It's my second Carnival and I was supposed to get on the newest and biggest ship in the carnival fleet. I give the food in general 3 stars. THEY DO NOT HAVE A VARIETY of meals in their non-paying restaurants. It is very repetitive and there is no variety. The Soda vending machines do not work and are VERY scarce. If you buy a package of soda and are used to Royal Caribbean, forget it! It's even ...
The Carnival Horizon is beautiful ship, Staff was Amazing, but it is missing a few marks as it pertains to adults. We missed the Jamaica port of call on our Sailing due to inclement weather and although there are plenty of activities throughout the ship. When trying to get away from the kiddos for a while and relax in serenity we noticed there is not an adults only pool within serenity or anywhere ...
My recent voyage aboard the Carnival Cruise Dream from April 6th to 14th was a rollercoaster of experiences, ranging from delightful surprises to disappointing letdowns.
Let's start with the positives. Among the sea of mediocrity, two stars shone brightly. Dewa, our room attendant, embodied excellence in customer service. His attention to detail and friendly demeanor made our stay memorable. ...
Overall a good value for the money as it was an easy drive into the city. The ship was clean and maintained well inside and out.
We enjoyed sitting outside on deck five in the various areas. On sea days there was a lack of quiet places to relax and chat. I really enjoyed the staff at the Amari Bar…Shout out to Vlad, Jennifer and Jefferson for being artists of mixology!
Food was good, not ...
It was easy to get on and off the ship. I had an inside cabin which was surprisingly roomy. The only thing bad about it was it is very dark and when you wake up you have no idea what time it is so bring a night light and a watch or phone. Beds were extremely comfortable. My assigned steward was absolutely wonderful. The bathroom has liquid body soap and shampoo, but no conditioner. There was ...
This ship had the slowest elevators i have ever seen. Had to take stairs most of the time. It was supposedly remodeled recently, so you would think it would be faster not slower. The service in the buffet was horrible. We had to chase down someone for drinks everytime except once. The housekeeping staff was AMAZING though. The spa staff was wonderful also. Just very disappointed in the over all ...
Here are my thoughts on Carnival Jubliee from the point of view of a 60 something British person with many cruises under my belt on many different lines.
Essentially it was OK. But I was very surprised at what was missing from other cruises I have been on. Firstly there is effectively no buffet. All the cruise ships I have been on boast a huge selection of food in a large buffet on the same ...
This was a bit of a last minute decision to book a cruise over Easter weekend and quite a regretful one. We thought, how bad could it be? Let's just say, we won't be doing it again. This ship was packed with lots of families and late spring breakers. We arrived at the port at our scheduled time and pretty much walked onboard. Easy check in and security. We've sailed many times so usually get ...
Although the Carnival Venezia is a ship with good accommodations, great crew, and an excellent kids club, it overall remains subpar with its buffet food choices and ship layout. Let’s start with the bad:
Ship Layout: The ship is laid out a bit strange, and not necessarily by where things are located, but rather the flow of moving from one place to another. For example, Deck 3 goes through the ...
The pros:
-The ship is new, beautiful, with many activities at any given time
-The Serenity pool/bar area for adults only is large with plenty of loungers and sun beds. We never had an issue finding a spot even later in the morning.
-Drink service on departure day - you won't have to look for this - you will be swarmed. Your drink package does not apply on day 1 so I am guessing ...
