Too many issues

Review for a Transatlantic Cruise on Carnival Freedom

This was our third Transatlantic cruise with Carnival and by far the worst. If this had been our first Carnival cruise we'd never set foot again on a Carnival ship. The cruise got off to the worst possible start and never really recovered to an acceptable level. It started on a sour note with Embarkation and finished on a sour note with Disembarkation, the bit inbetween was only slightly ...

Took this ship over to Barcelona and back to Port Canaveral for the "replace the whale tale" transatlantic cruises. Wow, what a mistake! First mistake was not knowing that you don't take a cruise on a ship that's going into or out of dry dock because there will be contractors working on various aspects of the ship all during the cruise. Fortunately, we weren't bothered by this in our cabin ...

I am surprised by how bad the food is and the ship is dirty. The staff are good but seemed to be trained not to give bigger than a child serving for the Buffett. The prime rib a few nights ago turned out to be a few bites of beef. They cut such small bite size pieces I felt bad for the carver. Awful. Just ruined a good prime rib why bother?? This will be my last cruise on Carnival. I really used ...

We embarked on a transatlantic cruise from Barcelona to NYC with high hopes, as it was the ship’s inaugural voyage. However, we were let down in several areas. Below is our evaluation of the ship, rooms, services, and food: Ship: The ship was average when compared to other Carnival vessels. We found the layout to be somewhat confusing and the lighting was dim. The adults-only Serenity area was ...

An inaugural cruise that should have been special but wasn't

A 15-Day cruise from Barcelona to New York City. Took a very similar cruise on Horizon (maiden voyage) five years ago and LOVED it. We were hoping to repeat the experience on the "reassigned" Venezia's inaugural cruise. I know that comparing ships and voyages can be a slippery slope but, so I waited a while to submit this review in order for my impressions to truly be valid and not just ...

We are Platinum VIFP, and have sailed Carnival many time, as well as Princess, RCCL, and HAL. The Ship…all that can be said is, that it is beautiful. Just don’t like the Costa funnel. The Crew…as always they worked very hard to make our vacation wonderful and memorable. The Entertainment…Great vocalist…The shows were mediocre at best and Color My World was the worst show I’ve ever seen on ...

I chose this for the excellent itinerary which it was. Excellent port stops; beautiful ship with plenty to do. Lots of daily activities if you are a social person and enjoy trying new things like dance classes, trivia games, lido parties. The shows were excellent as was the comedy. Casino was also fun and the dealers and managers were all very friendly as were most of the ...

Review for a Transatlantic Cruise on Carnival Pride

6-10 Cruises • Age 70s

This was a repositioning cruise of 13 days from Lisbon to Tampa. We chose it as a potentially relaxing way to return to the USA after several weeks touring Portugal. Our Ocean Suite was large and the cabin staff kept it very clean. However, the Pride is an old ship, and the cabinet doors and drawer fronts were sagging and squeaky. We hesitated to open the closet door for fear of disturbing the ...
