This was my first platinum cruise the perks were great. I read reviews on this ship prior and took it with a grain of salt. This is my review . I do not like to complain i work in customer service and the whole world is short handed ,but this was the worst cruise i ever cruised on.carnival needs to step it up!! i have been on freedom in the past. Bars by the pool during spring break always ...
This was our first cruise in about 10 years and we had both kids and older adults with us. We all had a great time at each port and I’d recommend the shore excursions we did through carnival. We had no problems getting on and off at each port- seemed organized and quick. We enjoyed all of the entertainment team organized activities we did on the boat, especially the trivia games. The family feud ...
This cruise was most notable for the weather - it was cold, windy, and wet for most of the cruise. Really the only beautiful day was our Half Moon Cay day - so that was nice. But the seas were quite rough most of the time (it's great the ship has stabilizers) too. So overall, if you are looking for warmth and beautiful sunny days - just be aware you might not get them at this time of year. ...
My family (me, husband, 2 kids ages 6 and 12) recently went on the Carnival Venezia. It was the first cruise ever for my husband and kids, and my first cruise since I was a teenager, so I don’t have much to compare it to! That being said, we all had a great experience.
The whole ship was beautifully decorated, and everything appeared to be very well-maintained. The staff were truly top notch; ...
This is one HUGE cruise ship. We specifically sailed on this ship for our cruise, even though we had already traveled to all the ports of call.
Pros:
Cabin- we traveled with 2 adults and 1 child. Upgraded balcony room on deck 10. Balcony was huge with 2 chairs, end table, and large lounge chair for sunbathing. We will be forever spoiled with this balcony for future cruises. Rooms have ...
Close to home, convenience. Florin, at Java Blue coffee was wonderful. He deserves a raise. No matter how long his lines were, he was always pleasant and ready to tell a joke. He also remembered names! Family did a great job keeping our rooms tidy and to bring whatever we needed or wanted. Lizzie, the Cruise Director, was super engaging and upbeat. She is a super find. The food is mediocre, but ...
We just got off the Carnival Horizon and wanted to share some of our experiences…. The lively ambiance was contagious and the guests and crew seemed happy to be on the ship. Our room was clean and comfortable and evidently, bigger than interior rooms on other cruise ships. The entire ship was new and clean and well maintained. The majority of the workers seemed happy to be on the cruise and ...
This was our 7th cruise with Carnival. First time cruising out of New York. Also our first time visiting New York. We stayed 2 nights prior to the cruise, at the Comfort Inn Midtown. The hotel is only about 1-1/2 blocks from the port so it was very easy walking to the ship on embarkation day. The cruise port is not as big as the ports in Florida so it was a bit more crowded, but overall, ...
My wife chose this cruise for her 50th birthday. It was fun and we missed half moon cay due too the weather and that was a bummer so we spent more time in Grand Turk which was fun. They had a lot of shows and various activities onboard for adults and small children but on the down side there wasn't much for teenagers to do and the Internet was blotchy and the whole ships cruiser's had motion ...
1st we had a famtastic time however there were a few things that we did not like. I called to book the drink package and was told to call back. When I called back was told the package had gone up $10 per person per day. Hard pill to swallow. With only 15 drinks per day. Sounds like a lot but with 3 at sea days it really is not. Also we selected any time dining. Will not do that again as it really ...
