great and relaxing cruise. Hardly could tell any difference from this cruise and when cruising before COVID.
January 2019 - 7 Night Western Caribbean (New Orleans Roundtrip) Cruise on Carnival Dream
Great Experience on the Dream....as usual!
The only thing that could have been better had nothing to do with Carnival but rather with the passengers. I think that a cruise is an opportunity for ALL kinds of people with ALL kinds of interests and preferences to find enjoyment in a single ship. I certainly don't participate in nearly all the things that others might enjoy and that is great. There is something for everyone and I think that should be respected. With that said, I was disappointed that many passengers don't also have this view. I am speaking specifically about the Main Dining Room on Elegant Nights. My wife and I love to dress up, eat exotic foods and enjoy the conversation with out table mates. Why can't people simply either submit to the rules about Elegant Dining or eat somewhere else? Why can't someone like myself enjoy what I specifically enjoy about cruising without feeling odd? I feel it is a matter of respect. I don't want anyone to not be respected but I also want to feel respected in this one area.

Cruise tips
Always enjoy the food and atmosphere on the French Quarter!
No excursion but lots of shopping. It was very different from Jamaica as one would expect. Again, friendly people and no worries about safety, etc. A beautiful day!
We enjoyed shopping and walking around this port. We had been previously so didn't do an excursion. The shopping was great and felt a little pressure but nothing bad. The merchants were eager to sell and willing to negotiate. Didn't feel crowded at all even though there were 6 ships in port.
This was a great stop even though I had reservations about even getting off the ship given the reviews I had read. I had read that you would be overwhelmed with people trying to sell marijuana and that there was NOTHING to see just off the ship. Actually, I never was approached by anyone who made me feel uncomfortable and met some very friendly people just off the ship in the shopping area....just off the ship! There was a strong police presence and we never felt anything but safe. I think Montego Bay has gotten a bad rap. It was our favorite stop on the cruise!
Carnival Dream
Prepare to be impressed!
