Trip of a Lifetime by A Traveler from Fombell, PA
Sailing date: Sep 2012

Pros:
The crew

Cons:
When the cruise was over!

We were very happy and impressed with the crew. If there are problems with the personnel, then we can't believe the cruise would be enjoyable. Meals, rooms, entertainment and decor were all wonderful. We were very delighted with our cruise experience!!!

carnaval, the company and cruise

the budjet for the cruise director has GOT to be a joke! in 7 nights 2 shows? also he STRONGLY downplayed Vancover and it was one of the best stops. he told us the streets would be all rolled ua and everyone closed we could have had a wonderful meal at many places and still seen the castle and alot more of this beautiful city. he didnt lie as much as a lie of ommision!

Lot's of picture taking opportunities :) by A Traveler from Kansas
Sailing date: May 2012

Pros:
The dinning staff at dinner was very good.

breakfast and lunch was good, but I would have liked biscuits and gravy for breakfast. The daily drink was a great way to try something different everyday and for a good price. Reusing the glass you buy on the first day of the cruise, will save you 1$ on every drink after the first :)

It's fun to play Air hockey, or ms. pacman, late at night in the 24 hour arcade. Nice way to unwind after a day of walking and sightseeing.

Our 40th Anniversary Alaska Cruise by Wilda P from Banning, Ca.
Sailing date: May 2012

Pros:
We liked the beautiful views of Alaska the most along with the excurisions in Alaska.

Cons:
That someone in the information booth on the dock in Skagway told us wrong information and it made us miss our first excursion.

We had an absolutely wonderful time on our trip to Alaska on the Spirit booked through Orbitz. We went the end of May and had wonderful weather while we were there and everyone was friendly and accommodating. The only problem we had for the whole week was in Skagway someone on the dock gave us wrong information about where to wait for our excursion and it caused us to miss our train. Be sure to read very carefully where to meet for your excursions. This was the first time we booked the balcony. We loved it!!!

Relaxing and Interesting by John B from St. Louis
Sailing date: May 2012

Pros:
Getting off of the ship.

Cons:
Too many sea days.

This is a cruise for those looking for something different. No beaches. No heavy partying. If you are expecting to see crystal clear skies 24/7 you will be disappointed. What you will see is a temperate rain forest ecosystem that is beautiful, pristine and clean. There will be plenty of time to relax as the shore time is at a minimum. There are three nights before one arrives in Skagway, which is the longest shore day. Tracey Arm was not accessible on our cruise because of icebergs but the scenery was exceptional. We recommend the Chilcoot hike/float in Skagway. We did not purchase a Carnival excursion in Juneau and boy, were we glad we waited. There were numerous vendors lined up on the dock with great prices....$16 round trip to the Mendenhall Glacier. Fantastic! There is very little time in Ketchican, but for some cheap natural history walk to the Totem Heritage Center: $5 bucks! Victoria, BC, was a waste for shore time. Only four hours. This was just enough time to walk to the city center and back. Overall we found that the boat was excellent, the food was good and the service just fine. We were too early in the season for the salmon run. As a result, the bears were not down at the streams yet....although we did see a couple of black bears, a few Eagles and various other wildlife.....watch for whales next to the ship! This was an enjoyable trip.

Our first cruise...a trip of a lifetime! by Tim C. from Bend, Oregon
Sailing date: Mar 2012

Pros:
The ship was beautiful. There was such great variety of activities and food. The ship and Cabo were safe and hospitable.

Cons:
The coffee was bad. Had to be back to ship too early---wanted to stay on shore at least until 10:00 first night.

The ship was clean, well decorated, well furnished, beautiful.

Ship excursions were overpriced compared to booking your own shore activities. Ship instilled fear and anxiety for local trips that was unnecessary and not appreciated.

Excellent cruise by Joseph e  from San Diego
Sailing date: Mar 2012

Pros:
Stuart Dunn the cruise director

Cons:
Do not buy the endless bubbles. Total rip off!

Excellent value for money. Can't wait to travel again on carnival. The cruise was at capacity. Yet it felt very comfortable. We will take carnival to Alaska for sure.
