Let me starts with stating we have been on 12 cruises, so this was not our first cruise. Our previous cruise was on the Caribean Princess which was very disappointing. We sailed the Dream 2 years ago and found the ship in great shape. The crew was always cleaning, repairing, and attending the passengers needs. My only negative was embarkation and disembarkation was long. We will pay the additional ...
This was our first cruise. We chose this ship because we live in New Orleans. We chose this particular cruise because it included a stop in Jamaica.
We had a check in time of 10-10:30. We got downtown around 9:45, but by the time we parked (Fulton Garage), took the shuttle, and eventually found a porter for our bags, we did not get inside to begin check in until almost 11. We were assigned zone ...
went on a 7 day cruise to celebrate my 60 birthday, our 30 wedding ann, and a family vacation, here is a list of my problems
1. problems getting my room key to work right took us over 3x going to guest services to get the problems fix with having guest service come to the cabin and getting maintenance to fix the door and we still had problems with door opening after that
2. our cabin had ...
This is our second cruise with this itinerary on the same ship, so we had a really relaxing time even with our 7 1/2 year old with us. This review is just to highlight a few parts of this cruise as we kept pretty low key...and this cruise was back in April so Im a bit late.
Dining: Our waiters in the MDR were fantastic, but the kitchen was S L O W. One night it took nearly two full hours to ...
I felt the need to leave a review about this cruise because there are quite a few things that seems to have changed with Carnival cruise lines and I figured someone needed to say something. My hubby and I decided to take this particular cruise because we had a group of friends who were also going, and we like to cruise for family vacations simply because it's easier than most family vacations. ...
This was our 2nd time on the Dream, with the first being last year. They changed the menu this year and for us it wasn't for the better. you have the standard pizza & ice cream that you can't go wrong and the Salad buffet gave plenty of choices but the dining room was just average this time around.
The Cruise Director Brandon was pretty good, the comedy was above average, but the shows ...
Just returned from a 7-day Western Caribbean cruise aboard the Carnival Dream, sailed out of New Orleans. Our party included myself and my husband (both 28), our 2-year-old daughter, and my parents (my mom just retired and this was our celebration for her).
We arrived in New Orleans a day prior to the cruise and stayed at the Homewood Suites (on Poydras St), which was a fine place to stay for ...
love carnival, they give you the best value for you money. they always gives us a fun cruise. out of 20 cruises we have never had a bad cruise with them. we have cruised royal and Norwegian and have found we get more with carnival. our cabins seem bigger and the service is better on carnival and the food seems the same on all cruise lines though. some say theirs are better but what we found is ...
This was actually two cruises back to back. The first being 11 days from New Orleans to San Juan and the second being 10 days from San Juan to Jacksonville, Fl. Upon reaching Jacksonville, we have now sailed 15 times with Carnival. We had never sailed from New Orleans and had never sailed on the Elation. We took this 'Journey Cruise' because of the itinerary with several ports we'd never been ...
Check-in and embarkation went smoothly - no complaints. First meal - lunch buffet - the best meal, other than the pizza, the entire cruise. Endless ice cream - no complaints. Dining room - meals mediocre and cold. Desserts - dining room and buffet - nothing special. Formal night - we waited 1-1/2 hrs. to be seated. Food was extremely slow getting to the table, and when it arrived, it was cold. ...
