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.

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.

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.

Huge thank you for your comments about racism. I'm not sure I can imagine any other cruise YouTuber having the courage to discuss this. It's a topic close to my heart and I'm sure others feel the same way.

Carnival is NOT my choice of cruise lines. I have sailed many times on Carnival, because I take my children and/or grandchildren so they can have a great time. They love Carnival for all the reasons you mentioned. LOL LOL these are the same reasons I don't like Carnival. Carnival has a place in this world, but it is not for everyone. I am booked to sail on the Carnival Panorama in December with my adult grandchildren and their children. I will enjoy watching and hearing about what a wonderful time they are having.
Next year, I will sail on Holland American to fulfill MY choice of cruise experiences.

It’s not a question of class, it’s a question of simple manners and courtesy…they are either there, or they aren’t! If manners and courtesy are there, that’s all it takes!!😊

You always stand tall. Thank you brother. Today's word: beloved.

Thanks for having the courage to call out diversity and the people who object to it. You just earned another subscriber. As for what's next, I would love to see a list like this for Virgin Voyages.

A great video! Nailed it. Thanks for your comments.

Tony thank you for being you… Carnival is our favorite as we love the vibe and the atmosphere

[larrypaulhus]

Thanks, Tony I enjoyed the segment. Carnival was the first cruise we took and, in my opinion, the one where I had the most fun. 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.

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!

Bang on with your comments Tony. Everything you said was on point and well articulated.

[LifeWellCruised]

There’s definitely a cruise line for everyone & this was was fun (also interesting) video 👏

I really appreciate how you handled some sensitive topics in this video.

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.

No need for negative. There are many brands and types to cruise on. You do you! I prefer Princess, but I know of many Princess haters - I do me, you do you!

Tony I don't comment often but today I want to say Thank you. I appreciate your video and how unapologetic you are by calling things out. Merci mon ami

[mariaray]

Thanks Tony. Very valid points. Love Carnival!
