From start to finish this holiday was awful and caused me more stress than I ever want to experience again.
Before going we had to fight for every bit of information, we couldn't plan anything as we just couldn't get the information we needed.
On arriving on board I was very excited as so many people had such great stories about cruising, only to find an old, tired and worn ship that had ...
We took this cruise as a last-minute Father's Day gift, and it was close to home. Embarkation was a disater. We had an 11:30 AM embarkation time, which was not adhered to. As we entered the terminal, we were told we must check our luggage due to the size. This never happened at the other Florida ports. Then, the lines were ridiculous and long, and very few people wore masks. Once we arrived in our ...
Before covid and having a kid, my wife and I cruised extensively on Princess, NCL and Royal Caribbean. We always thought of Carnival as too kid-focused and had low expectations of the service.
We chose a cheap/short cruise to Bermuda from our home port of NY to see how our 4 year old likes cruising. It just so happened that we got a good deal on booking close to sailing, so we rolled the dice ...
Let me first tell you that I have sailed 36 times on nine different cruise lines in eight different ports and the experience that I had in New York was the worst I have ever seen. Upon arrival at the port, it became very clear that the time they requested you to embark was a joke. We got in line just to enter the terminal and waited for an hour and a half just to get into the terminal! Once ...
It was just bad in almost all regards. The Guy's burgers were good but other than that dining options felt limited. Some parts of the ship were severely overcrowded and other parts were dead empty. There was painfully loud music or other sounds in the main pool area, which had a closed roof that trapped the noise and made getting around rather difficult. The main dining room food was decent, but ...
We just got back from sailing on the Carnival Breeze June 16th with our family of 5. The embarkation was great but that is the only positive thing about this cruise ship. The food was absolutely terrible. Pigs Anchor is only open from 11:30-1:30. Blue Iguana is only open 2 hours for breakfast and 2 hours for lunch. The food in the main dining room is already precooked so they just warm it up ...
When we first boarded we experienced horrible service. Workers were rude. If you look too young to be able to buy anything they will treat you like you are not even there. So make sure when you are talking to the workers you put on a nice dress and a diamond necklace so that they will treat you with respect. The detail on the avtivities on the cruise were misleading. Dont trust anything that says ...
This is my second time on this ship. The first time was in 2017. I was hoping to see some upgrades but there wasn't. This ship is old and dated. The aft part of the ship must have had some sort of a plumbing issue because the entire side of the ship smelled horrendous. So many people were gagging and were nauseous when they passed by there.
The cabin that we had was an Oceanview which was ...
We received a text offering this cruise as a very competitive price so we decided to bite the bullet and do our first post covid cruise. We usually sail with P and O, this was our first time on Carnival so we were interested to see how they compare.
Our cruise company used Port Parking which had a 15 minute transfer from Folkestone, embarkation was fairly smooth, a bit of queuing outside the ...
I stopped sailing Carnival because I was disappointed in prior cruises. I booked this one because my family had a last minute cancellation of a family camp vacation. I was very, very surprised at how good this cruise was and I would not hesitate at this point to book another Carnival cruise.
Other than embarkation, the cruise was nearly flawless. We had a set dining time (7:45) in the ...
