Meets your needs by A Traveler from Chicago
Sailing date: Feb 2013

Pros:
Nice amenities in stateroom, boat easy to navigate around, clean and new looking.

Cons:
Food was ok and not much variety, but did not starve by any means.

Once acclamated, Ship was fairly easy to navigate. Being an older vessel, it was well maintained and up-to-date. The miniature golf was a bit beat up as was the waterworks....but still able to capture the experience.

A Relaxing Getaway by Deb S. from Crescent City, FL
Sailing date: Feb 2013

Pros:
The friendliness of the crew.

Cons:
Bar prices were a bit high.

Although the Ecstasy is an older ship, it is kept in excellent. There were few moments when you didn't see the crew cleaning/polishing. The size of the ship also was an advantage. It was easy to orient oneself to the layout, and boarding/debarking were not plagued by long, tedious lines; it also enhanced food service.

Such a great time by A Traveler from NY, NY
Sailing date: Jan 2013

Pros:
The crew was a lot of fun

Cons:
the overall appearance of the ship was just ok, but it was a good value for the money

This was a great value for the money. we were fortunate enough to have a really fun crew and the people on the ship were really great too. Food was ok, drinks are a little pricey, but overall a great experience

Surviving Sandy by Kelly H from Houston, TX
Sailing date: Oct 2012

Pros:
we lived through it

Cons:
rough ride

I have cruised in the ship before it was renovated. I like the layout of the ship and the amenities. Having the kid fun things at the back of the boat away from other things is smart.

A great time by Kathy C from Jacksonville, FL
Sailing date: Sep 2012

Pros:
Atmosphere

Cons:
None

Our party of four had a really good time on this Carnival cruise. Our recent 4-day sailing took us to Nassau and Half Moon Cay and 1 sea day. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves. It's not a luxury cruise, so we weren't expecting fine dining or luxurious cabin etc. But overall, it was really good value. With our small party (4 people), we opted to try the flexible dining. On the third night at main dining, we had Jose as our head server. He was HILARIOUS! Not only he and his team provided excellent service, they were such entertainment. We went back the following day requesting for Jose...

A very poor experience by Susan D from Austin, TX
Sailing date: Jun 2012

Pros:
Traveling with family

Cons:
Food, entertainment, excursion problems

I filled this out once and got an error message stating that the program had timed out. I don't want to fill out the entire evaluation again because the same problem will probably develop but to want to state that this was a terrible cruise. We would never cruise with Carnival again.

Not enough hand sanitizers in key areas and many that they had were often empty. Dining table had 11 instead of 10 and the crowding made it impossible to pull chairs up to the table. Room was simply had too many people crowded into it.

Hamburgers were the best things we could find to eat and we don't need to go on a cruise to eat McDonald's style food.

Good, but doesn't stand to the expectati by Felix R from Israel
Sailing date: Jul 2012

Pros:
Vary good food, nice rooms, Half moon Cay beach services.

Cons:
General feeling that all except food is with added cost

The ship has a vary good dinning options, bars and the water slide is nice. But the ship has a poor design both from the aesthetics, lack of shaded areas. Some of the water slides where not working.
