Carnival Cruise Reviews (2024 UPDATED): Ratings of Carnival Cruise Line (2024)

3.8

The AC is awful. The ship is always warm. The only comfortable/cool spots are your cabin and 8 aft near Guy’s Pig & Anchor. The elevators have NO AC, and the wait time to even get one is long. Small too. The ship itself is beautiful, but it’s difficult to appreciate due to the number of passengers, who all seem frustrated esp at the beginning of the cruise. They seem to mellow out as the week

Review of Carnival SunshineWe booked this cruise for a first-time cruise for our grandchildren in June of 2024. We were excited about Princess Cays. The cruise was to stop in Nassau and Princess Cays. Due to rough seas, we were unable to Dock at princes Cay. Our second day at Sea it rained off and on most of the day. NO compensation was given for the missing port of call. I have been on

Got back yesterday from 4 night to Bermuda. Food was dreadful in MDR Marco polo. Onion soup was dirty dishwater like shrimp co*cktail had 3 less than medium shrimp. Always below par...and you are not allowed a menu! You had to read menu on your phone! None of the 6 of us had any service. So our nice waiter had to pass his phone around to us to view menu. Totally asinine. I cruise to enjoy, not to

To be fair there were some good with the not so good. Good, Nice clean ship. Majority of the entertainment was great. Our room attendant was great. Joey the cruise director was super funny. Bad, food wasn't really good at all. The ship ran out of Celsius energy drink on day 2. We checked every bar on board and no one had any energy drinks what so ever. They ran out of bacon on day 2. There were

I’ve been on other carnival cruises and this one was the absolute worst ship. This ships lacks things to do for entertainment both for adults and teens. The food was mediocre but worst of all this ship smells like crap, literally poo. Our room smelled so bad we had to switch rooms even after they said it was fixed. The hallways on the second and third floors smell like sewage. Customer service

This was our first cruise and this is our last cruise. We signed up for this cruise for a family trip. Understaibly their are families, kids, teens and older people on this cruise. The kids and teens on this cruise were out of control and disrespectful. I know not carnivals falt but the moment they should have stepped in to set the standard and to make it known these situations were not going to

First, I am a soon to be platinum cruiser and have cruised many Carnival Cruises. I traveled with a large group of family members of all ages and disabilities/handicaps. This cruise was by far the worst experience ever! It all started at the Miami Cruise Port. The staff was rude and not friendly at all. Once inside, I was hoping for a more welcoming staff but no. Once on the ship, the rudeness and

Embarkation - Absolute breeze once the Police Dog approved of us getting on board. #DogsRule Port staff was very friendly and accommodating.Time from car drop off to stepping on the ship and into cabin approximately 15 minutes. We were Suite Level therefore our cabin was ready and we were able to stay in the cabin if we chose.Muster Station process quick and easy. Just find Muster

Booked this cruise in November and planned ahead by reading reviews and forums to help make good decisions for shore excursions. My daughter and I were taking my 9 year old grand daughter for her second cruise. We went on a Carnival sister ship last summer so we really knew our way around the ship quickly. The ship was clean, crew friendly and things ran smoothly. The customers were very noisy
