Carnival Bermuda Cruise Reviews

Loved the destination of Bermuda and a driveable port--Norfolk, VA. Embarkation was challenging because Norfolk is not set up for cruises of over 3000 people. Very slow and disorganized. Get there before your assigned time and be prepared to wait. Once on the ship, everything was nearly perfect the whole week. Only complaint was our dinner dining room waiters did not get our dinner orders ...

We booked the Legend for its embarkation port (Baltimore is 1.5 hours from us), itinerary (just Bermuda - a place we've been before and LOVED), and size of ship as it was our 2-year-old's first cruise (and our first cruise as parents). I read a ton of reviews, looked at a ton of pictures, and watched a million videos - so I knew exactly what to expect from the ship. Embarkation was a breeze. ...

Carnival Cruise Line is known as the Fun Ships and they definitely are fun! This was my 7th Carnival Cruise and 9th overall cruise. We boarded the Carnival Magic in Manhattan New York. The boarding process was pretty easy and very organized. The only problem with Manhattan Terminal is that they do not let you wait anywhere, so you have to arrive on time and depart quickly. For those of you ...

I struggle with this review...we've only sailed on Carnival, this was our 9th cruise, and this was our first cruise post-covid. Of our 9 cruises, 7 have been from NYC due to its proximity to our home. Overall it was a fine cruise, nothing super great, nothing super bad, but just some wear and tear on the brand that we're seeing: 1) Embarkation. We actually felt that this was wonderful, ...

It has been a long time since we've cruised with Carnival as we are Platinum members, and we wanted to go back to Bermuda for a 5 day trip. We chose the Magic because this was the only ship available for this time period. The check-in process was smooth and we were the 1st group to be boarded on. Disembarkation, however was horrific as everyone just got in line and waited for long periods of ...

We chose the Carnival Legend from Baltimore to Bermuda because it was only a 2 hour drive from NJ, the dates worked well for us, and we did not want to fly to a cruise port as we did previously. This is our 3rd time cruising on Carnival (we have also cruised Royal) and this ship would rank 3rd if we ranked all 3 Carnival ships we have been on. I guess the theme here is "lowered expectations". ...

I chose this cruise as it left from a port than was about 1.5 hours away. Drove from Philly to NYC. Paid $160 for parking at the terminal. My two daughters ( ages 5 and 12) went with me. We dropped our bag at the terminal, parked, and went into the terminal. Went through the checkpoints rather easily and quickly. No issues, Waited about 20 minutes in the terminal before we boarded the ship. Rooms ...

From the beginning to the end was horrible. I've been on 7 cruises and this one I was miserable. You first get to the ship and so unorganized and not knowing where to go. One line you would get in to be told no go to another line then a long line with gaps outside and people just jumping in wherever to get a green dot. 2 hrs in line to go inside to another line . Another hour later lead to another ...

Just came back from a quick cruise with family. It was our first cruise back since before covid. Not sure short staffed, covid changes or cutting back; but long long lines everywhere. Big events with a lot of people in the evening and no food to be found or just pizzeria and Deli open with an hour wait or more. If you had the drink package long lines to get a beverage. The quality of food was ...

Before covid and having a kid, my wife and I cruised extensively on Princess, NCL and Royal Caribbean. We always thought of Carnival as too kid-focused and had low expectations of the service. We chose a cheap/short cruise to Bermuda from our home port of NY to see how our 4 year old likes cruising. It just so happened that we got a good deal on booking close to sailing, so we rolled the dice ...
