This cruise was pretty fun. I like cities and the cruise had an atmosphere of a city in which everyone was trying to have fun. In the way sardines in a can are trying to have fun together. The other guests were the only form of entertainment that was remotely enjoyable on board.
The crew was mediocre. While they clearly projected friendliness, they cut every corner possible and only smiled or ...
The ship itself was very nice, clean. The cruise on the other hand was a bit rocking heading to Cozumel. Which is why, I will say the service and food was a bit off from the usual, per previous sailings with Carnival. The dinner, even sea day brunch just eh this time around. The cabin, was an ocean suite and it was very nice and roomy. My wife and I enjoyed the closet space and she loved the tub. ...
We used to cruise a lot before Covid. We are gold card members on Carnival. Our kids are 8 and 9 and this was their 6th Carnival cruise. We recently went on a Royal Caribbean cruise on the Independence of the Seas and had a great time, but we loved the Carnival kids club and had fond memories of cruising when our kids were much younger. They hadn’t been on a cruise since 2019 when they were 5 and ...
We've been cruising several times in the past with Carnival and RCL. We had great impression on Carnival back to 2016 so we chose Carnival Dream to sail with our 18-month old baby. However, the entire trip was not good at all compared to our past experience.
1) Embarkation - Probably the only good part. It is very smooth. We arrived on time and check-in is very smooth and fast.
2) Food - ...
Selected the cruise for the ship, dates and cost. The Miracle is an older ship with a smaller guest size than the newer ships. The ship is well maintained for the most part but there are some issues to be aware of.
Embarkation was a little convoluted but not a problem. We were going to be parking the port and received an email about the parking structure at the pier which was not going to ...
First time ever on Carnival. Been on RCCL 5 times over 24 years. The Magic has the best food not only in the dining room, but with Guy Fieri's Pig & Anchor BBQ and Emeril's signature dishes on every night's main dining room menu, this is the ship to eat!!! I never usually order 2 appetizers or entrees, but I did on this ship. Absolutely YUMMY!
Entertainment was also top notch in the theater. ...
It is always good to be a sea. Here are a few things I wish I knew on this cruise.
PARKING. Its been a few years (and maybe 40 cruises ago) we sailed out of Tampa. Thankfully we were close enough to drive. Frankly it is a bit confusing because the lots near the ship are not ship parking, they are for the aquarium. Do not attempt to park near the ship. The ship parking is a 4 story ...
My Carnival Cruise ,Breeze, was on December 9th 2023. Let me start off by saying I've been on several Carnival Cruises. I will never be going on the breeze again! Had a horrible experience. This boat is old and outdated. From the beds to the curtains even dining seating had stains and it stank like body odor everywhere on the boat . Understaffed and overworked employees cant give there best. Saw ...
This was the worst cruise ever. The port in Charleston SC was terrible. We had to walk a mile back to our car when we got back or wait an hour for a bus. There is no where on this ship for peace and quiet. This is for drinkers and gamblers. The dining room is a joke. Its more like a cafe. The server didn't introduce himself. He just came up and said are you ready? One piece of bread, one ...
My first cruise for my 40th birthday. It was great. Our Cruise Director Robby was awesome. The only thing I didn’t like was that we didn’t book a longer trip! We went to the Florida Keys and Cozumel. The keys was nice although lot of the local shops didn’t open until a few hours after arrived. Cozumel was awesome. Great beaches, lots of corral washed up on the beach. All the local shops and ...
