We chose this cruise as a "get our feet wet" family cruise, and it was also our oldest sons senior high school cruise. He is 17 and we have 2 other boys 9 and 16.
Boarding went smooth and we were all excited to see this magnificent ship up close - once we boarded, the entire ship smelled like a port-a-potty - YUK - so Allure smelled a lot like manure - but eventually that went away, and we ...
I was in an ocean view
First the good:
The crew were fabulous. Attentive, friendly, extremely skilled and eager to please. I can't say enough good about all of my interactions with them all.
The "Chef's Table" was superb. I always book this experience whenever I cruise Royal and I was not disappointed. The food was, as always, great, the ambiance was first rate and again, the staff were ...
This was a charter cruise so I will try to limit my review to those items to the Celebrity ship itself. We have been on this ship several times in a Consierge cabin with nice balcony. The room was spotless & our cabin steward, Komang, was great. As this was a intense music cruise not a lot of time was spent in the cabin but the time there was comfortable.
We felt the food in the Main Dining ...
This seems like a very convenient and smaller cruise ship, but it is extremely crowded. I am 24 and they attempted to kick me out of the adult area 3 times, once telling me my card was not working and they could not tell my age. They assumed I was lying and I felt extremely unwelcome. I was the quietest one in the adult only area while other adults are screaming, fighting, and binge drinking in ...
Having sailed NCL several times before and reading reviews of the Gem, I looked forward to another enjoyable cruise. Sadly, we were disappointed.
The ship is very well maintained. The staff, excellent (except some non-helpful Shore Exc. staff). The majority of the public areas and venues are very nice. Our favorites where the Great Outdoors and the Spinnaker Lounge.
Food...let's just ...
I have cruised Carnival before and did not have issues but I have never booked excursions or room decor before so maybe this is standard. I ordered birthday decorations which they sold me but “ran out of” even though I ordered well in advance and had I known prior I could have brought decorations. Also booked an excursion, got the tickets then the night before got a cancellation notice. No real ...
This was not my 1st cruise with Carnival, but it may be my last. I know this ship isn't the newest, but I stayed on older and smaller ones in the past that put this to shame!
The Food- It was terrible, from the scramble egg soup in the morning all the way to the tougher than leather "Prime Rib" at dinner. It was bad. The buffet was the same food they served at dinner. Just somehow worse. I ...
We were part of the Cleveland Browns Fan Cruise Group on this cruise. We chose a Junior Suite on Deck 10 and were very pleased with it.
CABIN: A
Positives
Our steward, JR, was very funny and quite accommodating.
We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the balcony for breakfast three of the five mornings.
There was more than enough space to store all of our items. I am pretty sure we ...
MSC Magnifica is just magnificent . They made our spring break super fun and memorable. Food, hospitality, entertainment, events everything was spot on . Their entertainment manager Graham had another level of energy to keep the entire group engaged. Variety of food was great. Shopping experience on the ship was also great. Pools were nice and clean. Gym was nice and especially protein shakes ...
