We had been to Hawaii before and know how beautiful it is, and were looking forward to sharing it's beauty with our friends. There was a group of 14 of us.
The ship was old and in fair condition. The rooms were average and the beds were very uncomfortable. Our backs were killing us the first night. The bedding, however, was comfortable.
Activities - what activities?? If you don't ...
This was my first trip to Hawaii and it certainly lived up to expectations. Hawaii is a most incredible place to visit and I would certainly recommend going! However, I would most definitely not recommend going with Carnival!
I'm so disappointed as I have sailed with Carnival twice before, once on this very ship, the Miracle and once on the Sunshine, and they were very good. However, I feel ...
Carnival Legend. What can I say?
Decor: Tacky.
Food: Average at best (had me wishing I could be at home to cook my own meals).
Entertainment: Average to Decent. Musicals were OK, but did not appreciate the juggler joking about his "balls". Funny the first time. Crude and annoying by the tenth joke. Trivia games were trivial, but really the only things that could alleviate the boredom ...
Let me start by saying that I have always been a Carnival fan, and started sailing on their ships 24 years ago. We have sailed on other cruise lines, and always end up coming back to Carnival. That being said, we are now seriously considering switching our allegiance after the disappointing experiences of this cruise.
This was a repositioning cruise, Carnival was switching the Legend from ...
We sailed with Carnival a number of times. Unfortunately the food quality and amenities deteriorated each time. Service are suffering too because the staff are overworked. This might be the last time we will set foot on a Carnival ship.
Here are some of the low points of our tripe:
• We sat on a dirty flood from 12 to 5 pm before we were able to board the ship.
• No refreshment or food ...
Our second time sailing on the Miracle.....do NOT book cabin 8202.The air conditioning was roaring all the time. It was a lot louder at night. Maintenance tried to fix it.....we had them in the cabin at 2am one morning.The guy did try his best and said he would have to talk to his chief.They did turn down something but it was still loud.
This cabin needs a good cleaning,maybe when she comes back ...
Noisy engines & annoying vibration. Entertainment (?) nobody really wants to see not one, but two shows featuring other guests (ya know, the same ones who can't wait for kareoke hour & should never, ever, be part of a ships entertainment itinerary), or how about two (or was it three) juggling/comedy/majic shows? I can remember when the evening shows were really something to look forward to, so ...
Granted I haven't been on a cruise in about 20 years, but most people are usually wishing their cruise would last a few more days - I couldn't wait to get off of the ship.
If I wrote down everything that went wrong it would take a full 15 days to read my review, but between slow lines getting on the ship, in ports, off of the ship and many other 'things' that happened in 15 days I would put you ...
Just got back from the 12-6/12-21 sailing to Hawaii. A cruise that, IMO, shouldn't have happened. As a matter of fact, based on information I found out later, the ship should have never left Long Beach.
Embarkation: A complete circus. It was nearly 6:30 PM before we cast away and set sail. That should've been our first omen right there. Just when I thought they were all finished loading up, here ...
When we planned our 'once-in-a-life- time' cruise to the Hawaiian Islands we had 60 hours of vacation time for five islands and a stop in Ensenada. When our cruise was over, 15 days later, we had Island time of 44 hours, including a 8 to 11 pm stop in Ensenada. Out of our five (5) chosen excursions, we only were able to enjoy one (1) excursion of our choice. Our other four (4) excursions were ...
