Prologue We sailed on the Panorama to the the Mexican Riviera with a small group celebrating our oldest son's 41st birthday. My wife and I are both Travel Agents and have sailed on many different cruises and cruise lines. We had been on the Panorama 3 times previously right after the cruise lines started sailing again after the pandemic, because the prices were very low to encourage people to ...

I have been cruising with Carnival for the last 15 years and had good experiences with them up until 2024. We did the 15 day Hawaii cruise and were highly disappointed. Food and Service on the Carnival Miracle was subpar at best and the ship had many things out of service like ice makers throughout the ships drink stations. We noticed that there was far less crew in the MDR and at the bars. ...

So this was my 4th cruise.(all on carnival). I didn't really enjoy my first 3 cruises but my idea really wanted to go. I have been to the long Beach terminal on all 4 trips and never had an major issues with the staff until this trip. When arriving , I was surprised when told i had to drive offsite to downtown long Beach to park, ($80 prepaid btw), and take a shuttle back. This took about an hour ...

Horrible cruise! We call it the cruise from Hell. Broken propulsion system AGAIN on this ship!!! We had high anxiety and stress the entire week. They set sail knowing the ship couldn’t reach maximum speed and cancelled ports before we even left Long Beach. Crookedest stunt ever to not announce it before we boarded. Give us a choice to get our money back 100%!! Some of us flew from the midwest and ...

This was not my first cruise I've sailed on different ships with carnival and I have never had the worst experience as I have this time. 1. I took 14 people along with me on this Cruise to have never been. I wanted them to see the ship sail away and it didn't sell away on time. In fact it may have been eight or 9:00 when it sailed away wasn't informed of what time it was selling. 2. It ...

This cruise was absolutely horrible. I have been on many cruises and this did not feel like a cruise. Shows were mainly comedy club or a few of the staff dancing. Food was totally horrible. A group of us ordered lasagna in the dining room and we all sent it back it was so discusting. Buffet had only 6 choices on it and a salad and desert bar. Barely eatable. To go to the dining room you had to ...

When you first get to the port and see the big ship you say to yourself omg how big and beautiful it is until you get on it. The way the have people cattle in lines and it gets not better as you go on your cruise. We had 7 days of hell. It was extremely hot down in Mexico also that didn't help. Once you get into the terminal they have picture's you can take and then they sit you back ...

The Vibe is bad. The food quality is poor. The rooms were dirty even after being cleaned of our familys 2 rooms. An Employee stold a cup either a friend name on it out of a family'sroom. The shower in a friend room wouldn't drain correctly it took them 3 days to fix. Toilet was plugged 3 days to fix it they treated them like they didn'tno how to flush the toilet. . In a family friends room. ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s

We have a friend who cruised Carnival Radiance twice and told us great things! Unfortunately, our experience didn't meet the expectations we had. Upon arrival, our cabin wasn't sanitized, but we had clean linen. The self-serve buffet was hospital food at best (I know because I cooked for one). My husband and I traveled with our 15 year old son who checked out the O2 Club on a daily and nightly ...

We chose this cruise because we had a previous great experience on the carnival dream. We were leery of the reputation carnival had with party animals and were hesitant to bring our toddler on as a result, however given our previous experience we chose them anyway on a Mexico sailing. The ship itself is beautiful and once you get a feel of that flow of design it makes a lot of sense and you can ...
