We selected this cruise because it was an 8 day cruise to ports we had never visited before. Embarkation was fast and easy but the first day there was a leak in hallway that resulted in a foul smell but it went away after a few hours.
The ship felt like something was wrong with it, it rocked all 8 days and I know it's had problems before.The cruise director was Mikey and he was very ...
Did a Back 2 Back (B2B) with the first trip on deck 1 inside aft.
Embarkation was extremely quick. Ship layout is a little weird, will get to that. Staff was excellent (like usual). Dining room was the quickest I've ever had. We had the first service and were out many days prior to 7 pm. Probably has a lot to do with the Main Dining Room (MDR) having so many two seat tables. That and the staff ...
This was a wonderful trip! I have been on several cruises, but this was my husbands first. We were traveling for our honeymoon.
The staff was absolutely fantastic and the attention to detail was amazing. Retchie, the man in charge of our rooms, was fabulous - not only did he greet us by name in the hall every time he saw us, but he went above and beyond daily, from icing down beverages we'd ...
We chose this cruise for the proximity of the port to our home. The ship is small, very small but accommodations are adequate. The main complaint is the smoking area of the ship is mid ship near most if not all the entertainment and activities. Since our cruise consisted of more sea days than port days, this area was intolerable and you most always had to walk through it to get where you were ...
Just got back from this cruise. I am a platinum member. Worst ship in the fleet. Rooms was terrible. My friends had a hole in the floor in their bathroom. Walking around the ship there was a smell of raw sewage. The ship was dirty and rusty all over. Not like other cruise lines. Seems like Carnival doesn’t care about quality. They just want to offer a cheap cruise to the masses. Took the beach ...
I chose this cruise 8 months ago after a 7 day trip on the Carnival Dream. My plan was to take a trip on all the dream class ships. Now I am questioning this decision. The crew is tired and not up to par with any other cruise I have been on. The drinks were very syrupy sweet and weak lacking alcohol and taste as if they are premade. The food was by far the worst I have ever had on a cruise. We ...
My wife and I just came back from a 14 day (Nov. 4th thru 18th) Carnival Journey cruise out of Baltimore on the Pride. We stopped at: Grand Turk, Aruba, Curacao, Bermuda, St. Lucia, and St. Martin. We had a fantastic time. We booked an interior room on the 8th floor right below the food court (it's like having the world's best kitchen just up the stairs!). The room was large, comfortable, and ...
We went on our first cruise with Carnival not really knowing anything much about Carnival since we had cruised with other cruise lines. We went as a family group of about 15, including 5 children, ranging from 2 to 11 (one of the children had a disability). The ship was very clean, well maintained and the staff was wonderful. None of our group had any complaints. The waiters at dinner were so ...
7th cruise on the Pride for us and we have always loved the ship and staff.
Pre/post-cruise Hotel: Stayed at the Best Western (Conference center) on Odonnell St which included parking and shuttle service. We have stayed here before mainly for the great shuttle. Hotel was OK, shuttle to the pier was good, coming home they waited until the van was full. Made 15 people wait for 1 spot to fill ...
I choose this cruise for shopping at the ports. Embarkation was disorganized and slow we stood in long lines in the hot sun being barked at by port police and listening to Carnival luggage handlers scream at one another. One handler requested a tip and then let us know that what we did give was unacceptable. Felt disriminated against for most services on board...ie ordering drinks,ignored in ...
