This was the worst cruise my wife and I were on from a dirty ship to cold food we asked our room steward twice for a mattress cover and never got it the only good food was in the steak house,which you hD to pay for. The entertainment was not even third rate. You could not even get orange juice after 10am when we got back we sent a letter to the customer relations department,and they were supposed ...
My wife and I were recently fortunate to be able to spend 14 nights in February on the Carnival Pride stopping at many Caribbean ports. We had a great time, and I would like to share some of our observations. First, the boarding process during Covid. We were expected to be tested two days before departure, plus bring our vaccination cards. In addition, we were retested in the terminal before ...
The cruise was made amazing by the friendly and wonderful crew. Everyone from the folks washing the windows to the Maitre D at the restaurant greeted us with a smile and a hello. Three people really stood out:
Ravi in the Alchemy Bar who could come up with the most amazing drinks - both alcoholic and non-alcoholic!
Our room steward Eka, who gave us service above and beyond what we expected. ...
Every night and sometimes through the day I would go and play the tables in the casino. Everyone was nice but Helber’s hospitality was exceptional. He took the time to explain any game he was the dealer at. The patience he had was phenomenal. It was a pleasant experience. The room was great, along with Kay the waiter the dancing he did put a smile on everyone’s face. Definitely a better ...
After 23 months, I was so ready to get back out on the open seas. Had never been on the Pride, but had been on one of her sister ships. So I was familiar with the ship’s layout. Easy to navigate. Glad that we could walk through the casino without having to smell cigarette smoke.
I only ate in the MDR for breakfast. Two of the days were for Seaday brunch. Service was excellent and attentive. ...
This is my 17th Carnival Cruise Line cruise and fourth on the Carnival Pride which used to sail from Baltimore, MD, now it sails out of Tampa FL. Embarkment was a little slow going due to a lack of wheelchair pushers for my wife, once we did get on we went to the Lido deck for their buffet. The food offerings at the embarkment buffet had limited offerings and I would have to rate the variety ...
My wife and I characterize ourselves as seasoned cruisers having been on over 15 of them over the years. We took a few years off but now that we retired, we're back at sea.
The cruise left Tampa on a Saturday and arrived back eight days later on a Sunday. We had taken advantage of a great casino promo code linked to our VIFP accounts and got an obstructed view balcony and a fair amount of ...
By FAR the worst we've been on
Guest services are unbelievably rude, and have nasty attitudes. The food was TERRIBLE (I even found a tree LEAF in the gravy and the chef shrugged it off and continued to serve it!) The whole cruise was EXTREMELY boring, no poolside games and contests everyday or any kind of fun games and activities around and inside the ship other than some TERRIBLE trivia. The ...
The cruise was running at restricted levels which made the trip very pleasant. The cruise through the canal was delightful as we were able to see the locks from many different location. They did have crowds on the front decks and some people brought chairs and sat through the locks but most people were very courteous. I compare this to pre covid trip back in 2019 and the front of the ship was just ...
My wife and I took this cruise to celebrate my 69th birthday. It was anything but the stress free experience we anticipated. We were surprised upon lining up to embark with the announcement that we had to have a covid test prior to boarding, despite the fact that we were both fully vaccinated. Had they told us beforehand this was needed, we could have gotten one free at our local CVS, as we're ...
