This was my very first cruise and I must say that this was the best thing I could have done in my whole life. Don't get me wrong I can swim but I was so against being on what I consider a little boat in a giant pool of water with no bottom. All of that went out the window. I found the staff to be the most helpful, the eateries were great, and the drinks were to die for. But, to add to the extra ...
I was nervous about sailing on a ship with this many people. Some of the areas are definitely too small for this many guests. Specifically center stage, the Mardi Gras theater, Punchliner comedy club and the limelight lounge are all too small for this many guests. They try to alleviate this by having multiple showings of the same shows. Unfortunately the times don't always work out with how long ...
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 ...
Hi friends. A quick recap of my recent Celebration cruise.
For background, I am platinum with Carnival and have cruised somewhere around 20 -25 times with several different lines. Took advantage of a casino offer for this cruise. Early December is a great week to cruise.
Our early embark time (10 -10:30) allowed us to basically walk on the ship with no wait. Toured the ship and had lunch in ...
Although we usually cruise out of Baltimore because we live in Northern Virginia and it's a quick drive to the port - we wanted to try Carnival's big new ship, the Mardi Gras.
1. This is a huge ship with tons of bars and restaurants. You can try something new every day and still not hit everything. Although there were 6200 passengers on our cruise, for the most part crowd levels were not bad ...
I enjoy cruising and since I live in Manhattan, I jumped at the chance to cruise from my homeport. I live 20 minutes away via Uber. I usually fly to Florida, the West Coast. Asia or a European port. When Carnival or NCL are sailing from Manhattan, I book a cruise. I booked a terrazza cabin for hubby and I. The room was nicely appointed. Average size. The bed was comfortable. The room was ...
This was out 31st cruise on Carnival and we wanted to see the difference between the smaller ships we've been on and this one. This ship did not disappoint and we thoroughly enjoyed the cruise and the ship.
As far as dining, you will run out of days to try all of the options available. We ate at Chibang - the Asian/Mexican restaurant and it was being offered for free during our cruise and $8 ...
I was invited by one of my daughters as a birthday surprise for my eldest. It was my first cruise and I wasn't sure what to expect.
I was totally blown away by my experience. It was awesome the crew and everyone I met was friendly welcoming and helpful. The ship was beautiful and very well maintained. Marie could be found picking up behind us passengers with a smile,and remembered our names ...
I absolutely love the Celebration. The pools are amazing. Serenity is very upscale and relaxing. There are so many different places to relax. There are so many bars. We lived the Gokden Jubilee. . The piano bar is the best I have ever been to on and off a ship. There are so many great places to go. You really can’t be bored. The restaurants are phenomenal. Our favorite is Rudi’s.
I have ...
Havana cabanas are a must do. The privacy of your own deck , pool and hot tubs, from all the commotion, of all the people, was just awsome. The bonzi Hibachi grill is so good and so much fun. For 35 dollars a person. There is so much food, you have leftovers to take back to room. The chefs, doing this are so entertaining, and talented. You also need to make reservations before boarding. ...
