Carnival Cruises Review

Carnival Cruise Line consistently gets positive reviews for affordable cruising from sites such as CruiseCritic.com, BudgetTravel.com, Porthole Cruise Magazine, and online booking sites such as Orbitz.com. Each ship is slightly different, but most Carnival cruises reviews give high renakings for value, cleanliness and an overall �fun� experience, especially the Liberty (out of Miami), Splendor (out of LA), and the Miracle (out of New York). Budget travelers report getting great deals on quality rooms, good food, and inclusions.

Carnival Cruise Line operates mega ships (2,000+ passengers) that tour the Caribbean, Alaska, the Bahamas, Hawaii, Mexico, Canada, and the Panama Canal. Trips range from the quick two-night getaway to voyages of 10 days or more. You can depart from several ports throughout the U.S. and Canada, making it one of the more accessible cruise lines. Passengers have the option of researching and booking onshore excursions ahead of time through the Carnival.com website.

What it comes down to with Carnival cruises is value. With trips starting below $50/person/night, meals included, on-board entertainment options for all ages, and a wide variety of shore excursions (for an additional fee), passengers never get bored. The room size and d�cor is better than expected at this price point as well, experts note.
