Carnival Bahamas Cruise Reviews

The only way you can NOT enjoy a holiday cruise on the Ecstasy is if you make up your mind NOT to enjoy the cruise! We left Charleston on December 22 and returned to port on December 26 so we were actually on board over the Christmas holiday. The entire staff worked hard to make sure this was a magical holiday experience! With Holiday themed activities galore every evening with a tree lighting, ...

The only reason I did not have an overall rating of excellent was the excessive time waiting for embarkation and waiting for buffets. However, the experience was awesome! The food was fantastic. The rooms were always cleaned. The port excursions were very enjoyable. Swim with the dolphins in Freeport is highly recommended. Plenty of fun activities on the ship as well. Comedy club ...

While food and drinks were available almost 24 hours, the activities were poorly communicated and most events were only in the evenings between 7:30 and 11, right in the middle of our dinner hour. Prior cruises I have been on had piano bar, karaoke, dance lessons etc ongoing throughout the afternoons, early evenings as well. The cruise seemed more interested in selling alcohol than getting people ...

This was my first cruise so I had no idea what to expect. Although, it took forever to get on the ship, I was greeted with champagne by very friendly crew members. Throughout the entire cruise, there was a very laid back attitude on the cruise. It was fun with plenty of things to do. We met some very nice people that we still stay in contact with and plan to go on a cruise with them. My grandson ...

I chose this particular cruise to enable us to join some friends for Christmas. We had 3 cabins on the Veranda deck. Because we booked late the only way we could be together / adjacent was near the rear. We were originally booked on the Valor which I had investigated to ensure our adjacent cabin balconies could be adjoined and that we would have the services of the Carnival hub to ...

My family and I (4 adults) have been bitten by the cruise bug, and wanted to do something a little different for Christmas. This was our third cruise, all with Carnival, as we had an excellent time on our previous two (the Paradise, which is a bit tiny and outdated, but still managed to provide some fun; and the Magic, which was fantastic and definitely made my mom's 65th birthday special). We ...

Holiday Cruise! Great way to spend the christmas holiday! I went on this cruise with my boyfriend and family. We all had a fantastic time. The cruise went from Baltimore, MD to South Carolina, Florida, Nassau, and Freeport. The Ship & Cabin My boyfriend and I had a balcony. The balcony was fantastic. My only complaint is the bed. The bed was not the most comfortable thing. It was not ...

Overall I have rated it 4 stars because overall we did enjoy it and I was aware of its shortcomings and such prior to booking. My party consisted of the parents and 3 children 10-16. Bottom line upfront: This is a cruise geared towards adults with plenty of activities to keep the kids busy. If you are into drinking and hanging out at bars you would rate this a 5 star cruise. Even ...

Christmas cruise for myself and 17-year-old son - paid for Faster to the Fun, a complete waste, did not get on ship until almost 1pm. Room was open and not vacuumed. Went to lunch and returned, room had been vacuumed. Later that evening I was in the bathroom (sitting in the bathroom, if you know what I mean), assistant cabin boy walked in the cabin without knocking and proceeded to walk INTO THE ...

We chose this cruise for a few reasons: This is our 4th year traveling at Christmas, we wanted to go somewhere warm(er), the port is 2 hours from our home, and the ship was not overly large. This was definitely a good choice. We got an 8k extended balcony because hubby & I are both introverts and like to get away to ourselves. This also proved to be a good choice. We found a good variety of ...
