Carnival Alaska Cruise Reviews (2023 UPDATED): Ratings of Carnival Cruises to Alaska (2024)

3.8

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

We picked this cruise because my brother is local and didn't want to fly. It fit nicely into our tight schedule and I thought it would be fun for my 30 something niece. I had read that it had undergone a refurbishment last fall, so I was shocked that the room didn't seem to have any upgrades. It actually seemed like a floating Motel 6 and they don't have any body lotion or conditioner in the

The value was good, about $1500 for 7 night Alaskan cruise but remember you get what you pay for. The embarkation was smooth, our balcony room was clean but dated, the room attendants were fantastic. The food was just plain awful, my husband never had a hot meal. We paid extra for surf and turf but the lobster was like rubber. The buffets were bad, lacking in fresh food and the taste was

Staff overall is great. Loved the dance shows, loved the "mustache" guy sorry I lost his name, loved some of the photo staff, dancers/singers great, dining room staff was hit or miss, I Mean table 169 wonderful!! Arnawa is amazing!!! The girl going around with the shots wonderful! Ports were great, excursions were fantastic, highly recommend zipline in Skagway and the crab boat in Ketchikan! From

We received a wonderful offer for this cruise. We had never been to Alaska and the Luminosa was recently acquired by Carnival from Costa and appeared to be a great medium size ship. The room attendant was wonderful, however, the ship looked very dated ('80s Euro) design which was disappointing. To start, there was a vibration that continued throughout the trip. Then, we had trouble with the

My sister took us on an Alaska cruise (thanks sis). We chose the Luminosa over the Spirit. Hindsight says we probably made a mistake. This was the first sailing of the Luminosa from Seattle, 4 May 2023 The Good: The food in the dining room was about as good what we've received on every other Carnival ship we've been on. The wait staff was attentive. The cruise director and "Fun Squad"

We enjoy taking the end of the season cruises. Usually the crowds aren't as large and the temperature is nice.We have been on several cruise lines and have always preferred Carnival. But, our recent cruise to Alaska was very disappointing.CARNIVAL HUB APPLICATION: This application is frustrating to use. I could not stay connected to the Wi-Fi, and had to log in each time to use it.

My family decided a cool weather getaway from the desert heat was a great idea. So, Alaska here we come on the Carnival Spirit. I must say I was quite disappointed with the ship. Ok, we last sailed on the Carnival Panorama, which is an amazing ship and I am not trying to compare the two. The Carnival Spirit has an inconsistent, indecisive décor. Art Deco meets Old Masters meets Greek

Honestly price was a big factor because we were bringing a big group (total of 7). This includes 2 teenagers who were bored to death during anytime on board. I believe this is partially due to lack of crew. Bars closed early with no activities in them, just about only thing to do was trivia in an open area where you could barely hear the announcer. Cruise director Erin was mostly nowhere to be

This cruise was our 50th anniversary celebration that included family members for a group of 10. Two disappointments before sailing--Icy Strait Point substituted for Skagway and a ship change that altered the staterooms we had painstakingly selected.The Cruise Critic ship review is accurate--decor overwhelming to the point of tacky. Otherwise, Splendor is pleasant enough. Grandkids enjoyed
