This was to be another fantastic family cruise - post COVID crap and back together celebrating. What a bomb. Our first cruise (circa 2001 - we have been on 10 cruises since) was on Navigator - I still remember being offered a Pina Colada the minute we hit the entry hall on the ship - "you are on vacation mon .... we've been waiting for you!" Well, this is a fond memory never to be had again. All ...
Leaving from Baltimore this cruise is on one of Royal's oldest ships in their current fleet, Enchantment of the Seas, invoking ideas that'll be dated, lack activities and in general be a boring ship, I'd say the opposite! This ship has some fun extra details due to its extension back in 2005, offering it's outdoor Oasis bar and a larger pool deck with see through floors to the passing ocean below! ...
Be prepared to wait at the Baltimore port for 2 hours in the car.
Our room steward was young, untrained and did not understand English
Food was in the refrigerator from the last guest. After letting our room steward know, I threw it away on Wednesday
We had to ask for clean glasses by Friday
No clean towels. I think we were supposed to use the towel animals
We had to schedule a time ...
Upfront, Carnival lost us as customers and will explain why when discussing debarkation.
We chose Baltimore as it’s a convenient 50 min drive for us. We lived in FL for many years and all our previous cruises where out of FL ports. This was our first cruise since COVID, so we were curious on what changes we would see. One immediate change is the HUB app. This is an awesome addition and ...
This was my 15th cruise on a carnival ship.
Although it is an older ship it still had all things that make Carnival the Fun Ship.
The staff was amazing as usual, going out of their way to make you comfortable. My Room Steward was Josimo and he took care of us well.
Yes the decor was not as jazzy but this is an older ship. It was very clean
Yes you see the same staff serving dinner in ...
We took this trip with another couple out of Baltimore. All of us are in our 70's with a few health issues. Parking was easy. We chose our balcony room 4173 (Deck 4) with location in mind close to elevators on either end and central in the boat without any obstruction to our balcony. We were 2 floors above the Promenade Deck (Deck 2). We didn't know that the Promenade Deck (Deck 2) is open from ...
We took this cruise out of Baltimore b/c we live in Delaware. It was a 1 hour drive and we were picked up and dropped off very easily. It's super easy to find the cruise terminal so that's a plus. Embarkation was a breeze, probably the best I've ever been on, and I have cruised a lot. The ships layout was pretty easy to follow. I will say as others have mentioned, some of the décor is a little ...
Chose this cruise last minute as we were in Baltimore. Its been a few years since we sailed Royal. We are Emerald members. This old ship should be seriously docked permanently. the ship is rusted and smelly. Carpets need to Our cabin was next to a Utility room and every night we heard rumbling noises from our shower. And the smell of sewer. Bringing this up to our attendant and Guest Services was ...
We had a large group of 30 people taking part in this holiday cruise. First time sailing out of Baltimore, we found the cruise port/terminal to be very well run, organized and clean. The Embarkation process was seamless and took no more than 20 mins including security.
Once on board, our rooms were ready right away, we were able to set down our carry on luggage and make our way to the lunch ...
This cruise had ship issues (freezing cold cabins and common areas) at the beginning of the cruise (first day and 1/2). The cruise staff did not communicate, and cruisers found out there was an issue when making calls to maintenance. One call we made to maintenance went unheeded although they promised to send someone to our cabin. We had 3 cabins and Royal provided credits two of our cabins at ...
