On April 4 at approximately 7:33pm my 3 African American children sat down to eat at Bonsai restaurant. There was only one table of 4 seated before them and that was the captain and his family. They did not take their order for 15 minutes. My teenage daughter sent me a text telling me that they can’t get food. I was at Java 2 floors down and came up immediately. By time I got there they had taken ...
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 ...
I never write reviews, but I feel as though I need to for this ship. We went on the Carnival Vista for our daughters Senior Trip with 9 of her friends. We also cruised with their families.
We have been on 16-17 cruises. We have been on 2 Carnival ships when we first started cruising. We didn't hate the cruise, but decided Carnival wasn't our thing. The others cruise lines we have been ...
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 ...
We were very pleased with the cruise BUT we always get a balcony and right below our balcony was a whirlpool with a very bright light that shined into our room all night. We couldn't stand out on our balcony and enjoy the view because there were people in the whirlpool all day long, every day looking back at us! We felt very uncomfortable because we felt they thought we were staring at them. Phil ...
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 ...
Because it got dood reviews and it was leaving from Baltimore. Unfortunately we had a very rough ride down and back and weather was not good anywhere but Half Moon Cay but that not the cruises fault. The food however was not very good, didn’t even look appealing. There was no entertainment really other than comedian who was very good and some piano bar etc. just a bunch of games and auctions ...
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. ...
The ship was a bit dated and in big need of painting and refurbishing. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The food was very good. The shows were lacking for sure. They had a great band Lady and the Vamps in the Ocean Plaza and a few other great musicians but that was about it. No productions or dancing. I’m just giving you the honest opinion. A few tips were added on our receipts as ...
