We recently went to the Mexican Riviera on Carnival/Spirit.The ship is large but the service and shows were good.Our only complaint is that the ship caters to people 35 and under and the activities are also youth related.The cruise had a large number of small children running everywhere,obnoxious teens, and loud,rude 20 year olds .They took over the pool and pool areas each day.They flaunted every rule particulary the dress code for dinner.Staff did ...  Read the complete review

As I filled in my Comment Card, following my recent cruise on the Carnival Spirit, I realised there was not adequate space to list the problems myself and fellow travellers encountered on the ?fun ship?. My complaints and comments are listed below. General Ship Condition. 1. Our cabin balcony was continually covered in soot from the funnels. Nelly, our Cabin stewardess, did her best to keep it clean but still the balcony got sooty. Two garments were soiled by this soot. We paid for the two back cabins for good views of the Panama Canal. This would not have been the case if we had known the soot would be a problem. The problem was also very noticeable on ...  Read the complete review

Carnival describe their cruises as 'fun-filled' and that sums it up well. We've recently returned from a four day cruise from Los Angeles to Mexico and back, which we tacked on the end of a fly-drive holiday to California.

All age ranges were represented, but I would say the majority were family groups, and 20 - 40+. This was not probably best suited for those looking for a quiet sedate cruise. They have many other similar ships, many operating out of Miami. Our cabin was surprisingly spacious - twin beds which can be converted ...  Read the complete review

Took a Carnival cruise to Nassau and Freeport end of May of this year. All employees provided wonderful service. We were pampered, and made to feel like royalty. Our room was made up twice a day. The cabin steward assisted us with our every request. The food in "Windows on the Sea" was great! We ate there throughout most of the trip. Captain's cocktail party was fun. The entertainment equaled anything in Las Vegas. The only problem we encountered was the food in the formal dining room. I like to eat, I want good food and lots of it. The food in the formal dining room was designed to look "pretty", and was of small quantities. Yes, we ...  Read the complete review
