Seattle to Alaska Carnival Cruise Reviews (2023 UPDATED): Cruise Ratings on Cruise Critic (2024)

3.7

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

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

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

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

The cruise was a very enjoyable trip for my husband and myself. Embarking and disembarking went smoothly and quickly. The muster station is now just a quick check-in. The ship was very clean in all the public areas and restrooms. My only complaint was the dirty windows of the ship. Our hard-working steward kept our cabin clean all week. There was only one outlet in our cabin. We brought along

We chose the Luminosa ship because we like Cruising with Carnival. This was probably our 5 or 6 cruise and we have always enjoyed them. This cruise was one of our favorites. The ship is beautiful and I could not find anything that I thought needed to be fixed or repaired. We had a balcony room and it was just as great as everyother balcony room we’ve had. Our stateroom attendant was NI KETUT.

Let’s start with the good Everyone was very nice and worked very hard to begin with, the food was the worst I’ve ever had on a carnival ship, everything was cold not many options. Also, it was like the people that were serving the food was trying to limit what you can eat. That’s very disappointing next the cruise Director can use more training you could never hear him, and he did not energize

This review is late, but necessary. This was our first cruise, and it was a wonderful experience. Evening dining and casual buffets offered plenty to fill up on. However, the buffet bars, should have stayed open longer. We were very satisfied with our room, and our cabin steward was friendly and very accommodating. The Activity Director was a hoot, and we enjoyed the entertainment. All crew
