Just came back today from a 4 days cruise on “Liberty “ ship. It was the worst cruise I ever had! I have been in 12 cruises this one stand out as the worst ever, in the following negative areas:
- Not enough staff
- Food lines enormous due to lack of service, closed lines and coordination
- The nasty smell all over the ship.
- Same food almost ever night and very low quality in ...
So this is my first cruise. Overall it isnt horrible. However, if you want a peaceful cruise this is not it. Unbelievably crowded and people saving lounge chairs for hours. Good luck finding a spot to sit and relax. Also, parents think since they are on a cruise most aren't watching their kids and letting them do whatever. Honestly with the amount of unattended kids and Crowdedness has made this ...
So... We chose this cruise based on availability for spring break. upon booking, we knew it would be crowded. the crowds were the least of our concerns. the check in and disembarkation process was very efficient and moved quickly - no issues with either. carnival has it down to a science for sure. so 10 out of 10 !
Food: thank goodness for guys burgers - that's what we survived on the ...
This was my first cruise and chose the Liberty because I was told that there would be lots to do aboard hence it was called the “party ship”. The activities was endless but it wasn’t what I expected , it was more lounge singing and not many hands on experience. The food was endless and the wait time wasn’t bad. However the “Ol Fashion BBQ” lived up to its name “old” it tasted awful and it was ...
Paid a whole lot to sit in a tiny cabin for a week. Starting day one there was no internet, although we all paid and were charged. Although internet is optional, app access is required for dining/activities, and when their internet is out it your problem, not theirs. Excursions were cancelled for no good reason. False advertising of their private island at Princess Cays (can’t enter water unless ...
TLDR; While we had multiple small issues with our vacation, we still ended up having a good time. The staff and food were amazing, the physical problems with our room and app were the major turn offs. Would we sail Carnival again? Likely no unless it was a family/friend group trip.
This was my first Carnival cruise since I was 16 (I'm 45 now) and I always had fond memories of those boats and ...
I will not do Carnival Valor again. When we first got on , I wiped down the table and desk and the towel was black. There were stains on the wall. Mona at the Blue Iquana was rude! Never went back there for a drink. Lovell was awesome at the Frog Bar but the other crew skipped right over you. Maybe you should find better bar staff. The food wasn’t that great and the ship is very overcrowded. The ...
I usually don’t write reviews but This cruise was NOT worth the money spent. The food was not good anywhere even at the dinner restaurant. The drink package was not worth it because it took 30mins to get a drink each time because the bartenders are very slow since they get the same tip either way (auto grat), they were also rude. Service in the dining room was very bad, sat with an empty water for ...
Never cruise with Carnival!
I have been on quite a few cruises and always felt sad when the cruise was over, and I had to go back to every day’s life. Not this time! Everything bad you could imagine happened on this one, and this was not accidental, it was deliberately caused by the cruise company. But let’s list the topics one at a time.
Embarkation
The cruise policy states that you are ...
This was our 3 time on Paradise. We live close to the port so it's a convenient vacation. I would say this cruise that the food was bland. Nothing to brag about. Our first evening in the main dining we had beef brisket which was delicious, but that is the only meal that really stuck with us. The ship was clean, staff friendly, entertainment was great (never had a bad experience on Carnival with ...
