5 People Who Should Not Cruise Carnival

Carnival Cruise Line faces a lot of criticism for a lot of things. I don't feel that all that criticism is warranted and maybe if we identified people who should not cruise on Carnival we could help people avoid a bad time or bad experiences. In that vain, here are 5 people that should not cruise Carnival.

    Thank you Tony for this video! Im African American and went on my first cruise which was a Carnival Cruise 27 years ago. I have been on 5 Carnival, 4 Royal and 1 NCL. I have to say all 5 Carnivals were the best. I had no issues. Now that I'm older I do prefer the more laid back atmosphere of Royal. I now have two grandbabies. I want their first experience of cruising to be on the cruise line that earned the title the 'Fun Ships'. Planning now. Big thanks to Carnival for thinking of families and making it more affordable for families to cruise vacation together.

    Bottom line according to this video - Carnival is a "dirty sneaker" cruise line catering to the slob set. If you like the Golden Corral you'll love the Carnival experience. Unfortunately when you offer cruise fares so low they're not believable you attract the slobs, drunks, fighters, pot smokers and generally poorly mannered people. There have been more than enough examples in story and video form to back all of this up. Avoid Carnival if you want a pleasant vacation devoid of ridiculous drama and poor behavior. Think Walmart of the Sea. Tony was simply trying to be diplomatic in a rather soft explanation of why not to cruise Carnival.

    Just did my first and last Carnival cruise on the Horizon. The pot smokers were in full force before we even left Miami, and we couldn’t even enjoy coffee on our balcony in the mornings due to the smell. Drunks everywhere and don’t get me started on the attire of some of the guests.

    Maybe my age, mid-60's, but I really like HAL. I think a lot of people go on cruises to have constant action/things to do. I do like to cruise very vacation-like. Don't book an excursion at every port, enjoy the slow pace of sea days, and enjoy enhancement. I still have action vacations but for me I like the laid back cruise.

Stopping the over service of alcohol could solve 90% of these issues that end up being shown here on KZread. It seems there's always alcohol involved in these troubles. Unlimited alcohol packages encourage people to drink way more than they ever would at a bar, restaurant or nightclub on land.

    Hey Tony, We have sailed since the 90's on many of the cruise lines. Since the pandemic the people's behavior is more letting loose and less relaxing on Carnival. I must say, their staff called us by name and were very polite to two old people. I went to the desk, stood in a long line and complimented the staff on how good the service was. Did a cruise on MSC right after and even though the vibe was more relaxed, the staff was cold and rude and our cabin reeked. So can't judge a book by its cover.

    Carnival cruisers should want to have fun, but I think there is room for all types of people. I don’t particularly want to be on a ship with lots of kids, what do I do? I go to the Serenity Deck or the spa. I think everyone should dress up for formal night in the dining room, but if you don’t, I’m not going to let it bother me. I am on a cruise to be with my husband so if I think there are people acting like they have no class, I will move to a different place. A cruise is what you make it. If you are constantly worried about everybody else and what they are or are not doing, according to your standards, you probably won’t be happy on any cruise line.

I've cruised on Royal and NCL 19 times since the cruise restart in 2021 and all my cruises have been multi-racial, multi-cultural, all ages, genders, etc. The diversity is definitely greatest on the shorter 3-4 day Bahamas and Caribbean cruises because they are easier for families with children. But other than the Transatlantics, which are generally retirees, there is tremendous diversity on Royal and NCL.

    I have never sailed on Carnival but I’ve been invited to sail Carnival, many times. If I sail Carnival, it will be the three new ships and has nothing to do with carnival itself but the fact that I like newer, larger ships. My thoughts on cruise lines is that people should cruise whatever line they like and not worry about others. It seems to be a “mine is better than yours” argument to somehow verify that you made the right choice and thus are smarter then others. Seems like a lot of insecure people that seem to worry about things that have no effect on them.

I always considered that was because it was our first cruise, but you pointed out some additional items to consider such as the cruise director always letting people know there was something happening and asking them to join. That realization really gave me a perspective I had not considered. Thank you. As to those who express a concern about diversity in cruising, I would ask why do they cruise? For me personally, it is because I enjoy experiencing other cultures around the world. In my opinion, having a diverse crew and diverse cross section of passengers only enhances my cultural experience because I get to share my experience with people of different cultures and understand a bit more about their perspective from that experience.

    Tony, once again a good segment. I think you hit the nail on the head. As I have aged a bit I must say the appeal of Carnival has definitely faded for several reasons. What has continued to draw me to Carnival is the ease of driving to a departure port, their schedule as it falls in line with family vacations and obviously the cost. I love the fact that I can drive along the east coast and catch a cruise from so many ports for 4 or 5 days or longer. I wish Princess and Holland America had a ship in the Caribbean year round as the family only has a small window in late July or early August that we can all sail together. And I must mention that I will miss leaving out of Charleston but Norfolk is actually closer.

Sometimes it might be ok but generally it is so loud we find it very annoying since it happens most every night.

    Tony, i appreciate your video as always. As a black 40 something male, i do have something to say/add about this. You say Carnival is more inclusive, but I dont believe that is by choice or marketing of the cruise line. Carnival, in general has lower/more competitive pricing than most other lines. People of color, bc of a bunch of issues historically in the US, occupy more of the lower income brackets, so they will want to have a good time like everyone else, but will want to stretch their dollars as far as they will go. So more POC (People of Color) will go to Carnival for that reason, and have a great time doing it. If they had the resources, they’d like to cruise on Royal, Princess and Disney too. I have a lot of folks in my family who like to cruise. Some are in lower income brackets, so they cruise on Carnival more than any other line, but some of my family (myself included) have more means and cruise on other cruise lines more often too. We all came from that lower income bracket tho, so we all can relate. I just wanted to put that out there for folks Tony. It’s not necessarily a choice of Carnival over other cruise lines for lots of POC, it’s the choice that makes the most financial sense for them.

    You are spot on, As struggling college student my Wife and I took several Carnival cruises. After getting her masters degree in nursing and me a MBA. We have went on more expensive cruises, like Disney, Princess, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian. As Black people we like ships that are diverse but because we have more money we go on more expensive ships. This is about income. Since most Black people have been oppressed in our country, we all know that white people have more money and income. I seen a lot of poor white people on Carnival.

    ⁠@@bkeith1998”as a struggling college student I took cruises” weren’t struggling to much were you? “Most white people have more money and income” While you were being so oppressed struggling in college taking cruises most white people I know couldn’t dream of taking a cruise no matter what cruise line it was on. It took most of us well into our 30-40 to even dream of doing such a thing….. but hey that’s the life of not being “oppressed” and “having more money and income”

    I'm black and I agree and disagree... black people will spend money on what they want so I don't like being put in the "poor" box that your putting us is...although the statistics support your point we will spend. Second I will give credit to carnival as it being a decision they made to make their cruises more accessible...carnival could easily change a few things and put there pricing on par with other cruise lines...so do give them credit for that. Thanks

    Sailed twice on Carnival. Great crew and food, but probably won’t be back because I think the other type of person who should NOT sail with them is the person who doesn’t want to pay separately for a ton of things, including tips. We sailed on Celebrity recently (would love to see your POV on them) and just prefer to know that the crew was taken care of in advance and we can walk off the ship without worrying about our additional bill. Added bonus, we don’t have the spend the last 2 days of the vacation hearing other people complain that they have to tip the crew and contorting themselves justifying not doing it. 😢 BTW, loved that you addressed the elephant in our nation’s room!

    Okay, I may get slammed for this, but we just got off the Wonder of the Seas, and most of those Reasons Not to Sail Carnival apply to our RCCL cruise. We did not eat in the main dining room, but several of the fancy specialty restaurants did not have table clothes....and these are meals you are paying $50+ for! The dress of the cruisers was all over the place. Lots of announcements. And this by far was the most diverse cruise population we've ever sailed with. It was not when school was out, but there were plenty of the under 5 years old crowd also.

    Aww! I felt so happy to see that one of the things you like about Carnival is their diversity. My family was all Puerto Rican 🇵🇷 until us kids were brought to New Jersey. Now we have Dominican 🇩🇴, German🇩🇪, White & Black 🇺🇸 mixed into the bunch so far. It hurts to know my nieces and nephews own cousins and parents aren’t allowed to have a family vacation in certain places because there are people out there who will go out of their way to make them miserable. Thanks for the love. We feel the same about you. ❤❤❤
