On Celebration, you need an App to check the daily schedule and to reserve your diner time. The problem is that you need to pay for the App. This should be included in the cruise price. I understand the reasoning for this application but the cruise line should provide such a service for free. I ask if there was other ways to reserve our diner time and the answer was to get to the dining room and ...
This was my second Carnival cruise.Boarded at Port Canaveral easy drive from Orlando so consider hiring a car if you have a few people in your group.
Loved the overall look of the ship the Mardi Gras but not as easy to get familiarized and find your way around. Many dining options included and loved the layout of buffet area in smaller rooms. Dining room experience less than I am used to ...
Me and my wife took this cruise to celebrate our anniversary and the dates worked out great for our schedules. This is our third trip on a Carnival ship and enjoyed our prior trips. We were actually a little disappointed on this one.
Staff: The staff was kind and friendly with the both of us. Grace in the Red Frog Pub was friendly and met you with a smile. No issues with any of the staff ...
We took this cruise for a quick get away. I have been cruising Carnival for years. This is an older ship but that does not bother me. Any day at sea is better than being home. I had 2 major issues on this cruise. 1st issue my linen on my bed was dirty. There were 6 layers of mattress pads sheets and a topper. I slept hard the first night and pulled my sheets off of the bed and that is when I ...
Jubilee is too big, too disorganized. Lido deck was not planned, well. The 2 level bar on lido blocks the outdoor screen. If you want eat outside the area has slotted walls up which means you can’t see the lido pool area, the screen, seats are uncomfortable. The buffet food was bland and seemed like the same thing everyday. Bathrooms too small, because of the large shower, which is ...
The Cruise was fun. The weather causing excursions to be cancelled was disappointing. We were refunded and understand the weather was not Carnivals fault but seeing in Turks there was just a drizzle we couldn’t understand and never received an explanation for why our excursion was cancelled or why we were just notified when we got to the excursion point leaving no chance to schedule something new. ...
I have cruised with Carnival many many times (enough to be at Platinum status for a while now). First time on Carnival Magic.
Embarkation: This was a piece of cake.
Cabin: Adequate. We had a cove balcony which we always book. The mattress was awful though. Awful. Balcony was rusty and dirty most of the week. We expect it to be salty as it is close to the water, but this was dirty and ...
At first, we were really disappointed with the Dream. Then, things kind of turned around a little during the final sea days.
The good things:
-- The ship and staterooms seemed very clean.
-- The Alchemy Bar was a kick. Engaging, professional bartenders. Good drinks (although not cheap at $14 for a cocktail).
-- The Bonsai Japanese restaurant was one of our favorites. The food and ...
The food was only fair, but it helped me to avoid going weight. The Italian restaurant on board was fantastic and I wish I had discovered it sooner.
The excursions were great although some cancelled due to poor weather and it prevented docking. The dance show was fantastic until a performer fell off the main stage and into the descending front stage pit and required medical help. They refused ...
We decided on this cruise as it was out of NYC and we didn't need to fly. We weren't on Carnival for a long time but we knew it was a party crowd.
The Good
The ship is beautiful and easy to get around.
There are many free food options. Guy's burgers were the best we have had on cruises. The deli sandwiches were excellent plus Mexican taco bar.
Dining Room Food It was generally ...
