This is actually a very positive review, read on.
We sailed with CC a few years ago and that left a very bad taste in our mouths, literally. Food was horrible, the staff was just average and we would have never travel with CC ever again. The recent incidents of the cruise being stranded added to the horror show.
We booked the trip with Carnival Glory since the price is right for a family of 4. ...
After a really AMAZING 8 night cruise in May on the Carnival Splendor, my boyfriend and I decided we HAD to go on another Carnival cruise before the summer was over. With my tight schedule, we could only fit in a shorter cruise, and the Carnival Glory 5 night to Canada fit the bill. Neither of us really cared about seeing Canada, and we took this cruise in hopes of meeting new people and having a ...
When my wife and I booked this cruise we didn't expect much. We had heard recent grumblings about how the service and quality on Carnival has hit bottom. We booked this cruise only for the itinerary (we have always wanted to visit Halifax) and thought our 2 children (7 and 11 years old) would enjoy the laid back Carnival experience and most of all the price was right.
We boarded the ship with a ...
This cruise to Canada was "adequate". Pros: stateroom with oceanview balcony with one very comfortable king bed. 6th floor near front very quiet. Room service punctual, friendly. On the whole, maid service also very good -- although two calls had to be made on one occasion to get attention to our cabin. Pools: lots of pools and whirlpools to choose from with or without children. Wine prices per ...
After reading about the physician who had the worst cruise ever (one of the reasons was they called him by his first name after he registered with Carnival as a doctor!!! OMG how terrible they did not recognize G-D was on their ship), I thought I would add my own opinion. This was our fifth Carnival cruise and around 15 in total. After our 2011 Carnival cruise which was a nightmare we decided to ...
My first cruise was on Norwegian Sky, so unfortunately the bar was set pretty high. My second cruise was on Carnival Paradise, and I wish I avoided all the shows on that one, as it wasted precious time. This review is about my third cruise on CARNIVAL GLORY, 4 days from NYC to Saint John Canada... My review is a mixed bag, but surprisingly it is positive!
My group had a total of 13 people: my ...
So to start, I am going to just say that I always be a loyal Carnival Cruiser. The experience that myself, including the people that came with me, was something we will never forget.
We have sailed twice with Royal Caribbean and much enjoyed our trips, so when money was tight we decided to give Carnival a try. Knowing Carnival cruises were cheaper than most, we boarded the ship without knowing ...
I have cruised many times on Carnival with my husband and adult children and have also had the opportunity to cruise with NCL over the years. I've found that with any cruise line, travelers need to take some things in stride. If they do, they will never be disappointed in a Carnival cruise.
don't expect a lounge chair to be waiting for you poolside especially after 12 pm, don't ever expect the ...
This was our first time aboard the Carnival Glory, and it turned out to be a pleasant ship to sail on. It was a very smooth journey. It was, however, a bit awkward in navigating to the formal dining rooms as their main entrances were not easily accessible from mid-ship - one had to go to the extreme stairs/elevators, whether forward or aft, to find the right way to enter them. But that's a minor ...
Dismal weathered vacation from NYC to Canada on a traditionally older ship with nondescript food but excellent service.
