Our favorite vacation is a Carnival cruise so we decided that's how we'd spend our 25th wedding anniversary. We can drive to Galveston in a couple days so we wanted to go out of that port. We chose this particular cruise because the diving in Cozumel is generally wonderful and my husband has never been to Progresso.
The cruise director told us that the only reason the ships go to Progresso is ...
So to start our vacation off, Carnival informed us on Thursday afternoon that they not be going to Progreso at all. Instead, we got to spend a day along the beautiful shores of Galveston. Don't get me wrong, I live in Texas and love it, but Galveston is not my idea of a place to go for crystal clear water and an all inclusive beach getaway. The cruise went very well for the most part. My ...
1. BACKGROUND: This was our 6th cruise (all on Carnival ships), but our first as just husband/wife with no kids or other family members. It was also our first 5 day cruise (all others were 7 days) and our first while school was still in session. Although we've never had major issues with lots of kids onboard during summer months, their absence was still noticeable!
2: EMBARKATION: We drove ...
A family member booked the cruise. I traveled on Carnival over 20 years ago and remember it being fabulous and luxurious. Boy how times have changed. The embarkation was fine....cattle call but that is to be expected. Our luggage was eventually delivered so that was ok as well. The room was tidy but tight (again what can you do). The bed was horrible. It was in the shape of a W it was so ...
To say my husband and I were highly disappointed is an understatement. The lines were long getting on the ship even though we chose a check in window. The food at the buffet was absolutely horrible and it wasn't even warm maybe if it had been hot it would have been better. The AC needed a tune up in our room we had it all the way down and our room was barely tolerable. The drinks are watered down ...
Just got off Carnival Liberty sale date May 7-12. The cruise that just came back experienced bow thruster issues and did not make Cozumel either. They knew ship was broken they didn't tell us until we were already in the ocean. This is theft by deception.
Other issues on the ship was Fridge was broke, television worked half the time, tub whirlpool didn't work and when you call to get it fixed, ...
My sister had used carnival cruise line before. She said that we needed to go on a cruise together taking our mom for mother's day. We left Galveston Texas on May 7, 2016 to go to Cozumel then to Progresso Mexico. Once on board we were told that we informed that we would be going to Progresso first disappointed yes but not the end of the world. When it was time to depart Progresso Mexico they ...
We chose this cruise because because it was a shorter cruise that stopped in Cozumel and it was a different ship that we had ever been on so we were excited to explore it. WRONG!!!!!!! One of the things that I noticed right away was that it was a dated and not very clean, 2nd of all it looked as though they were short on staff in every department. We never had the same waiter at dinner, the ...
This was our first cruise after years of trying to get my husband to take one. I am very disappointed and this will probably be our last one too. First off, the itinerary changed 2 different times. The first day of the cruise, the ship was running late due to the prior cruise had mechanical problems and was late getting back to Galveston. When we finally were able to check in to board the ...
Have been thinking about how to write this since returning. Was on the May 2nd sailing, left extremely disappointed. By now if you have been reading these you know what happened. Two weeks in a row, missed stops in Cozumel. Communication by Carnival was awful, Bottom line, many Passengers left angry with a feeling that Carnival just wasn't honest with them. I get the whole Lemonade out of Lemons ...
