We were thrilled by the first sight of the great old girl, the Paradise, a grand lady! For us, this was jaw-dropping decadence. Everything was so clean and well kept! Our cabin was small, but plenty roomy for us. The shower was hot and the water pressure was fantastic. Our Cabin Steward was Wahyu. He made us feel like we were the most important guests! Every little thing was paid attention to and ...
A few good things first: We had a suite, so boarding and disembarking were quick, no problems. The staff at the port are wonderful! We were able to go to our room immediately upon boarding. The suite was quite large. No problems there other than the big pole in the middle of the room right by the bed--made getting up at night hazardous. The walls also seemed very thin. We could hear crying ...
Please don't get me wrong, I LOVE CARNIVAL CRUISES however, this was the worst one I was ever on..
Where do I begin?
This is the smallest ship in the fleet and I brought 10 people on this cruise. We had What they called a junior suite. Junior was not the word for it.. Cabin is no more than a crew cabin with a balcony view. it was tight, tiny and I would never call this a suite of any sort. ...
This was a bad cruise experience to say the least. The crew was friendly and kind but it was painfully evident they were under staffed on a sold out cruise. We have cruised with Carnival before and this cruise was poorly planned and executed. 30+ minute wait in the buffet lines over and over, poor choices and mediocre food. We waited over an hour for our anytime dining (not at out convenience) ...
I cruise multiple times out of the year and this cruise by far was the creepiest, weird and disappointing. Here's my reasoning behind why we felt this way.
Cons: 1. One of our port days was canceled which was Turks. We got a refund for $16...really.
2. Right before two of the major shows were canceled back to back we heard an announcement of an emergency, no follow up. If it's not for the ...
Picked this cruise with 4 of my other friends -
when I say for a first time cruiser i was NOT impressed. The buffet was minimum - the restaurant service along with the food was very displeasing with the portions and just feeling rushed to put your order in.
This was a small cruise line but the amount of people it held wherever you walked to/ went it was packed constantly- waiting in lines ...
I agree with All the reviews of don't take this cruise for the following reason, briefly:
1. Food horrible
2. They do accessive charges on your card.
3. They change policies as you aboard, things are not within the contract. Subject to change quickly without notification.
4. Lines are long for the food service.
5. Rude.
6. No one is on the same page as duties entire.
7. ...
We chose this cruise because it was affordable for our group of 15. This was my 2nd cruise with Carnival, the last being 15 years ago. I've cruised 12 times and have tried the four popular cruise lines: Carnival, NCL, Princess and RCL. You know the saying, "you get what you pay for." Everything about this ship is CHEAP. The food was the worst I've ever had on a ship. This is the only ship that I ...
3rd carnival cruise, 2nd time this same ship and itinerary (went with group this time), and first post pandemic. Was disappointed with food. Buffet was same as dinning room, very limited diversity. We don't drink alcohol and generally only drink iced tea and water. The tea and lemonade was disgusting, how do you screw those up? Coffee and hot cocoa in buffet rooms were brown water. ...
This was mine and my fiance's first ever cruise for the both of us. We really enjoyed the comedy shows, especially the big one the last night of sailing. The 'how to make towel animals' seminar was a fun little expo (special recognition to the gentleman who ran that event, he was really upbeat, cheerful, and funny). The dining experiences were really good and we loved our waiter(s), they were both ...
