Left Miami on Friday and back on Monday. Stopped in Key West and Nassau. Embarkation was fast and smooth. We did not bring much luggage so we carried on our bags. On the ship 10 minutes after arriving for our 11:30am checkin. First impressions were how clean and well maintained the ship was and staff were there to answer any questions. Dropped bags in state room which was being cleaned and this ...
I have done several cruises on very large and luxurious ships, as well as on small and very simple ships. I took the risk of doing the cruise with MSC on the weekend of April 12 to April 15, 2024 and I was a little skeptical that I would have a good time;...but what a great surprise I found, it has been one of my best experiences traveling on a cruise. The service and attention was excellent, much ...
This was my first cruise on Norwegian, but my 16th cruise overall. It was my favorite! The crew were ALL friendly, enthusiastic and fun. The food was good, service great, and the activities fun. Shout out to Patrick and Bruno (entertainment,) the waiters and bartenders from Topsider, Edwin and his fellow coffee singer, and Miss Washy-Washy! We bought 8 vouchers for CruiseNext and can’t wait to ...
Not a fan of inside cabins, wanted to try one with a window that overlooks the Promenade. Hubby is claustrophobic so invited sister to experience this cruise with me. The cabin did have limited space but with the window it made the cabin seem somewhat larger. Still do not think it would work for my husband though as he is spoiled by balcony cabins. We kept the window curtains opened during the ...
I just rejoined Cruise Critic after a long absence. My wife and I are taking about 2 cruises per month on Carnival and Royal. We live 30 min from Port Canaveral. The Allure is a beautiful ship with a great staff. Everyday, we were met with smiles whether it was the front desk, the casino, or the Foodjammer . We were greeted by name in some of the shops and the casino also. This was our Diamond+ ...
The Magnifica crew provided Excellent service! I Chose to carry own luggage off ship however Debarking was very organized and quickly got off the ship in less than 15 minutes.
The Food was good but Europeanish so I was able to expand my palate a bit. Locs, grilled cheese and pepperoni.
The freshly made pizza is delicious with many varieties and is hot and waiting which is so satisfying at ...
After exclusively sailing on Oasis Class ships for the previous 10 years I was concerned about going down to Freedom Class with a sailing on Independence. A quick look at the recent reviews here further confirmed that this would be the worst vacation of my life…
I’m very pleased to say that we thoroughly enjoyed our cruise and would absolutely sail on the Independence of the Seas again! Perhaps ...
We have been on over 20 cruises, and Allure of the Seas was wonderful. We found the employees to be super friendly, and also the food was very good. We enjoyed the variety of music and entertainment. Even without the shows, there was always something going on with contests, trivia, games, dance moves, multiple pools, and shopping. We booked four cabins in different areas, and they were all ...
Had a fantastic time on this cruise! Myself and husband in our 40's. Two teenage daughters 16,17.
Rooms- We had a balcony cabin which was perfect. A little smaller than RC or carnival but still great! We only slept here and got ready.
Our kids had an inside cabin across the hall (ish). It was nice but of course they hated not having a window or door especially because they never knew what ...
We were very pleased with the cruise BUT we always get a balcony and right below our balcony was a whirlpool with a very bright light that shined into our room all night. We couldn't stand out on our balcony and enjoy the view because there were people in the whirlpool all day long, every day looking back at us! We felt very uncomfortable because we felt they thought we were staring at them. Phil ...
