This cruise was most notable for the weather - it was cold, windy, and wet for most of the cruise. Really the only beautiful day was our Half Moon Cay day - so that was nice. But the seas were quite rough most of the time (it's great the ship has stabilizers) too. So overall, if you are looking for warmth and beautiful sunny days - just be aware you might not get them at this time of year. ...
First, the port of Baltimore. We had a 12:00 arrival time but the traffic inside the port was so bad we weren't able to park until a half hour or so later even though we arrived about 15 minutes early. So many people coming in an hour or more before their scheduled time clogged things up I think. Once we were able to park, we found the appropriate line for our time and breezed through quickly. ...
My husband and I chose this cruise since we can easily get a ride to the port. We wanted a break from winter. Neighbors joined us, making our party two couples 57-61 years old. We each had an ocean balcony.
PROS: As mentioned, convenience to port. Plenty of shelving around bathroom sink (6 shelves for all of the meds, makeup, toiletries etc.). Plenty of closet space between 3 closets. ...
My family and I had one table in the main dining room on the first day. By day 3, we were assigned a different table. When we arrived at our new table the service was insistent we were at the wrong table. He sent us upstairs to the other dining room and they sent us back downstairs to the table we were assigned to. That was miscommunication between staff would should have been sorted out prior to ...
My first time on a cruise and I picked Carnival legend. Had a balcony room. Paid for the cheers package wifi and gratuities all ahead of time. Just wanted to have a great vacation. I did have a great time. Enjoyed my “kiss on the lips” drinks at the bars. Was a regular on the second floor. Next time will just pay for my drinks not the package. I don’t drink that much. Entertainment was alright. ...
This cruise was right after Thanksgiving, so they slowly were putting up Christmas decorations as the cruise went on. A little chillier but to be expected. Had great weather. Cabin was very nice. Food in mdr we gave a 8/10 and Windjammer 7/10 as we felt not quite the selection of the past. Very good but wanted a better variety. Crew was awesome and friendly. Lots to do as far as activities. Love ...
This was an Ultra cruise out of Baltimore. We chose it because we are gamblers and the port is only a five hour drive away. We stayed at Best Western in Baltimore only a few miles from the port. They offered a one night stay, full breakfast and two weeks free parking, with free shuttle to/from the port. Great deal. Embarkation went smoothly and we attended muster as we boarded and then went ...
My husband and I were in a party of 8 for this sailing to Half Moon Cay, Grand Turk, and Amber Cove. All of us have cruised at lease once before.
Embarkation-was super easy and quick we were on the ship in less than an hour.
We had an ocean view on deck one, that was mid ship so it was very convenient for the casino, theater and dining room. Halloween Activities were in full swing (I ...
I chose this cruise because I've never been to New England before. Unfortunately, because of the hurricane, our itinerary was changed to the Bahamas. I'm a warm weather person so I was not angry with this. Also, we only had some 970 passengers on board because many people either could not change at the last minute or did not want to go to the islands..
The passengers really made this cruise. We ...
Overall it was a good cruise. A fair balance of port days (4) vs. days at sea (5). Food was always good (4/5), and service was exceptional (5/5). Embarkment and disembarkment were both smooth and extremely fast (ie. Only 20mins from our group’s calling on-board, down to our car at the port’s parking lot). The RC crew made it special, and memorable for my entire family (from our servers, to ...
