I Took An Alaskan Cruise And I Was Disappointed (BEWARE)

Editorial Summary

The creator provides a detailed review of a seven night Alaskan cruise aboard the Carnival Luminosa, expressing significant disappointment regarding the value for the four thousand dollar price tag. While praising the natural beauty of Alaska, the creator highlights several issues with the ship itself, including inadequate electrical outlets, a malfunctioning heater, and inconsistent toilet flushing. The reviewer notes that the ship, which was formerly part of the Costa cruises line, lacks the traditional Carnival atmosphere and features subpar food options that serve as imitations of popular Carnival brands. Operational frustrations are also noted, such as a lack of porters during embarkation and a chaotic tender process in Juneau that caused delays. The creator compares this experience unfavorably to a similarly priced Royal Caribbean cruise, concluding that the Luminosa did not live up to the expectations of a refurbished vessel. Despite these grievances, the creator enjoyed specific excursions like dog sledding and plans to review other Carnival ships in the future.
