Being able to get this close before it became the world's largest artificial reef was the highlight of the cruise. Friendly staff and a full bar with snacks only enhanced our trip. Kinda difficult to navigate getting back to the highway, but don't let that deter you from enjoying an hour on the river

Someone even ended up choosing my mom as a prime suspect! I like that it's not scripted so you can go again and it be a different experience every time. The ambiance downstairs in the boat was nice. The food was also great. There were simple salads on the table when we sat down. Later in the evening they brought out the main course- shrimp skewers, rice, green beans, a roll, and chicken with a delicious sauce. For dessert we had a berry pie with whipped cream. All of the food was good. The service was impeccable. Our servers made sure to refill our glasses of wine with a sizable pour. We loved this experience and would love to come back again!

I run culinary tours for a living and while I was in New Orleans, I went on 4 different food tours…read more This Culinary Crawl was the worst and I called for my money back. The guide had never done the tour before and was obnoxious and offensive. I wanted to leave after 20 minutes. The line-up of restaurants was not as advertised and the ones featured were nothing special. The Warehouse District really isn't the best neighborhood to experience New Orleans - it caters to the conventions and doesn't have a whole lot of soul. Halfway through the tour, the owner of the company came and relieved the horrible tour guide (thank goodness!) Unfortunately, he wasn't educated about the area and wasn't very knowledgeable about the restaurants either! I would NEVER go on another tour by this company. Please save your dollars and check out the tours with Confederacy of Cruisers and New Orleans Culinary History Tours - both were excellent.

We will still have a great time despite this fiasco. It's just very disappointing!

My first cruise. Carnival Triumph. Inexpensive vacation ($800 a person for 6 days.) Ports: Cozumel…read more& Progreso. Did the Champagne snorkel excursion in Cozumel. Progreso- not worth getting off the boat unless you do an excursion or enjoy being hassled to buy something every 2 seconds. Cruise: Great drinks (top shelf), ok-to-good food (better than an all inclusive resort in Mexico). Gotta make your own fun which we did. Small pools (surprising), nice staff, left from New Orleans. Tips: take a power strip (not enough plug-ins in cabin). Buy the drink package before you leave (it costs $130 more for 2 ppl if you purchase on the boat). Skip the WiFi unless you just have to have it (worked half the time). Download the Carnival app w/chat (5$). Spa was way too expensive even with the $50 I won the 1st day in a drawing. Also, if anyone has video of me doing the "running man" on the Capitol Bar stage in front of everyone with the cruise director, message me. Thanks.

There were a lot of kids, so if you like noise and people that don't care what their children do then book it, otherwise I say get the sunset cruise for people over 21...and yes, if you don't watch your children you should be asked to go sit indoors. Otherwise this boat ride was very scenic.

Listen up, Biloxi crew if you're just holing up in the casinos, stuffing your face at buffets, and…read morenever stepping foot on the sand or a boat, you're straight-up robbing yourself and disrespecting the good people of the Gulf Coast. Come on, y'all! This ain't what Biloxi is about. I rolled into town ready for some real adventure, and after chatting with locals (who know their stuff), they all pointed me straight to Ship Island Excursions. Best decision I made the whole trip. The boat ride out? Pure magic. About an hour across the sound, wind in my hair, and that captain man, what a character! He had us cracking up the whole way with his stories, pointing out dolphins like it was no big deal (spoiler: it was a big deal flipper squad escorted us like VIPs). The narration was gold: history, wildlife, tall tales, the works. Felt like we were in on some secret Gulf adventure. Once we hit Ship Island, it was game on. White sand beaches that look like they belong in the Caribbean, crystal-clear water way better than the mainland, and that old Fort Massachusetts to poke around in. I rented a chair and umbrella, plopped down, and let the sun do its thing. But let's be real I couldn't just sit still. Me and a couple new buddies from the boat got up to some harmless shenanigans: epic shell-hunting contests, splashing around like kids, trying (and failing) to build the world's saddest sandcastle before the tide won. One guy swore he saw a mermaid; I didn't argue. We were all just living our best lives, laughing our heads off. The whole vibe is chill but electric the crew keeps everything smooth, the people are friendly as heck, and you feel like you're part of something special. Pro tip: Pack snacks or hit the concession stand, but don't miss the ride back more dolphin sightings and that golden-hour glow over the water. If you're in Biloxi and you skip this, you're cheating yourself out of one of the top "had to do it" experiences on the coast. Casinos are fun, but this? This is the real deal. Boat cruise + beach escape + good folks + zero regrets. 10/10, do it every time you're here. Ship Island Excursions just earned a permanent spot on my Mississippi must-list. Can't wait to go back and cause more (friendly) trouble out there!
