I chose this cruise because of the 13 day itinerary. The itinerary that took us to warm and sunny places, so I could get out of COLD Ohio. There were also two ports we had never been to and wanted to see. We also wanted to see how our favorite islands were doing after the hurricane. I was excited to see how Carnival turned the Destiny into the Sunshine. I was very disappointed. Being a ...
This cruise did not compare with the first cruise we took. There where some hiccups that could have been avoided with more training and better over site by supervisors or managers.
We are experienced cruisers in having taken 32 cruises, 30 of those with Carnival.
Cape Canaveral has it down to a fine science in the boarding of passengers. They are quick in getting your luggage unloaded from ...
It is hard to write about all the great things that were on this cruise, there are so many!! From the start it was great, fast onboard checkin, easy to use the Carnival Hub to find out what is going on. Fantastic food, loved lobster night. The waiters and waitresses were great, felt like a princess. The ship was big enough to do anything you wanted to do. The entertainment was very good, would ...
Wanted to cruise a warm climate and visit Caribbean islands we had never seen. Ate most of our meals in the buffet, as the dining room took nearly 2 hours the night we tried it. Food was very limited as far as choices. One seafood, one chicken, one pork, and usually a roast beef carving. Two or three vegetables. Maybe a soup. 3-4 desserts. Not what we hav experienced on other lines (Princess ...
Choose this cruise because of the great ports of call. Had sailed the Sunshine twice before and thee condition of the ship had been adequate both times. The condition of the Sunshine as declined greatly over the last year.
Arrived in Port Canaveral on Sat and stayed at the Hampton Inn. Recommend the hotel for staying the night before. They do have a Cruise and Park program though i did not use ...
I sailed on the Magic 1-6-18 with my husband for our 12th anniversary. We don't get to cruise often, so it's always a treat. We splurged this time and booked a Cloud 9 spa suite, which was fantastic. We really enjoyed the spa access and easy access to the serenity deck. I've never stayed that far forward before. It worked out well because we weren't too far from lido and our dining room was ...
A little background. I have taken about 20 cruises, splitting my time between Royal Caribbean and Carnival.
The cruise:
3 day trip to Bahamas in January
Embarkation:
We decided to check in later in the day instead of attempting to be the first on the ship. We arrived at 2 pm and waited in the security line for about 45 minutes. Once we made it to the the Carnival staff, it went ...
We took this cruise as a long weekend getaway for New Years. We typically cruise the larger newer ships across different cruise lines. Overall it was a nice cruise and cruise ship for the holiday.
Pros:
Holiday decor- The Christmas decor throughout the ship was beautiful
New Years Celebration- festivities started at 11pm both indoor and on deck
Cruise Director Cookie was ...
I chose this cruise, after 26 years of working on NYE, I wanted to spend with spouse without working. The inside spa room was roomy for 2. THis room was so close to the outside deck and food. This ship is big and sometimes I did feel overwhelmed, just moved inside or went to serenity decks, which is 3 decks high. I will go on a NYE cruise again! The Steakhouse was the best thing we did and went ...
The cruise did not start well there was a problem with one of the motors so we did not leave till 3 hours after when we were expected to. This was just the start of problems to come i purchased the drink package which was nice they had a good selection of liquor. But you get cut off after 15 drinks for the day and are not even able to purchase any more you would think this would happen every often ...
