This was my 35th cruise, but first ever NYE cruise. This cruise was myself, husband, daughter and her husband(this was his first cruise).
Embarkment was fairly quick and easy. We were on this ship by 11:45am.
Dropped off our luggage at our Spa Balcony cabin on deck 12 and headed to the Lido for lunch and a cocktail.
Guy's Burger was delish as always. I didn't eat at the Lido buffet all ...
Took 5 day cruise to Bahamas on Elation. It is a Fun Ship! Everyone in our group including adults and children had a great time. Very nice staff. We loved Gabe, our cruise director, who was overflowing with energy and smiles! A few things to know about the Elation. It seems like an entry level cruise ship. Smallish and needing updating. Two hot tubs full of children <10 yrs old, plus two hot tubs ...
From the moment you board this cruise, you can still feel how truly old it is. First, it's the 21st century and I still have to print a boarding pass. The last time I printed any kind of ticket was like 10 years ago. As to the ship, what areas they may have updated in 2019 still feel a decade old, and everything just looks incomplete.
The food throughout this cruise was mediocre at best. The ...
So this was my 4th cruise.(all on carnival). I didn't really enjoy my first 3 cruises but my idea really wanted to go. I have been to the long Beach terminal on all 4 trips and never had an major issues with the staff until this trip. When arriving , I was surprised when told i had to drive offsite to downtown long Beach to park, ($80 prepaid btw), and take a shuttle back. This took about an hour ...
Having never been on a cruise before, I booked this cruise for our family vacation for the end of last year. Well, to be clear, some things about the cruise were good, carnival earns on one star review because of how absolutely horrendous their customer service has been. Literally the worst I have ever seen from any large company in my 40 years of life.
Our room on the ship was directly below ...
3 day cruise from Sydney Australia. Food . Rubbish . Entertainment. Rubbish . Staff direction . Rubbish . Internet access . Ripoff . Nightlife . Rubbish . Only good thing we can say about this trip . Getting off the boat to go home . Carnival splendor. RUBBISH .
I will never sail with this ship or Carnival again . Unorganised from go to end. Had better food in Macdonalds. Entertainment was like ...
In an attempt to boost margins, they have cut out quite a few things and many things are out of order.
Notables:
• 3 Ice Cream Machines where out of order simultaneously
• Guys Burgers no longer seems to use the hand cut fries (3rd cruise in a row, without them
• Most of the burgers have sat out so long or are charred, you can only eat the "middle" (get two or three and throw the rest ...
My wife and I decided to try the 3 day cruise
We didn’t know what to really expect.
After disembarking we discussed and reflected in the fairest way I feel
The staff were very hard working and the catering was managed to perfection .We did wonder how there were som many staff on board as many were from overseas.
Pros:
For disabled people it was quite functional
The food ...
First & last cruise. Ship needs a deep clean & repairs in lots of areas. Horrible sewage smell! Extremely crowded to the point you could not enjoy yourself. Tried the hot tub but always full, even the “adult” only ones (kids everywhere). The pools are sitting pools not swimming & again seemed to always be packed. Food is made of very poor quality ingredients (that was not crawfish on the pasta or ...
My first time on a cruise and I picked Carnival legend. Had a balcony room. Paid for the cheers package wifi and gratuities all ahead of time. Just wanted to have a great vacation. I did have a great time. Enjoyed my “kiss on the lips” drinks at the bars. Was a regular on the second floor. Next time will just pay for my drinks not the package. I don’t drink that much. Entertainment was alright. ...
