My wife, daughter (her 1st cruise) and we had the worst Cruise experience yet. 4 visits to guest services the 1st day. 18 people on our trip, 4 families.
1) they made us book 2 rooms for 3 people.
2) rooms keys didn't work
3) confiscated my bottle of wine
4) I had a drink pkg, so I got 1 beer and then proceeded to Lido Deck where we bought 3 lanyards, and sign for them.
5) Gust ...
We wanted to see the Bahamas. The cruise left from Mobile, a very convenient port for us. Room was clean and comfortable. Steward did a great job. Food was way suboptimal. Not sure I have ever been on a cruise where the food was worse. Actually ate three times where I tried simple entrees or appetizers that were just awful. I have never left that much food on the plate. One bite was all it took. ...
I had high hopes for this cruise. Our last cruise on the Pride was amazing. But this was far from it. Never seem our cruise director. Wouldn't know what she even looked like. New menu is not good. Poor quality. Terrible taste. Overcooked or cold. Buffet was terrible. Breakfast was inedible. Eggs were water, bacon was raw, croissants was were stale. Good luck getting butter. Didn't even ...
I cannot tell how excited my family was for this cruise! With the exception of a few, my concierge John, our wait staff (Amazing) and the ladies who did our nails and the manager of the spa...Everyone else seemed like they were being held captive! I kept asking "how long have you been on"? It was insane! The activities director Sucked! Seriously, my daughter is 31 and she was bored out of her ...
Carnival Spirit is old and has not updated for over 8 years. Even when updated lots of original items remain; bathrooms and carpets are outdated.
Food gets worse each year, especially for someone who prepares meals each day with fresh food.
Long lines everywhere.
Transportation from airport to ship is horrific! Not worth paying for this service, figure on waiting hours at the airport ...
Ship needs upgrade, my previous cruise on norwegian was on a newly renovated ship with good layout so this ship's condition seemed like real eyesore to me. I will say that the food is better than on Norwegian. Also do not like layout of the Spirit. Common areas too few and very smoky. Could not escape the smoking areas.
SMOKING AREAS!! Too many and could not visit 2nd or 3rd floor without ...
We cruise every Halloween (and then some) and can always find something to eat that is different and nice. Not this time. We are easy to please, but....this was bad. I heard so many people making the same comments that I am leaving here, it was a common theme!
The bad: The food was not good The "buffet" was extremely limited - and recycled. I know its a small ship but having 5 items is just ...
This was my 3rd cruise with carnival, it was a matter of timing, budget and location. The staff was great especially erin. the only complaint for staff would be one cook at blue iguana...more to come on that. highlights would simply be alaska itself. this was my first ever visit there.....awe inspiring. especially the glacier tour at tracy fjord. and the fact that the area had rain for weeks ...
We chose this sailing because the price for 2 people in a balcony. But we soon found out why. Our balcony was so spongy we were afraid if both of us were using it at the same time we were risking collapse. Also upon boarding we headed to the serenity adult section of the deck. The pool out there was dark green! And people were using it the entire trip with it like this. The night of boarding we ...
The port in Jacksonville was very easy to find and to get a park. So much better than New Orleans. No homeless people hanging out like New Orleans. The Embarking and Disembarking the ship was total chaos! We had verifly app and had a passport. We didn't get out of there until 11:30 a.m.! Having a passport did help some, but not much. Embarking and Disembarking was so much better on Carnival ...
