We wanted a family cruise. So we chose the carnival legend. The food selection was absolutely minimal. There was not many choices to chose from and everything we ate gave us diarrhea the whole entire time. And several other people in the boat dealt with the same issue. We went through a storm and in the midst of that, two rooms had their balconies fly completely off! The ship is very outdated. The ...
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 ...
We chose the specialty dining experience onboard, and spent most of our lunch and evening meals spread throughout Chops, Izumi, and Giovanni's. For us, it was important to escape the crowds and practice safer dining habits than found in the Windjammer, MDR, etc. We were well taken care of at every interaction in specialty dining, welcomed like family, and immediately recognized and treated with ...
After experiencing the horrors on Carnival Magic last year, I was hoping for a much better experience with Carnival. Thankfully, this cruise experience did the trick in an overall very good way!
The ship got delayed in arrival since they got caught in a nor'easter off of South Carolina, so embarkation unfortunately got push-backed by 1 hour. However after the delay, the embarkation process went ...
This was my 41st cruise and 13th on Royal Caribbean. I traveled with my husband and 2 adult daughters. We are from Long Island and Manhattan. This was the May 11th 9-night sailing to Bermuda, Nassau and Perfect Day at CocoCay.
I highly recommend this cruise! But you need to keep everything in perspective. Because while this ship lacks “things,” it more than makes up for it in “people” – ...
Was the ship too small? The food not good enough? The service lacking? Entertainment not exciting?
Let's break it all down after a 9-day Bermuda, Nassau, and Perfect Day at CocoCay cruise aboard Vision of the Seas.
Starting with the ship overall - it was in fantastic shape for its age. Minimal signs of rusting, though we heard from folks with balcony cabins that the divider hinges had rusted ...
The seas were rough going out of Baltimore. But the cruise was so much fun. Sure the itinerary was rushed the first few days, and I'd like a do over on those days (even missed dessert on the firstfew days), but the staff was friendly and the excusisions were so much fun. Half the cruise got sea sick so they canceled and postponed entertainment. Spent a lot of money at the casino it was fun and ...
Carnival Legend did nothing but cause stress in a time of relax. I got the (15 ct) drink package in which the bars attempted to cut me off even when I had 5 / 4 drinks left. This happened twice. Other bars could see how many drinks I had left, but the other half had their computers reading I reached my limit, taking away from what I paid. When dining at Follies, the server charged another persons ...
I have never been treated more poorly by individuals who were supposed to be providing me with a service. The security on the ship is absolutely abysmal. There is zero care or concern for the safety and well-being of guests, there is flagrant misuse of authority and absolutely unbecoming conduct by several higher ranking crew members.
The food was low quality and cold. Much of the ship was ...
I thought by taking a twelve day cruise rather than flying to the southern caribbean would be a good idea. But what turned out to be seven days on this boat was a bad mistake. This ship is old and very very warm down. Who can afford to take a twelve day cruise old people!. It's very worn-out and in a upgrade despitely. As for the crew they did the best they could do with what they had to deal ...
