The Staff, service and food was just amazing.
The Panama Canal transit was very informative and left no question unanswered, almost like a live documentary.I would recommend this to anyone. I traveled with my Husband and my 2 grown boys who shared the room next to us. Our Room Steward opened the door that separates the Balcony ,that way we all four could share one big Balcony and that was also ...
Going through the Panama Canal was something that I always wanted to do, so this was the cruise for me. We have been to Miami before so we didn't do anything special before the cruise. Embarkation was totally smooth; Disembarkation.....not so much. Because of bad weather the ship had to slow down and we were late getting into Long Beach. Then, it took forever before they started calling groups ...
I have taken several cruises with Carnival and really wanted to do the Panama Canal. This may be my last cruise on Carnival, but it won’t be my last cruise. I am saddened because that means that I have to give up all my reward points, I am almost up to Platinum, but My disappointment in nearly every aspect of the cruise makes me sure that other companies can do it better.
The staff were ...
A PANAMA CRUISE, A SHIP NAMED SPLENDOR,
The carnival-crew’s smiles are what i will remember!
This nerd engineer signed-up to feel a warm breeze,
And see the wonderous canal from david mccullough’s book: “the path between the seas”.
From reading 20th century history to participating in 21st,
Our splendor was about the 5th cruise ship to traverse the new locks with neopanamax ...
The Good:
Everything on the ship was conveniently located and easy to find. Great itinerary. Just the right amount of sea days. Comedians were "top notch". Last two were very funny and engaging. Our cabin stewards: Voltor & Maria were outstanding. Dining had good variety. Would do another Journeys cruise on this ship! It would be nice if Carnival included the "intercom" messages, that ...
We selected this cruise for price and ports. It was very reasonable for an eight night cruise and visited five ports. I just finished a major renovation of my condominium so I did not want to spend a lot of money on a vacation this year. I actually went on this cruise with no expectations and the idea to just have fun. Having grown up in Miami, I have been on many cruises in my life time and ...
Chose the cruise due to cost and days cruising.
Had cabin 1410...AVOID this cabin at all costs..the water coming out of the faucet to brush your teeth smelled like sewage...and one of the smaller Karaoke lounges was known as the "Poop" lounge to the point that they had to bring in 4 plumbers (?) to get rid of the odor before people could perform.
The Good...wonderful cabin steward ( EKO) and ...
We chose this cruise because of itinerary and price. Embarkation and disembarkation went very smoothly. We were a little hesitant about the cabin because it was the bottom deck in the back but it turned out to be fine. The ocean view cabin was larger than expected. The food was good. The service in the dining rooms was excellent. The entertainment is pretty bad (especially the towel animal ...
My husband and I have done a lot of cruising and I have never come across a ship that was so disorganized. Answers could not be provided by guest services to questions I had...it was the ship of "I don't knows". When asked who did know I got no positive response.
Embarkation was a disaster. I am handicapped and any of you who were on the ship for a long time would probably have seen me ...
