Carnival Alaska Cruise Reviews (2024 UPDATED): Ratings of Carnival Cruises to Alaska (2024)

3.8

I was nervous coming on this cruise because I'd read really negative reviews of good, e.g. wrong temperature or otherwise unsafe food. Overall food wasn't a highlight of this cruise, as the buffet options felt limited and dining room food was uneven in quality. We got things like dry chicken, frozen vegetables, and desserts that seemed to have too much gelatin - not inedible food. There were some

Day one at sea was rough. Many seasick people including myself. After that it was great. The food and shows as well as other activities were very good. I really enjoyed the evening movies. The staff on the ship were extremely helpful. The cruise director did a great job! My grandson enjoyed the pool and hot tub. He also did miniature golf, ping pong, and loved the basket ball court. He did a

There are 8 of us in the group and 3 of us became sick eating the very bad food in the dining room. Chicken was so tough I had to ask for a steak knife. Cornish game hen was overcooked to almost burnt. Early comedy night was as raw as could be and I had to leave. We were given wrong directions by staff who could hardly speak or understand English. These were staff in higher positions that are

Where do i begin. Let’s start with the embarkation process. This is the most unorganized process ever. The poor handicap passengers have to wait hours due to the lack of staff able to assist them onto the ship. So if you are handicap and require a wheelchair, expect hours waiting. Upon boarding, we noticed our bed was a double bed. We asked for two twins. We saw the steward and asked if he could

I cannot tell how excited my family was for this cruise! With the exception of a few, my concierge John, our wait staff (Amazing) and the ladies who did our nails and the manager of the spa...Everyone else seemed like they were being held captive! I kept asking "how long have you been on"? It was insane! The activities director Sucked! Seriously, my daughter is 31 and she was bored out of her

We chose this cruise for the dates offered to us. My husband and I weren't sure about a smaller ship but the Luminosa was wonderful. The cruise wasn't full so maybe that's why it felt roomier. I can't get over how clean the ship was kept. Everywhere I turned a crew member was cleaning. The food was the best we ever had on any cruise ship by far! We're almost Platinum. All of the crew

This was hands down the fasted embarkation that I have ever had with Carnival. We actually got on the ship earlier than what they had said, less sitting and waiting. The room was fine, the bed was not as soft as we are used to from the past ships we have been on. The food is about the same quality that you find on any Carnival Cruise. I would recommend getting up a little early so you beat the

This was our first Alaskan cruise. The ship was great. It’s older and smaller with an art deco feel. We loved it. Easy to get around and the crew was amazing. We even had a bit of a medical situation on board and the medical staff was first class with more compassion than you get at any random clinic or emergency room. The food was very good and the service in the food areas was perfect. The

Had an absolutely wonderful time! Carnival Cruise NEVER disappoints! The ship was beautiful and clean. The staff are absolutely amazing and very hard workers. The food! Oh my gosh! The food was absolutely amazing! The steak house just blew me away! I had Filet Mignon and the Lobster and the Filet Mignon was to die for! It actually melted in my mouth the taste was absolutely wonderful! The cabin

I’m actually writing this in the airport in Seattle. Just got off this morning and can not get over how horrible this ship was. We are platinum members so been on a lot of carnival ships and Luminosa was by far the worst! The staff is wonderful as always except for the cruise director Neil. Never saw or heard the guy. The most low energy ship I’ve ever been on. Now for the food…Dining room was
