My fiance and I did the Honolulu to Vancouver cruise on the Carnival Spirit April 2011. This was my second cruise and his first cruise.We flew into Honolulu a couple days early and stayed at the Ohana Waikiki West for 2 nights prior to boarding the Spirit on April 22/11. We had the distinction of being on the 18th floor with an ocean view, however, the elevator only goes to the 17th floor and the ...
this was my first cruise ever , my fiance has also posted a review on here but i thought i would submit one from my point of view as well as i feel compelled to do so based on the experience i had . the pros : fast boarding ,decent food , superb service from our cabin steward conrado (it's been a very long time since i had excellent service with a smile). hawaii and our time spent off the ship was ...
We just arrived home to Vancouver from Hawaii yesterday, and wanted to get this off while things are fresh in the mind. There was a foreshadow of this cruise not going smoothly when we never had our cabin number confirmed until we arrived at the dock in Honolulu, where we lined up up for far too long in the heat we were not used to yet, to board the ship. Then, when we entered the dockside ...
I found a great deal on The Carnival Splendor and thought we would go for it. We have cruised on RCCL, Oceania, Disney, NCL and Carnival before so I was aware of the different levels of service and quality. Even though I thought I knew what we were in for I had another thing coming.Embarkation and debarkation went very quickly and smoothly. The cabin was fine and the ship (although very pink) ...
Just back from my second trip on the Carnival Splendor. I was on a two day Cruise to Nowhere in March.She is still beautiful. I have reviewed her before, and gave in-depth information on the ship itself, so this review is just going to be some random impressions of things I didn't get to on the previous trip.There will also be several other reviews of this sailing, which will probably give more ...
Our cruise started on may 31 to Canada. There were 2 families of us. This was our 14th cruises.Pre -cruise - we stayed at GuestHouse International .This hotel offered very low price ($89 for one night plus tax).This is a very basic hotel, just a little bit better than Motel 6. But, they do offer a lot of free services:free breakfast, free shuttle to cruise terminal, to Long Beach Airport or ...
We are most thankful for the itinerary change from the Mexican Riviera to Canada. Last October we embarked from thesame port at Long Beach aboard the Carnival Pride for a 7 day Mexican Riviera cruise. While we did enjoy our Mexican Riviera cruise, we liked visiting our ports in Canada more. Our first call to port was in Astoria Oregon. When we first got off the ship it was cold and windy with ...
Unfortunately after taking such a great cruise and getting it for a price that can never be repeated AND having a balcony for the first time, well I am spoiled for any further trips. Rats.My Husband I have been on several cruises each and now we have been on two together. The last one was on the Freedom last summer, which was a wonderful European trip.This cruise was on May 10th. The Sunday ...
We had originally planned to cruise the Mexican Riviera, but, the Swine Flu had other plans. Due to our schedules, we decided to go anyway and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We traveled with young adults.We departed from Long Beach, CA. We enjoyed staying on and touring the Queen Mary, where, for a good tip, the bellhop will take your luggage over the the Splendor for you. We also had the ...
This was our 17th cruise our 7th on Carnival. So, unfortunately we have many other ships to compare. We, tried not to compare and just enjoy. But, there was alot of unhappy people to listen to. It starts at the embarkation. For one thing the ship was full (over3000) and they didn't start to board until almost 1pm. So, between 1 and 5p all were trying to board. Get the picture.HaThe Lido ...
